Dear Students, Families, and Staff,
Welcome Back!
We hope you and your loved ones enjoyed a restful and refreshing Spring Break! It is hard to believe we are in the final stretch of this school year with just 9 weeks left! As we start another productive week, I want to take a moment to highlight the value of our Weekly Kickoff Bulletin. This bulletin is more than just a list of events-it's our central hub for everything happening across the school district. From key updates and important dates to opportunities for involvement, we want to keep you informed, connected, and empowered in your student's success at school!
Let's make the most of this time together by staying focused, supporting one another, and finishing strong! There is still so much to Celebrate-Accomplish-and Experience before the school year ends. 
UPDATE: MPH's   "Step to Success & English Learner Parent Workshop"has been cancelled for April 17th. We will share a new date soon if rescheduling becomes necessary. Thank you for your understanding!
