Fall Harvest from School Garden!

Our students did an awesome job of harvesting sweet potatoes from the school garden! We thank Ms. Brown for guiding this activity.

Checking Your Student’s Progress in Schoology

Today marks the mid-point of the 2nd Quarter. This year, Progress Reports will not be mailed home, unless the student currently has a D or F in a course. Parents can check their student’s progress in Schoology. Last night, Ms. Goetz hosted a meeting explaining how parents can use Schoology to check their student’s grades. You can view the recording of the meeting or download a pdf of instructions from the District. (You must sign into an MNPS account to view the pdf.) You can also watch the district’s video called “Staying Informed: Checking Your Student’s Progress in Schoology.”

The MNPS Virtual Afterschool Clubs are free and voluntary classes that children and teens can take to learn a wide variety of standards and skills. They are designed to be enriching and fun, and they range from reading to coding to preparing a child for college to learning sign language. Participants can join at any time and access as many clubs as they wish daily.
