Due to the lack of bus drivers available, MPS will NOT be running the after school shuttle bus either direction on the following dates: September 10th, 21st, 24th, and 28th. We ask that parents make alternate transportation plans if your child typically rides the shuttle bus after school. Please communicate your child's alternate plans with the respective school office. Thank you.

🎉 Kindergarten Conversation Bingo! 🎉
Our Kindergarten Jump Start days were filled with smiles, new friendships, and exciting first experiences!
Sometimes when you ask, "What did you do today?" the answer is simply, "I don't know." That's why we've created this Kindergarten Conversation Bingo to help spark fun conversations at home!
Use the bingo card to talk with your child about everything they experienced during Jump Start. From meeting classmates and exploring their classroom to learning new routines, each square is a fun way to help them share what they're looking forward to as the first day of school gets closer.
We hope you enjoy hearing all about your kindergartener's adventures. We're excited to welcome everyone back for the first day of school next week! 🍎📚✨
