Supporting your child’s education means more than just computer troubleshooting. In particular, parents and caregivers have faced challenges when it comes to fostering social emotional learning (SEL) while still supporting traditional academic learning.
The LTC SPARK program has created a self-paced course for parents & caregivers. In this course, written by SEL educator and coach Abby Lyons, participants will learn how to develop learning spaces at home, support student engagement, and encourage self-regulation. Parents and caregivers will also walk away from this course with the skills needed to manage their own social emotional well-being – no matter what challenges remote learning throws at them.
Sign up for “Parenting in a Pandemic” today and begin working toward completing this engaging new course at your own pace.

The Building Construction class was been making steady progress on our shed project. Most of the walls are framed, and today we get the deck of the floor installed.
The Woods I classes have done an awesome job on their projects this semester. They’ve put a ton and pride into their work, and I can’t wait to see the final product when they’re all done.
Thank you to all students and parents who have contributed supplies to our School Store!
We are thankful...en español.

8th hour Study Hall participated in the School’s mock election today and received smiley face stickers!
Today’s student council held a mock election. Mr. Clark helped us set up an electoral college system which each study hall had a set number of votes depending on its population. President Trump carried nine study halls while Vice-President Biden won in two rooms. Thank you to Mr. Clark and to everyone who voted!
Hello and Happy Fall from the Library part of the Media Center. The books are available to be checked out. Mrs. Koehler sent her English classes to check out books last week and today. Happy Reading!
Our MPHS office staff always goes above and beyond, but especially on Halloween!
English I group work...
Our new collaboration rooms are perfect for small groups!
English I is enjoying spreading out in the new media center for group work.
Today we got the last section of our lumber storage shelves built, making the new storage room complete. There were a lot of Industrial Arts students that had a hand in building them, and their help is greatly appreciated! The new storage cabinets also look great and have allowed us to get everything organized. It’s very exciting to see it all come together!
MPHS is planning to go trick-or-treating for canned goods again this year. Help out if you "can"!
It has taken some doing and creative movement with the COVID restrictions, but we are finally cooking in Nutrition class! Sadly, the students have to wait until they get home to eat anything. The word coming back to me is that everything is delicious!
