Happy Halloween
REMINDER: No School Friday 10/30
1st Quarter is coming to an end....
Our first semester parent teacher conferences were changed from the original schedule for last week. This was due to safety concerns surrounding our current community situation with Covid, but we still want to share with families about school , student progress and learning. Our goal is to reach out and make at least 5 positive contacts with all families. We are sending postcards, emailing, sending text messages, making phone calls, hosting google meets, sending weekly newsletters, and providing updates on our Facebook page. Additionally, we are sharing updates from many of our Teams each week in this newsletter. However, we understand that families may want more or have one on one time with teachers. Please feel free to reach out to any teacher that you want to talk with. You can call or email a teacher specifically requesting for time to talk or you can call the main office at 920.663.9570 and someone will direct you to your student's teacher.
Distribution Days
These distribution sessions will be utilized for students and parents to receive resources, supplies and materials needed to support learning. Your student should watch Google Classroom and their Gmail for communications from their teachers that will indicate if a pick-up time is needed. Thank you and we look forward to continuing to work with you as we support the educational journey of every student.
ATTENDANCE REMIDNER
In the full distance learning model, teachers will take all attendance . We are asking families to please still call the main office at 920.663.9570 to report the absence. This means if your student is not able to attend their Google Meets for any reason. Thank you for your support and help.

Counselor Corner
October is Bullying Prevention Month.
The best antidote for this is to encourage your child(ren) to be upstanders and say or do something when unkind things take place. Challenge yourself to speak out. Make kindness go viral and send any cool new random acts of kindness pictures to Ms Gleason at gleasonm@mpsd.school!
