News from the Principal
MHS will host Meet the Teacher on Monday night from 5:30 to 7:00. This is a great opportunity to meet your child's teachers. A few things to keep in mind:
- Make sure you know how to log into Home Access Center to view a copy of your student's schedule. If you are not able to log in before you come, we will have computers available.
- Teachers will not be able to hold individual conferences, but they will have a sign up sheet and contact information to schedule a meeting for a later date.
- Our PTO and several MHS clubs will have tables so you or your student can find the best way to get involved.
- This will also be an opportunity for parents of 9th and 11th graders to sign up for the PSAT test that will be administered in October.
We hope to see all you Monday night.
Have a great weekend.

PSAT Information
The PSAT is a standardized, multiple-choice test that includes three sections: critical reading, mathematics, and writing. The test provides practice for the SAT and offers insight on areas for reinforcement before the SAT. Scores can lead to National Merit Scholarships: The National Merit Scholarship Corporation uses these scores to qualify semifinalists who are then considered for National Merit Scholarship competition. Recognition by the National Merit program provides a
monetary award and can often be leveraged to secure additional scholarships.
