Welcome to the Weekly Update!
MPHS Senior Night: Thursday, October 18, at 6:30 PM in the Manassas Park Middle School Auditorium. A senior calendar will be shared and a representative from Josten's will be on hand to discuss the cap and gown ordering process. We hope to see you there!
Free & Reduced Breakfast/Lunch Forms
If you have not completed your application for free or reduced lunch and are still interested in doing so, this is a reminder to do so as soon as possible. Families must complete a new form each year. If you have children in multiple schools, only ONE form needs to be done. If approved, this also includes free or reduced breakfast!
