Principal's Message
Dear Cougar Community,
I would like to remind parents that you have access to student data through PowerSchool. Progress Report information for the third quarter (up to Friday, March 13th) can also be found here. Additionally, the contact information currently in our records can be viewed through this portal by clicking on the Swift K-12 link on the left hand side of the screen. Next, click on the Contact Information link to view your information on file. If you are not receiving at least two communications from the school each week, please check your junk email or make sure that the email address provided to the school is correct. Please email me at ann.gwynn@mpark.net if any contact information needs to be updated. More information can be found here.
Please keep the pictures coming! Please send pictures to: ann.gwynn@mpark.net.
I miss seeing everyone everyday!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gwynn

Field Trip Money Information
All field trip money paid for trips that did not take place due to the school closure will automatically be carried over in students’ accounts to be used for future field trips in the 2020-2021 school year. If you would like to request a refund, please contact your child’s principal. This will begin the process of refunding field trip payments. Please understand that refunds, once requested, may take some time to process due to limited processing capabilities during the shutdown.
Kindergarten Registration
Food Service Program on Tuesdays at 4:00
The MPCS School Nutrition Program will continue to provide prepackaged grab-and-go meals at no charge to all children ages 18 and under. Participants should enter the Manassas Park High School lower lot.
Sets of five prepackaged breakfasts and lunches will be provided. All meals will be the same regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability, and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service.
Please note that all children must be present in order to receive the meals. The Virginia Department of Education has granted MPCS permission to waive this requirement for the parents of children with physical limitations and/or immunocompromised systems. If you need to pick up meals for your child without their presence, email deanne.perez@mpark.net.
Volunteers will continue to mark cars with the number of meals requested. If at all possible, please leave the number on your windshield to expedite this process at next week’s market. Safe social distancing practices will remain in effect. As the market and meal distributions will be set up as a grab-and-go, attendees should follow volunteer direction to ensure safe vehicle traffic and open vehicle trunks for expedited delivery.
