IT'S HERE! The first day of the 2024-2025 school year! The big yellow buses are going to be back on the roads.
I had the pleasure of visiting with a gentleman with roots in Odessa, Tx. I sent him these pictures of the drink specials from the Dairy Dream to see if he recalled anything about the Beyer CO, the trademark for the signs. Come to find out, he worked at a diner in the 1950's and made all these drinks! He said it was a great job, they worked very hard but could eat all they wanted! The address on these signs was the address of his employer. Wonderful, small world!
Traffic patterns for drop off.
Please allow extra time and go slow. Watch for students and remember all school zones are PHONE FREE.
Starting back to school on a staggered start date schedule gives teachers a chance to work with students in smaller groups and add extra staffing support to teach and train new procedures and routines.
ROOMS: Stay Connected with MPS Teachers & Coaches Parents/Guardians - ROOMS will become the primary platform of communication for teachers when they need to contact you. Please make sure you have joined ROOMS. More information will be made available as we get the new year underway.
It is First Day of School Eve for 2024-2025! We are excited to get this year started and to witness the growth and success that your student will experience in the classroom, out of the classroom, on the field, on the court, and in everything they do!
It is a great year to be a DRAGON!
IT IS HERE! The First Day of School Eve Dragon Weekly! Lots of information available for parents/guardians/students. Please Note: Athletes need to have DragonFly completed ASAP; 24-25 Picture Dates are linked at the bottom of the Dragon Weekly, and so much more!
It is going to be a great year! https://secure.smore.com/n/yupzd
"The most impactful people on the planet are in the room." -Steve Roberts
This week Dragon faculty and staff trained and prepped. Study included R Factor, behavior solutions, seizure safety, health reviews, curriculum work, district and school progress and next steps. DRAGONS are ready to learn and lead in their own 20 square feet, and move each team's work forward!
