MSA Parent Update
August 28, 2020
Just a quick update about a couple of important items. Please check out everything that is going on at MSA:
Masks Required on campus and on busses
Student Parking
Students may NOT at any time park in the faculty/staff parking lot in front of the school.
ID Cards
To assure that this happens, any student who comes to school without their ID on will NOT be allowed on campus until they go to the office and get a reprint of the ID card. All reprint ID cards will cost $5.00. Any student who does not have the funds to pay at that time will be billed the cost of the replacement ID card.
Thank you for your attention and support in this matter as we work to continually improve our security on our campus.
Uniforms
We would like to thank everyone for doing a good job of being fully in uniform the first two weeks of school. Please remember the following items daily:
- Only MSA logo shirts are allowed at school.
- Students must wear a belt at all times.
- ID Badges must be worn at all times on the student's upper body.
- Shirts must be tucked in and may not be rolled in any way.
- Only MSA sweatshirts can be worn during the school day at any time.
- Students may not write on or alter their uniform or sweatshirt in any way. (that includes cutting the neck or cuffs of the sweatshirts.)
Shirts from activities that students have done outside of school will no longer be allowed. Thank you for helping us enforce the dress code. Just a reminder, when we have no school on Friday, students may not wear Friday shirts on Thursday.
Friday shirts are for Fridays ONLY.
Thank you for your assistance in helping us enforce this important policy at our school.

Rainy Dismissals
In the event of severe weather, we will change our release procedure to ensure the safety of our students. Once the buses get into a normal routine, we will release all bus riders first. All parent pick-up cars must pull into the parent pick-up loop. MSA staff will instruct you what to do at that point. After all buses are gone, we will move the vehicles from the car rider loop to the front of the school. The staff member in the car rider loop will direct you when to move. Do not come into the front parking lot until you are released from the car rider loop. Cars in the front parking lot will hinder the movement of the buses and will slow the entire release process. We will have all students who are car riders waiting in the front of the school. We will call the students out once you have moved to the front of the school.
Please talk to your student about being quiet and patient while waiting. We will only use this Rainy Day procedure for lightning and other severe weather conditions. Please make sure that your child comes to school prepared for rain. It is always a good idea for a student to have a poncho available in their backpack for rainy days.
We realize that this procedure will lengthen the time it will take to get the students home, but with your patience and support we will be able to get all students out of the school as quickly and safely as possible. Thank you for your understanding, as we will have rainy dismissals before the year is out.
Additionally, we will use a texting feature on our parent notification system to notify you if there are any changes in dismissal procedures.
Parent Pick up Reminders
The entrance of Riviera Dunes, the bank, rehab center, the furniture store or the Courtney are not places that students may be picked up at the end of the day.
We have great relationships with our neighbors and we can't interfere with their businesses or the daily function of their clients. All surrounding businesses have been advised to call local law enforcement if they continue to have problems with parents picking up students on their property.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
