A Message from Mrs. Gioe

In a few short weeks MBS will host its annual Open House for the families of prospective students. Research shows that the most effective form of advertising for schools is parent satisfaction that is personally shared with friends, family, colleagues and co-workers – so as your principal, I am asking for your help. Please  invite three people to attend our Open House and share with each of them at least three things that you love about our school.

Office of Child Protection

According to policy mandated by the Diocese of Baton Rouge, all school volunteers must complete a mandatory background check and child protection training.  Please note that MBS School child protection requirements are not the same as MBS Parish . Therefore if you are compliant for the Parish, you are not automatically compliant for the School . Many files have been archived due to inactivity, and/or files not being updated. Call Mrs. Landry at 225-753-5526 or email  childprotection@mbsbr.org   for assistance.
