Due to the new guidelines issued today by the Illinois Department of Public Health, MPGS boys basketball open gyms are canceled until further notice.

Some Mt. Pulaski Firefighters visited us this week and we talked about fire safety.

Good afternoon Parents and Guardians! We made it through our first in-person day here at MPGS and we were thrilled. There are still a few bumps in the road when it comes to dismissal, but we are going to work those kinks out. We apologize for the delay in getting students out of the building today. Here are a few things that will help us out: 1. Please communicate with your child each day on whether they should be getting lunch. We are taking lunch count every morning and we want to make sure we have an accurate count. 2. If you have any plastic grocery sacks that you would like to get off your hands we will take them from you. You can send them with your child if you wish or drop off at the office. We are so excited to have your students back in the building! Mrs. Lora

Please remember to come and pick up your mask and lanyards. They will be outside of the school all weekend for you to access. There have been a few changes to our routines. All walkers and pickups will be coming out the front main office doors. The kindergarten teachers will still walk them down towards the kindergarten door for you to pick up. All junior high students will be staying in one room for the duration of the school day except for their electives. 6th and 7th grade art will be in the art room, 8th grade art will be in the library. 6th grade band will remain in their classrooms and they will be instructed on where to go. 7th and 8th grade band will report to the band room. Choir students will report to the choir room. In order to find out what section your junior high student is in please look under the section number in teacherease. 6A - Wahls room (downstairs ELA, Kloba’s old room) 6B - Kloba’s room (downstairs Reading, Maske’s old room) 7A - Meeker’s room (Science room) 7B Washko’s room (Social Studies room) 8A - Library 8B - Tarrant’s Room (math room)

If your student is doing remote learning please stop by the school on Thursday or Friday between 8-3 to pick up their materials that they will need.

The Hot Spot order is going in today! If you haven't registered, we need to know if you need a hot spot, if your student will attend remotely or in-person, if your student intends to purchase lunch/breakfast daily, and if your child needs transportation. You can email your answers to these questions to hfricke@mtpulaski.k12.il.us. You can also call the grade school office (since the HS doesn't have phones) at 217-792-7220. We need this information ASAP! Also, you will still need to visit the correct office to turn in registration paperwork.
