New families should have received their login information via email from our Aspen team. Please check your email for your credentials. All families can contact aspen@mpsd.org if you have any questions accessing the parent portal.
PickUp Patrol (PUP)
GWS will continue to use the PickUp Patrol (PUP) App to help us better manage our dismissal process. PUP allows parents to electronically make daily dismissal changes from a computer or smart phone. Families that have not already registered will receive an email with login information.
Ice Cream
Ice cream will be available at lunch every Friday! To expedite the process, it would be very helpful if money is preloaded onto your child's School Bucks account rather than sending in cash. Check your account because several accounts have balances from last year. Siblings cannot share accounts so please be sure to preload each child's individual accounts.You can add money by clicking here. (After you log in or register (if new) than you can use your child’s Birthday for the ID Number to add your child’s account.)
If cash is sent in label the envelope with your child's name.
The cost is $1.50
