Updates from Manassas Park Middle School - 8/24/2018
WELCOME BACK!
We are SO EXCITED to have students back on MONDAY!
The summer is a great chance for us to clean/improve/reset the school building, but without students, the building just doesn't feel right. This week we had out 6th Grade orientation and Open House and it felt so good seeing the faces of students and parents back in the Middle School!

We can't wait for students to be back!
Did you miss all 4 laptop deployments? Here's what to do!
Complete infosnap online. If you know your PowerSchool Parent username and password, this can be done at home, otherwise this requires a visit to the school during school hours.
Once both are completed, the help desk staff will be able to deliver a laptop some time during the second or third week of school.
MPMS Athletics Update!
Please read if your child is planning on trying out for a fall sport at MPMS:
- Tryouts start on 8/28-- the second day of school.
- We will have girls volleyball, cheerleading, girls track, boys soccer, and football at MPMS this fall.
In order to try out for any sport...

We're looking forward to a busy fall season!!
Reminder - ALL 6th Graders need a Tdap shot!
The State of Virginia requires all rising 6th grade students to present proof that they have had one booster of the Tdap vaccine. This is the vaccine for tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap).
Any questions, please ask your physician or email our school nurse, Ms. Vonvital at dianna.vonvital@mpark.net

PE Uniform Details!
All students must wear an official uniform shirt and either the official shorts or pants during class.
Having a PE uniform is imperative for safe participation on physical education.
When choosing a size, please take in to consideration your child is growing and plan ahead, they can wear their uniforms more than one year! Label uniforms with your students first and last names across the back of the shirt and on the shorts.
