Meet the New Teacher - Mrs. Campbell!

Be sure to read the entire student handbook. Here are some of the highlights for this school year!

Attention 2023 Graduates: Please stop by the office to grab your graduation pictures and yearbooks!

Attention Parents of Athletes! Official practices begin next week. If you have not logged into TeacherEase and registered your chid(ren) for school, they may not attend practice. They must first be registered/enrolled in school. Also, fees, updated physicals & athletic paperwork must also be turned in or they can not attend practices. This is for LSA Football, LSA Cheerleading, MPHS Soccer, MPHS Volleyball, MPHS Golf All registration is online through your parent TeacherEase account! If you need a device, you can register online in our office on weekdays beginning Thursday, August 3, from 8 am until 3:30 pm. Registration must be done by the parent/legal guardian. If you need help setting up a parent TeacherEase account, please email: hfricke@mtpulaski.k12.il.us

Good afternoon, Partners in Education! We hope this email finds you well - keeping cool and enjoying your summer! School is just around the corner. The first day of school is Wednesday, August 16, 2023. The full school year calendar can be viewed here online: https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/1378/CUSD23/2817365/Calendar-2023-2024.pdf Online registration will open on Monday, July 10, 2023. To complete registration, simply log into your TeacherEase parent account and follow the steps. All registration for returning students is online. If you do not have access to a device to register, you will need to come into the school between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on a weekday between August 3, and August 11, to register your student(s). If you are using a cell phone to register, it works best to log into www.teacherease.com in a browser instead of using their app for registration. If you have trouble logging into TeacherEase, you can contact us to work on your login issue: High School - hfricke@mtpulaski.k12.il.us Grade School - dlora@mtpulaski.k12.il.us While registration will remain open for several weeks, we would love if you could help us out by registering early. This will help us ensure that grade 5-12 students get the size PE t-shirt they need to start the year off right! Registration fees will automatically calculate at the end of the online registration process. If your child is not returning this school year, please email the appropriate school principal as indicated above. Reach out if you have any questions. Enjoy the rest of the summer! Sincerely, Mrs. Fricke & Mrs. Lora

A message to returning Toppers: Dear Sophomore, Junior & Senior Toppers, I hope you are all enjoying your summer break! I've been busy getting things ready for this coming school year. That being said, your school email account password is in the process of being changed over. You can find your new password by logging into TeacherEase. At the beginning of August, your TeacherEase password will also be changed to match. So, please log into TeacherEase, jot down your new combo/password, and be prepared to use it for your school mail and (in August) TeacherEase. Chromebook pickup for sophomores, juniors and seniors will be in the evening on Monday, August 14, and during the day on Tuesday, August 15. I will send out a more detailed communication later this summer. School begins on Wednesday, August 16. It's right around the corner, so enjoy what's left of this summer! Sincerely, Mrs. Fricke
