As we look ahead to the upcoming school year, we must make some important decisions about what school will look like and how our students will experience learning. We understand that this is a fluid and ever-changing situation and we are approaching this work thoughtfully, collaboratively, and with an enormous sense of responsibility. We want to ensure you that MPS remains committed to the health and safety of our students and employees and the consistent delivery of a high-quality educational experience for all students. Work groups comprised of parents, teachers, principals, students, and Central Services staff have been created to address different facets of the reopening plan.
