MGS Parents who drive their kids to school: I know you're ready for student drop off and (maybe) pickup tomorrow!! Reminder, use Madison Street if you want to drop off your child without getting out of the car. Use the main lot only if you want to park and walk your child to/from the doors. See you tomorrow!

K Kickoff Invite!!!

Hello K Parents!!

The PTO would like to remind you of the K Kickoff Social this Sunday from 3:30PM-5PM. Due to the wet weather this past week and chances of rain Sunday this event will be moved INDOORS. Please enter through the double red doors and proceed to the Frisk gym just to the right of the foyer.

PTO will have some games, a coloring station, and a small treat. This is a fun, casual way to ease into the school year and meet some kindergarten classmates!

Thank you,
MGS PTO

"Rooms" will not be available as a school-home communication tool this year. Consistent communication regarding your child and MGS will continue, but via a different method. Classroom teachers will select their preferred parent communication tool and communicate with parents accordingly. We attempted a streamlined, district-wide effort but it was not the right fit at this time for MGS. Thank you for those who provided feedback on the tool and for your understanding.
