As we continue to work together to ensure our students’ success, I am filled with pride as I reflect on the partnerships we have cultivated within our community. One such partnership that brings us great joy is with the Herbie Hancock Institute for Music Education. This collaboration helps provide our students with an enriching music education that enhances their creativity, discipline, and passion for learning. We are proud to see the impact it is having on our students and are excited to continue this journey together.
We also have had three of schools be recently recognized as International Baccalaureate schools. As IB schools, these campuses are now part of a global network focused on providing an academically challenging, internationally-minded education that prepares students for success in today’s interconnected world.
As we get closer to the Alabama Comprehensive Assessment Program testing, now is a great time to help your child feel prepared and confident! You can help them by establishing consistent routines, creating a quiet study space, and encouraging positive thinking. A good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast can also make all the difference. Together, we can ensure that every student feels prepared and confident to do their best.
Spring Break is just around the corner, from March 17th to March 21st! While this is a time to recharge and relax, many of our amazing community partners, like the River Region YMCA, are hosting Spring Break camps to keep your child engaged, active, and learning. These programs offer great opportunities to stay productive while having fun!
March also marks Read Across America Month, a wonderful opportunity to foster a love for reading in our children. Whether it’s reading together at home, visiting the local library, or participating in school activities, let’s celebrate this month by encouraging our children to read and explore new worlds through books.
Lastly, I want to remind everyone how important attendance is. We encourage our students to show up ready to learn and grow each day. Every class, every lesson, and every moment matters. Your child’s consistent attendance contributes to their success, and we are committed to providing them with the tools and support they need to thrive. Remember, #EverydayCountsWithMPS!
I am so grateful to be part of this incredible community. Together, we are helping our children become tomorrow’s leaders. Thank you for your commitment to their success!
