August & September 2020 Breakfast/Lunch Menu
Please find attached the August & September 2020 Breakfast/Lunch Menu. Please keep in mind that the September lunch menu is just a partial menu for now, but the rest of it will be available next month. Thanks everyone!


Thank you parents for all you did to help us get the kids back in school. As the year progresses, there will be times that parents want or need to come to the school as a visitor or volunteer. We are asking that all parents who come to the school wear a mask, get a temperature check, and are also sanitized before entering. We did let a few parents come in today without a mask because it was the first day, but starting tomorrow we will enforce masks for all adults entering the building as a visitor. Thank you!


The MPS Handbook and Consequence Ladder can be found on the MPSLions.org website under the documents tab.


Please remember to send an extra pair of tennis shoes to school with your child. These shoes will be used when we have P.E. Our gym floor gets scratched and damaged when we wear street shoes on it. THANKS!


Tonight, from 5:00-6:30 kindergarten families are welcome to come meet their teachers. Families are asked to bring supplies and paperwork too.
We are so excited to welcome our newest Lions.

Hello Friends,
We will be holding Kindergarten Round-Up on Tuesday, August 4th from 1:00-7:00 pm at the elementary building. We encourage parents and their child to attend if they will be starting Kindergarten in August. This event will allow time for registration paperwork to be completed and turned into the office as well as give incoming Kindergarten students a chance to meet their teachers. We look forward to meeting our new class of Lions and their families!
