Principal's Message
Dear Cougar Community,
There will be two Distritubution Days this month all will be from 3:30 - 5:00:
December 7th - 1st and 2nd Grades
December 14th - Kindergarten
Remember to put a piece of paper with your child's grade level, teacher, and name in the front window the your vehicle to help with distritubution. Kindergarten materials will not be ready early, but first and second materials can be picked-up on the 14th. If you ordered a yearbook last year and have not picked yours up yet they will be available at both pick-ups.
STEM teachers are now providing science grades for students. Please ensure that your child is attending STEM each day.
A survey asking for parental preference for the second sememster is now active. The survey can be accessed through the Parent Portal. The portal can be accessed here:

These videos give step by step directions for accessing student information in Power School.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Changes in Times for Food Distribution
Now you can pick up 5 lunches and 5 breakfasts at a time for your child(ren).
This drive-thru style pick-up will be held at FOUR locations every Monday.
9:00 – 11 am at Cougar Elementary via Cougar Court
11:30 am - 12:30 pm at the MP Community Center/Dog Park
1:30 - 2:30 pm at Sandstone Way & Manassas Drive
4:00 – 6:00 pm at Manassas Park Middle School
Meals are limited to one set of meals per child, per week.
Please note, the bus distribution sites that were utilized for the past two weeks WILL NO LONGER be used. Meals must be picked up on Mondays only. There are not enough personnel to staff all locations.
Proof of enrollment, or bringing a child(ren) to pick up, is required for parents to pick up meals. Proof of enrollment can include a student ID card, report card, or any other school communication containing the students name(s). If you need assistance with providing proof, the food services department can make an ID badge which you can use for future visits.
If your children are not school aged, our food services team will work with you to provide a proof should you wish to pick up without children in the future. Please talk to them during the pick-up time slots noted above.
We hope that replicating our Summer Feeding Program and adding an additional pick up location and window will permit more families to take advantage of this FREE service.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to serve as many people in our community as possible.
You Can Now Check-Out and Pick-up Library Books!
