This Week at MHS

Congratulations to the MHS Ethics Bowl team for winning third in the state competition! We are so proud of you! If you were not able to attend the Orchestra Pops Concert last week - you missed some incredible talent on stage. Our students were impressive performing top Broadway hits!

Our basketball teams enter district competition this week. Come out and cheer on the Rebels! We host the district tournament so you may feel more traffic around town this week. Tonight our cheer team competes for nationals - they are in the top 8 right now, and tonight's performance will determine their national ranking. Go Rebels!

MHS is proud to partner with the PTSO members to support our students and faculty throughout the school year. The PTSO usually meets the first Wednesday of the month in the Greenhouse Conference Room at 12:30pm. This year PTSO will be holding two evening meetings as well. New members are always welcome!

Wednesday, April 3rd - 12:30pm

Wednesday, May 1st - 12:30pm

Check-outs should be held to a minimum and are limited to the following:

1. Emergency - Decision to be made by the principal or assistant principals.

2. Prior arrangement - If a written request is received by officials in the student services office prior to the beginning of the school day, the student will be dismissed at the requested time. The checkout note must include the student’s full name, date, time of dismissal, phone number where parent/guardian can be reached for verification, and signature of the parent/guardian.

3. The parent/guardian comes to the main entrance office to sign the student out.

Students who become sick during the school day must report to the assistant principal’s office/school nurse before they call home. The assistant principal’s office will assist the student and permit the student to call home. The student will remain in the assistant principal’s office or with the school nurse until he/she receives permission to go home or until he/she is picked up by a parent/guardian.

Students are allowed to check out during third block only for medical or legal purposes, and proper documentation must be provided. Students are not allowed to check out to retrieve items needed for school. Leaving school without permission will result in disciplinary action.

Students checking out of school on an altered schedule day will receive an unexcused absence unless the school is provided the appropriate legal or medical documentation.
