Schoolwide Testing February 26 |
|
|
|
In anticipation of returning to on-campus teaching and learning on Monday, March 1, we once again welcome the Onondaga County Health Department to campus on Friday, February 26, to administer COVID-19 tests to100% of our students and employees, including employees who have been vaccinated since it remains unclear whether vaccinated people can carry the virus to others. Distance-learning classes will be suspended on Friday to allow for this community-wide testing. The benefits of having a baseline understanding of the health of 100% of our community, before we return to campus, cannot be overstated. Therefore, we urge every student and employee to take advantage of this opportunity. Please monitor your inbox, as we will be sending specific registration instructions via email early next week. If you have any questions or concerns, please direct them to COVIDNurse@mphschool.org.

Important Message from the Middle and Upper School Office

Dear Families,
We hope that you had an enjoyable winter break with ample time to rest and rejuvenate. As we transition back to classes, we wanted to remind you that we will be in a distance-learning format next week with no classes on Friday, so the School can perform COVID-19 testing on students and employees. To ensure that every class meets twice, Thursday’s classes will take place on Wednesday, and Friday’s classes will take place on Thursday. Next week’s schedule can be found on the My MPH site, or by clicking on the following links.
If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We look forward to seeing the students soon!
Matt and Fred

Trojans Earn Victory in First Game
Varsity Basketball players were eager for their first game against Fabius-Pompey Monday afternoon. And, thanks to the good work of Coach Jim Ryan and members of the Pandemic Response Team, a plan was in place and executed to make sure the game was played safely! As part of the Onondaga High School League, MPH and our opponents test all student-athletes, coaches, and officials for COVID-19 on a weekly basis and before every game. We are happy that none of our students or adults have tested positive, and we are proud of their adherence to our health protocols as they represent MPH in the wider community. Congrats on your 46-35 victory, team, and go Trojans!

Winter Festival Fun!
The cold weather didn't stop our Upper Schoolers from fully embracing the spirit of the Winter Festival last Friday. Outdoor relays, soccer, body sledding, and kickball were just a few of the students' favorite activities. Take a look at some photos and videos by clicking on the image on the left.
