From the Principal's Desk
Dr. Larry Savage, Principal
We are at the time of year when we begin forming draft class lists for next school year. As such, we would like to give you an optional opportunity to give us input as we work towards finalizing lists in August. As such, please click the link below for further information regarding the class assignment process and to access a form to give us your input. If you choose to complete a form, please submit one copy for each child attending our school. I am also sharing the link with a letter describing the assignment process.

Summer/Fall Opportunities
Margaret Pollard Middle School:
Dear Rising Mustangs,
We are looking forward to next year and having you be a part of our school. During normal times, we would have a day where our 5th graders come to MBP and tour our halls, meet our teachers, and learn all about our school. We also would have a parent night where we share important information about MBP.
Unfortunately, we are unable to hold open houses this spring. We do, however, want to make the student and family transition into middle school as smooth as possible. Coming soon, we will be sending home a presentation that includes a tour of our school, important information such as classes and electives, different clubs and activities, etc.
We look forward to meeting you soon!
