HEALTHY KIDS, HEALTHY SCHOOL
Information about health and safety protocols, including what to do in the event your child may be sick, can be found under the "Healthy Kids, Healthy School" drop-down on Eagle Links.
Any student who is absent from school must have a Student Absence Form completed each morning the day they are to miss school, whether for illness or a planned absence, such as college tours.

TOUCH OF SAGE DINING APP
We are blessed to enjoy community and fellowship daily during lunch. Take a few minutes to download the Touch of SAGE app to your phone so that you can provide feedback on menu items and encourage repeats of favorite dishes. SAGE promptly responds, and it helps in menu planning.

BEFORE SCHOOL AND EXTENDED DAY |
MPCS is proud to offer a wide variety of activities for students to get involved before and after the regular school day. Our extracurricular programs include complimentary Early Care (PK-Grade 5 arrivals 7:00-7:20 a.m.), Eagle Adventure Zone (EAZ) extended-day care, The Zone for middle schoolers, clubs, grades K-5 tutoring options, and Summer Programs. Click here for full details on all options.
EARLY CARE (Preschool/TK-Grade 5)
A complimentary early care supervision option is available to preschool and lower school students. Parents who need to utilize early care for their child may drop off at 7:00 a.m. in the Sewell Cottage (preschool) or the Mulkey Hall main office (lower school). This session is provided on all regular school days but does not include breakfast. Students are escorted to their classroom at 7:20 a.m.
EAZ EXTENDED DAY (Preschool/TK-Grade 5)
EAZ extended-day care offers a fun place to play, complete homework, and participate in educational activities until 6:00 p.m. If your child is enrolled in after-school activities such as ballet, chess, clubs, etc. on campus, EAZ instructors will get him/her to the activity for you. Annual registration for EAZ is completed during enrollment, and parents may take advantage of the $25 drop-in option with 24-hour notice online registration. Click here for full details about Eagle Adventure Zone.
THE ZONE (Middle School)
The Zone is a structured student-centered option for parents who need the convenience of a later pickup time. Activities include outside recess or planned physical activity, snack break (snack provided), homework hour, and collaborative games. The Zone begins in the Weber Collaboratory and runs until 6:00 p.m. on school days. Parents may also opt for occasional drop-in at $10 per day with easy online pre-registration. To register your middle school child for The Zone, click here.
HIGH SCHOOL
Students who are not picked up by 3:20 p.m. and not working directly with a teacher or coach must go to the high school front office.

We understand you may have questions about health and safety at MPCS. Below are a few reminders about the school clinic and our policies and procedures to ensure the health and safety of your children for the 2022-2023 school year! The nurses are also happy to meet with any family who has a child with medical/medicine needs and will be available at the School Clinic during Back-2-Night on August 9.
If your child has a LIFE-THREATENING CONDITION (diabetes, severe food or non-food allergy, asthma, seizure disorder, or other condition) an Emergency Action Plan is required before your child attends school. If your child will need to have MEDICATIONS IN THE CLINIC (prescription or over-the-counter), we must receive a Medication Authorization Form in order to dispense it.
Please complete the appropriate action plan form (or a comparable one supplied by your physician) and submit at Back-2-School Night or to the nurses no later than Monday, August 9. Remember to notify the nurses if your child has any medical updates throughout the year. You may also meet with Chef Moe Kshatri and the MPCS nursing staff on Friday, August 5, from 10:30-11:30 a.m. in the dining room to learn about SAGE Dining’s food allergy program and the SAGE Dining app.
