Hi All,
As we head off for vacation at the end of the school day tomorrow, I want to bring a few items to your attention, including All Night Party committee sign ups, how to read PSAT score results, and a request regarding drop off procedures- please find all of the details in the rest of the newsletter below.
Offices at MHS will be open to the public on Monday, December 23rd from 8AM-2PM, and again, on Tuesday, December 31st from 8AM-12noon. Offices are closed to the public from December 24th through December 30th.
Beyond that, I wish you all a joyous holiday season with friends and family! We return to school on Thursday, January 2nd.

PSAT Score Results
PSAT Score Reports were distributed to students who took the PSAT this past October in homeroom on Wednesday afternoon. Below, you will find a video presentation on how to access your College Board accounts and how to interpret PSAT scores. The video will also provide you with information on the National Merit Scholarship Corporation.
Please click here to watch the PSAT Presentation. If you have any questions, please reach out to your counselor.
Thank you!

Drop Off Procedures
We have observed parents/guardians stopping short near the the side walk to drop students off for convenience, rather than pulling all the way around to Door T; this practice is causing additional traffic jams on East Street.
Thank you for attention and cooperation so that we can keep the traffic flowing for everyone!

Update to Building Supervision Hours- Cold Weather
In order to better ensure the safety of all students and staff by more closely regulating who accesses the building before and after school hours, school-wide building supervision for students will begin promptly at 7AM and end at 3PM.
Please provision for your child to arrive at school no earlier than 7AM since they will not have access to the building. Students walking to school or being dropped off who may need to wait a few minutes prior to the doors opening should dress appropriately for cold weather.
Thank you for observing these hours as we work to reduce risk and increase safety for all.
