Aspen Parent Portal
The Parent Portal will open on Friday afternoon August 19th. Families will see classroom assignment and bus number for the upcoming school year.
New families received their login information the first week of August via email from our Aspen team. Please check your email for your credentials. All families can contact aspen@mpsd.org if you have any questions accessing the parent portal.
**Extremely Important: Please complete the Student Workflow and Parent Workflow before the start of the school year as this is how we reach you in an emergency.**
Transportation/Bus Routes
Please click here to complete a short form to document your child's permanent daily dismissal plans. It is important to complete the form by Monday, August 22.
Bus Routes will be posted to the mpsd.org website within the next two weeks.
PickUp Patrol (PUP)
GWS will continue to use the web based application called PickUp Patrol (PUP) to help us better manage our dismissal process. PUP allows parents to electronically make daily dismissal changes from a computer or smart phone. Families that have not already registered will receive an email next week from PUP with a registration link
School Supplies
School Lunch
While all meals will continue to be free for all students this year, we are asking that all families who believe they will qualify for free and reduced lunch fill out the form linked here. Filling out this form may qualify your family for additional benefits.
