Parents of Juniors and Seniors--Tarleton University is hosting a TSIA Bootcamp on Saturday. Ms. Hughes discussed this information with the students this morning. TSIA is a placement test used by colleges to determine aptitude in Math, Reading and Writing. More information and a registration QR code is available on the attached flyer. The TSIA will be administered at MHS next Wednesday, April 6th, so this is a wonderful opportunity to prepare. Have a wonderful week!

Student Attendance is one of the most influential factors in student success. As we move into this gorgeous Spring weather in Texas, we ask that you continue to send your children to school every day unless one of our excused absence criteria is met. There is an article linked below from "My Texas Public Schools" that gives additional guidance on school attendance in Texas. https://www.mytexaspublicschool.org/preparing-and-enrolling-your-child/attendance-requirements.aspx Thanks for your continued support in educating our children! Mrs. Edwards

Kindergarten students worked hard to catch the leprechaun that was on the loose at MES. Last I heard, he paid them off with gold coins and made a clean getaway.

Spring Sports pictures will be taken tomorrow (Friday). Order forms are available at the HS office.

Tarrant County Food Pantry will be at MHS between 10:00 and 12:00 this morning.

This week we’ve celebrated the joy of reading with shared books, wacky dress-up days, and green eggs to finish the week.

Who says Dr. Seuss books are just for in the classroom? Mrs. Martin and Ms. Childers played Dr. Seuss games in the gym this week.

We love Read Across America Week from our heads to our toes!
