SPC Shelbi Keller came to visit with the Juniors this morning about expenses after high school. She also talked about the ASVAB test which our Juniors will be taking tomorrow morning. Her talk today was very eye opening on expenses with needs and wants.
In an effort to minimize the increasing illness in our schools, starting Tuesday, September 7th, MPCG Schools will implement Stay Home/ Go Home, or Mask Up/Test Out Illness Guidelines. MPCG strongly encourages students with any symptoms to stay home until they are free of symptoms. If students become sick while at school, they will either go home, mask up or test out. See September 3rd morning announcements for more information. We also encourage all students and staff to wear masks, however this is not a mandate. Thank you for helping us keep healthy kids in school.

Parents and students in Grades 6-12, a few reminders! Tomorrow, Aug 17th, is our schedule and technology pick-up date, as well as our Back to School Picnic! Grade 6 will have their technology pick-up from 9:30am-12:30pm, and grades 7-12 will have their technology pick-up from 1:30pm-4:30pm. At 5:00pm we will introduce the MS and HS staff in the gym, followed by the Welcome Back Picnic and school open house.

Please contact the HS office with any questions!
New this year, all forms required for the district are online. This includes student registration updates (i.e. address change, contact information, health updates, etc.) as well as forms that require a parent signature, such as the Student Handbook and Technology Agreement. This is currently only being completed for students in grades 6-12. Please take time in the next few days to log on to your PowerSchool parent portal, click on Forms on the left hand side, and complete all forms assigned to you. Forms cannot be completed through the app, and need to be done through a web browser. This is required, and students will not be able to pick up their Chromebooks on Tuesday without this being completed. As a reminder, all Parent PowerSchool access codes and log in information was included in the red folder you received last year. Thank you! https://mayville.ps.state.nd.us/public/home.html
