Principal's Message
Dear Cougar Community,
On Monday, January 11, the Manassas Park City School Board voted to delay the rollout to a hybrid model of teaching and learning. They will be reassessing the conditions and will discuss the matter at the next regularly-scheduled Board meeting on January 25. If conditions are favorable for a return to an in-person, hybrid model, new reopening dates will be proposed.
Next week is The Great Kindness Challenged arranged by our wonderful counselors in conjunction with the MPE counselors. Please take a few moments to look over the spirit days for next week! I look forward to many great pictures of our students dressed for spirit!
The kindergarten team looks forward to seeing parents and students on Monday Night for Distribution Night! Writing Benchmarks can be dropped off during this time as well.
Writing Benchmarks can be dropped off at school daily from 8 to 5 and at the MP Community Center at the front desk from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM daily.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gwynn

Meals are limited to one set of meals per child, per week.
Proof of enrollment, or bringing a child(ren) to pick up, is required for parents to pick up meals. Proof of enrollment can include a student ID card, report card, or any other school communication containing the students name(s). If you need assistance with providing proof, the food services department can make an ID badge which you can use for future visits.
If your children are not school aged, our food services team will work with you to provide a proof should you wish to pick up without children in the future. Please talk to them during the pick-up time slots noted above.
