• Bathrooms outside are off limits. Students should use the bathrooms in the MS.

• Students are now welcome to use the MS Commons (steps and open space only) during recess time to work, relax, or play ping pong, board games, or the piano. 

• Students are not allowed to be upstairs in the MS, including the bathrooms, or behind the steps. 

Taking Care of our MS 🧹

• Clean up after yourselves, especially during snack time, with crumbs and wrappers. If you see something on the floor, pick it up, even if it’s not yours.

• Push in chairs in our common spaces.
