Register your child(ren) for 25-26 through the Synergy Parent VUE Website: ParentVUE/StudentVUE

Technology
If your child(ren) went to summer school, please return their iPad and charger to school as soon as possible to the front office! This helps us get them turned over for the 25-26 school year.
3-5 Students ONLY:
Accidents happen! 3-5 students can pay a Cooperative Loss Agreement (like insurance) for their iPad. Please know if you indicate "No" any damages that may occur will be at full price. All MPS Tech Documents & Information can be found here.
Cooperative Loss fee can be paid online in Synergy Parent VUE. This fee does not carry over from year to year. It is strongly suggested that families consider paying the fee.

Health Information
The health room is ready for student medications. Please bring them to Open House, if possible! You will have a form to fill out for each medication at school.
If your child has a major health concern, a medical meeting will be set up at the beginning of the year to review with your child's team. Teachers additionally review student health plans before the start of the school year. If you have any concerns to share, please do so before the first day of school!

Review Car Line Procedures & Safety
CAR LINE SAFETY
At school, we put many things in place to protect all children. Please respect our students and their safety by following the speed limit, adhering to our parking lot procedures, staying off your phone, and demonstrating patience at all times.
All students need to enter and exit alongside a curb.
Do not exit your vehicle to help your child out of the vehicle, or in the vehicle, unless you're parked in a designated area.
If there is room in front of your vehicle, please pull forward.
Many families also have a plan for a meeting spot after school. We encourage you to practice this before the first day of school! We know you always plan to be there, but sometimes things come up. It's also important to discuss with your child what happens if you're not there - and what they should do!
