Dear Parents/Guardians:
We are now completing two full weeks since we were able to return to a hybrid schedule with our Purple and Gold Day students coming in for in person instruction two to three days a week. Our students have been great and a building with students is far more enjoyable than one without. We want them in school; however, we need your help. Many of our students are arriving for in person instruction each day without the online Covid-19 Questionnaire being completed. This results in the school staff having to stop the student from attending class, then reaching out to the parent to ensure there are no concerns the school needs to address. The completion of this form protects all of our children as well as our staff.
As a district, we have decided that the importance of the daily Covid-19 Questionnaire completion cannot be overstated; thus, we will be imposing the following to all in person students as of Monday, March 15, 2021:
Any day a student is scheduled for in person instruction, a Covid-19 Questionnaire must be completed. If there are three occurrences of the form not being completed, we will be forced to place the student on Virtual/Remote only instruction for the remainder of the school year.
If you have any questions, please contact the school.
Sincerely,
Dr. McCabe

Dear Parents/Guardians: As we prepare for Monday, I want to ensure all parents are aware of the following:
*Your child's status, Purple, Gold, or Virtual, is listed in Genesis and based on his/her placement from November.
*If you would like a change from that, you need to email your child's guidance counselor and you will receive a
reply in one business day as to whether or not the school can accommodate your request.
*If you wish to keep your child out of school and he/she was assigned to a Purple or Gold Day, that is fine; we
ask that you email the school. However, we cannot promise to hold the spot open and you will need to email
guidance if you wish to have your child receive in person (hybrid) instruction in the future.
Please contact the school if you have any questions.
Thank you,

Dear Parents/Guardians, Important happenings at the MHS: (Week of 2/22/2021)
As you are aware, we will return to in person (hybrid) instruction on Monday, 3/1/2021. We will continue to follow the schedule that has been in place since the fall, see below.The below schedule will be used by all students, virtual/remote and in person.
Arrival 8:05 am to 8:13 am report to homeroom/period 1
Period 1 8:13 - 8:48 am
Period 2 8:50 - 9:25 am
Period 3 9:27 - 10:02 am
Period 4 10-04 - 10:39 am
Period 5 10:41 - 11:16 am
Period 6 11:18 - 11:53 am
Period 7 11:55 - 12:30 pm
Period 8 12:32 - 1:07 pm
Student Support 1:30 - 2:18 pm
Monday, 3/1/2021, will be a Purple Day and the first day of in person instruction for all school students who will attend on Purple Days. Important: please see my brief presentation about student arrival! Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1V7mMuu2JOUxYqjySFauxAgpgiSMgHvDR16qrBxzRMoI/edit?usp=sharing
Here is an outline of the arrival plan.
*Middle School students should be dropped off by the middle school entrance and then walk to the auditorium entrance.
*High School students should be dropped off by the doors by our nurse’s office and enter the school there.
*All students will be directed to the gymnasium for check in.
Students should arrive at 8:05 am, no earlier. Students should line up wearing masks and remain socially distant. There are marks on the ground by each door for students to line up on to ensure proper social distancing.
Covid Questionnaires: these must be completed each day by parents using the Parent Portal. They can be completed very early in the morning; the form becomes available at midnight each day. Please complete before 7:30 am so our nurse has ample time to review them. Not doing so will result in a reminder notification going to your email and presents quite a challenge for our staff as we prepare each day. We will also not allow in-person students access to class until it is completed.
Masks: all students must wear a mask covering the mouth and nose at all times. I recommend each student bring two extra masks in case one gets dirty, ripped or wet.Devices: any electronic devices being brought to the school should be charged at home.
Parents Submitting Photos for the Yearbook: we have requested photos you might want to share from this year and some of you might have photos that were taken professionally and you will request to be in our yearbook. Please know we need all submissions by 3/12/2021. Anything submitted after that may not make it to the yearbook due to our production and submission deadlines with the yearbook company.6th and 7th grade
Photos - for those who scheduled photos for their 6th or 7th grader on Monday or Tuesday of this week, please ensure he/she arrives on time, wears a mask, and has had the Covid questionnaire completed.
Athlete Covid Testing: Please know there is no out-of-pocket fee. The lab does charge the insurance, however, if the insurance does not cover the claim, then they charge it to the Cares Act Funding. The social security is only needed if the individual does not have insurance. If they do, then you can enter nine 9s in the SS field. Again, there are no co-pays, or balance billing. Some insurance companies send a check directly to the customer. If this happens, then the check should be sent to the lab.
Spring Athletics: The spring registration portal is now open!!!
To be eligible, students must:
*Complete and submit an online registration for spring athletics.
*Have a valid sports physical on file with Nurse Housman. (Note: Sport physicals need to be approved by our school physician once submitted.)
*Complete and submit a COVID-19 Health History Update Form to Nurse Housman.
*Be and remain in good academic and behavioral standing.
*Early submission is highly recommended to allow for adequate processing time. If you have any questions regarding the above criteria, p

Dear Parents/Guardians:
On Monday, March 1, 2021, we will return to in person (hybrid) instruction.
We are excited to welcome the students back and hope we can finish the rest of the year in the building. We will be following the same entrance procedures, safety precautions, and schedule, Purple Days and Gold Days, as we did in the fall.
If you are uncertain as to the schedule your child has, simply log into Parent Access. Once in Parent Access, click on the tab "Student Data''. Once there, click on the tab "Summary." There you will see your child's information on the left. You will see one of three options below with a check mark:
Purple Day A in Person (Students attending on Purple Days will always go on Mondays and Wednesdays.)
Gold Day B in Person (Students attending on Gold Days will always go on Tuesdays and Thursdays.)
Virtual/Remote Learning from Home Only (Students will remain Virtual/Remote.)
Note: The Friday of each week will alternate with the first Friday, 3/5/2021, being Purple, the second Gold, etc. I have attached a calendar for March with the Purple and Gold Days outlined.
If you wish to request a change to your child's status, you are asked to email your child's guidance counselor. An example of a request to change would be if a child was Virtual/Remote Learning from Home Only and the parent wished he/she to have a hybrid schedule. Parent requests will be addressed on a case by case basis.
Thank you,
Dr. McCabe
