November 2021 News and Important Dates to Remember
MPA November News:
Fall and Thanksgiving blessings are in the air and this month "grateful" is the theme/character trait of the month.
Please remind your child to leave all Halloween candy at home. Candy brought to school will be held by the teacher or office until the end of the school day.
The Center for Cultural Awareness will continue stopping by for weekly classroom visits. The students have enjoyed having social and academic support from this team!
Please wish Ms. Collier, our fabulous school counselor, best wishes as she goes on maternity leave on November 4th. We are excited for the debut of little Baby Collier!
Please welcome new Instructional Aides, Ms. Reyolds, Ms. Bobbi, and Ms. King to our MPA family. They are excited and eager to help our students learn and grow!
Dress Code: We understand that finding school uniforms during the pandemic has been tough, however, students coming to school in leggings, ripped jeans, crop tops, etc. will be in violation of the dress code policy and discipline action will be taken. Please send your student to school in clothing that is school appropriate and as close to uniform as possible.

Absences and Student Work
Please contact our office if your child is absent due to illness, quarantine, or other reasons. Our general process is only sending work home if your child is going to be out more than two days, but with some students out for longer, please let us know and we will get work packets ready to be picked up in the school office. We are not offering the virtual option at this time, but work packets are expected to be completed and returned for attendance and academic credit. Please provide a doctor's note or documentation regarding school absences to the school office.
