THE FIRST DAY IS HERE!
Thank you for entrusting your child(ren) into our care this school year. We are humbled and blessed by the commitment of our families to a Christ-centered education. We can't wait to get started tomorrow!
CARPOOL TIPS
Morning and afternoon carpool the first few days of school is always busy! We ask for your patience and flexibility as we get started with dismissal routines.
 
Morning:
  • Drop-off begins at 7:20 a.m., and school starts at 7:50 a.m. (Early drop-off is at 7:00 a.m.)
  • Please drop-off at the same location in the mornings as your afternoon carpool pick-up. High school students may be dropped off at Dozier Hall or the Murray Arts Center.
  • If you have a preschooler and an older child, drop off at the preschool first, then drive over to the main entrance of the Mulkey Hall to drop your other student(s).
  • Feel free to walk your younger child(ren) in on the first day, but please drop-off in the car line going forward.
  • When you walk your child in, you are welcome to take photos at the MPCS photo booth outside the Hughes Gym doors in Mulkey Hall.
Afternoon:
  • Please do NOT arrive early for afternoon carpool; arrive within the pickup window on your carpool card.
  • Make sure your carpool number is visible.
  • High school students must independently go to their designated carpool location after their last class period. Whether or not they are joining a younger sibling, we advise you to arrive no earlier than 3:15 p.m. 

If you did not receive a carpool card packet with your vehicle decal, please email carpool@mtparanschool.com.

If you need to take advantage of our extended-day programs for grades PK-8, click here to sign up for Eagle Adventure Zone or The Zone after school.

Most importantly, we ask that you continue to cover our students and staff in prayer for a healthy and safe school year.
LATE-START WEDNESDAYS
Late-Start Wednesdays begin the school day at 8:35 a.m. instead of 7:50 a.m. on Wednesday mornings. This delayed start provides dedicated time for professional development of faculty and staff, multi-grade level teacher collaboration, and parent or student-led Bible studies.

Students may be dropped off during late-start Wednesday morning carpool from 8:15–8:35 a.m. The official school day will begin with the morning devotion and announcements at 8:35 a.m. Bus route pick-up times will remain the same every day.
