IMPORTANT: MPS SCHOOL CLOSURE INFORMATION
Parents and community members, I am canceling school and all after school activities for tomorrow (Wednesday 12/21) and Thursday 12/22 due to pervasive student and staff illness. With a significant percentage of our student body and teaching staff absent, the effectiveness of instruction and learning are now temporarily compromised and the health of our students and staff takes precedence at this point. We need to pause to give everyone the chance to get well and stay well. Neighboring districts report that they are experiencing similar illness issues with students and staff. The Drama Club Play will still be held tonight (12/20), but performances scheduled for Thursday are canceled and may be rescheduled at a later time. Athletic events and practices scheduled for 12/21 and 12/22 are also canceled and may be rescheduled at a later time. Our Custodians and Bus Drivers will be taking advantage of the closure to perform deep cleaning of touch points and surfaces in both buildings and on school buses. Please note that the vast majority of reported illnesses are either seasonal influenza A or the RSV virus. Please take care of your families, seek medical attention as needed and travel safely during this holiday season! Sincerely M. Travis, Superintendent.
