Coming up in November, we want to send each staff member home with a full pie for the Thanksgiving holiday. Be on the lookout for the sign up sheet.

LUNCH for In-Person Students

LUNCH for In-Person Students

Due to COIVD 19, we are not able to put out our utensil dispensers in the cafeteria during lunches. If you pack a lunch for your child, it would be helpful to pack utensils for them. We do have sporks available in the serving lines.


Additionally, be sure to send your child with a clearly labeled water bottle. Due to COVID 19, our water fountains are out of service. We do; however, have a water bottle filler for students in the cafeteria and the 6th grade gym.

Attendance for Virtual Students

In order to take accurate attendance each day for our Virtual students, we have added to each Teacher's Canvas page an attendance button (shown below).


Students MUST click the attendance button each day and submit the form to be marked RA (remote asynchronous) or RS (remote synchronous). This simple action does NOT mean any work has been completed, it simply means the student is not marked absent.


Students who fail to click the button and SUBMIT the form EACH DAY

will be marked ABSENT.

Attendance for In-Person Students

In-Person students not in attendance will be marked ABSENT. Students must turn in documentation related to the absence (parent note, medical note, etc.) upon returning to school. Once a note is received, these absences are considered documented.


As undocumented absences accrue, letters are generated for 3 undocumented absences, 6 undocumented absences, and 9 undocumented absences. After the 9-day letter, an MISD truancy officer becomes involved.
