Fall Fun Day - October 31st
Mt. Pleasant Public Schools will be focusing on Fall themes for our classroom parties and events! This is in effort to make sure ALL students can economically participate. In light of this, we will not have costumes at school during the day.
Instead, students can wear something they already have that may fit Fall attire; flannels, plaid, sweaters, cozy hats, or colors of red, orange, yellow, green etc.)
Fancher Elementary will continue their fall tradition of taking students to Celebration Cinemas for the Flick Family Festival. This is to celebrate students hard work on fall assessments and their wonderful efforts in selling Fancher Cards. Each student will get a popcorn & drink at the theater. This is FREE for our students thanks to PTO.
As we get closer, check out your teachers' classroom letter with how you can support with any items or volunteering if it is needed.
Our community also always offers the following evening events for those that want to participate:

Daily our students earning Dojo Points for meeting positive expectations, we recognize students who are SOARing with our Positive Office Referrals, Positive Postcards mailed home, and SOAR Student Shout Outs each month.
We know our students are still growing and developing mentally and socially, so we recognize it is always a work in progress when teaching and reteaching expectations. We utilize restorative practices - including repairing the harm, circle ups, and more.

For safety reasons, families will receive a phone call by 10:40 am for any student that is marked as Absent each morning in Power School. You can deter getting that call from our system by calling us in the morning to let us know of your child's absence and their reason for the absence.
Our codes we use for absences are:
UA-Unexcused Absence
Any absence that has not been reported by a parent or guardian and/or any absence that is not listed as an Excused Absence in Board Policy.
AV-Verified Absence
An absence that the parent verifies or explains. Example: (1) The student doesn’t feel well, and is staying home, but is not visiting the doctor. (2) The family is taking an extra long weekend, vacation, etc.
EA-Excused Absence
Absences that meet the definition of an Excused Absence based on MPPS Board Policy.
