Dear MPS families,

 

It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through October. As a staff, we could not be happier with the way your children have adjusted to the new routines of this school year. As always, your support is greatly appreciated. 

 

There are a few things we wanted to inform you of as we move forward. First of all Halloween is just a few short weeks away. This is a favorite holiday of students and parents alike. Being that we are in a state of emergency in New Jersey we’ve had to rethink some of our holiday traditions. Though some things will look different, we do plan on celebrating Halloween at school on Friday, October 30th. Typically we encourage parents to come to our Halloween Parade which is followed by class parties. Due to the current circumstances we will not be able to invite parents to a parade or parties. 

 

Students may wear costumes to school on the 30th, but they will not have an opportunity to change out of their costumes as they usually do. Please consider this as you plan your student’s school costume. Please avoid sending students to school with props such as swords, capes, tails, or masks that may impede their ability to operate in their classrooms. We do ask that students continue to wear their PPE face masks as they normally would.

 

Finally, any snacks or goodie bags being sent in for classmates must be sent in a week prior to the celebration for quarantining. These snacks must also be individually prepackaged. Unfortunately, homemade goodies will not be permitted this year. Please contact your child’s homeroom teacher if you have any questions.

 

Sincerely,

Bob St. Laurent

Remote Back to School Night

Dear MPS Families,

 

It is hard to believe that we are already into October.  The staff and administration are committed to providing a safe learning environment during these uncertain times.  We had hoped to have Back to School Night as an in-person event on Thursday, October 8, 2020, but now we have decided that a remote event is best.  We have developed a schedule that reflects that of a regular evening. 

 

Each homeroom teacher will conduct two presentations to accommodate parents who have students in different grade levels. The first presentation will begin at 7:00 PM and the second will start at 7:30 PM. Our special area teachers will also be offering two presentations. The first specials presentation will begin at 7:30 and the second at 8:00. Homeroom teachers will provide you with all of the necessary google meet links next week. Links will also be posted on google classrooms.

 

Sincerely,

Rick Falkenstein and Bob St.Laurent
