PTO Holiday Shop and Vendor is Tomorrow!
On Saturday, November 17th, the MPCS PTO will host its annual Holiday Shop and Vendor Fair at Cougar Elementary. Students will have the opportunity to shop at the kid-friendly Holiday Shop (with the help of our volunteers) to browse and purchase holiday gift items for their family and friends. Over 100 items will be available with prices ranging from $0.25 - $11.00. All gifts will be wrapped and ready for gift giving! There will also be a variety of crafters and vendors set up for the whole family to shop. The hours for the Holiday Shop and Vendor Fair are 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. We hope to see you there!
The Family Market has been rescheduled for Monday, November 19th at 4:00 p.m. at MPHS.

2019-2020 School Year Survey - Last Day to Participate!
Below you will find a link to a survey regarding the development of 2019/20 academic school year calendar. It contains nine questions and is expected to take less than two minutes to complete. Your feedback may be used to make adjustments to two models that are currently in development. Both models will be presented to the School Board at their December 2nd work session. We will be seeking an approved academic calendar at the December 17th school board meeting. The survey will be open until Friday November 16, 2018.

November is National Career Development Month. On Wednesday, MPES teachers and staff members wore a shirt from their Alma Mater. Teachers and staff members were also encouraged to share their educational and career journey with their classes. It is never too early for students to start thinking about their future!
