Anwatin Families, it's time to choose your high school for next year!

By now, you should have received notice from MPS where your 8th grader will go to high school next year. Below is the flyer (available in English, Spanish, and Somali) with open house dates for those schools! Most, if not all, schools are holding a virtual q&a that you are invited to attend to learn more!

If you would like to request a different school other than the one MPS has selected for you, you will need to fill out the request form here: https://exploremps.org/

The deadline is February 7th, 2021, so please do not wait!

Any questions? Please contact Ms. Aja, the school counselor (all contact info is above)
