Weekly Update

We all know that parking around MP is tricky during arrival and dismissal. Most schools share this challenge. In an effort to be helpful, I'm sharing the fine schedule below for parking in No Parking zones.

Sec. 12 – Obedience to Traffic Control Devices ($90 fine)

Sec. 85 – Stopping, Standing, or Parking Prohibited; Specified Places ($20 fine)

Sec. 94 – Parking Adjacent to Schools; Signs ($20 fine)

All violations come with $40 court costs as well.

MP will be celebrating Halloween on Thursday, October 31.

Please make note of specifics below.

9:15 AM, Costume Parade
- Students are to wear costumes to school that day.
- Parents should send in a bag for costume storage if student prefers.
- Parade will take place outside, so parents may see our little goblins by standing in front and side parking lots.
- If weather does not cooperate, the parade will take place indoors with students only.

3:20 PM, Classroom Parties
- PTO will communicate with those coming in to facilitate games.
- Those supplying approved snacks may send those in with students on that Friday before.
- Party snacks will be enjoyed during the school day during regular snack time.
- Due to food sensitivities, no additional snacks will be distributed.

Costume Guidance
Please avoid the following:
- Full costume face masks. We must see student and adult faces.
- Extra accessories that may become distractions during the school day.
- Face painting, as that is tough for a student to wear all day.
- Anything scary or gruesome. That includes cartoon characters that send a negative or violent message.
- Play weapons or sharp objects.

Costumes should be easy enough for a student to manipulate independently and allow them to sit at student desks for learning activities.

We are happy to welcome families in to share lunch with their Timberwolves after Labor Day.

We're a big school, so need to implement a few guidelines in order to make this happen.

Guidelines:

- Prior sign-up is required.

- Each slot covers two guests.

- Upon arrival, office staff will check for your sign-up.

- If you did not sign up online for that day, plan to reschedule for a different day.

- Lunch will take place in the cafeteria, as we don't have other available spaces.

- You may bring lunch in for your student, but may NOT share food with other students.

- If you'd like to purchase a school lunch, contact our front office by 9:15 AM to order.

- Payment is not accepted on site, so be sure to have enough $$ on your child's meal account to cover.
