MMS school dance: Friday, Dec. 5
The next MMS school dance of the year is scheduled for Friday, December 5th, from 6 - 8:00pm in the MMS gymnasium! All students are eligible to attend, unless they're on the LoP (loss of privilege) list.
The cost to attend is $5 cash admission at the door, and concessions will be on sale all night also (cash only). Students should bring their Mooresville Middle ID cards to make entry quicker; only MMS students may attend the dance for safety reasons.
** Parents: the dance ends promptly at 8:00pm. All students MUST be picked up by 8:15pm or they could wind up on the Loss of Privilege list themselves.
We hope to see lots and lots of Red Imps at the next MMS dance on Friday, 12/5!

How to alert MMS of student absence:
The email address for parents to alert MMS about student absences is:
MMSAttendance@MGSD.k12.nc.us
Parents can upload doctor's notes as well. This process helps to avoid lost excuse notes!
|
|
Note: Students may have up to a maximum of 3 days per school year excused to take advantage of valid educational opportunities. Prior approval from either the Principal is required. Absences that are classified as a valid educational opportunity will be coded as “excused” whereas others will be coded as “unexcused.”
To make a request for prior approval, submit the above form to the Principal two weeks before the absence(s). The student is responsible for completing all missed work in addition to submitting a Student Educational Assignment as approved by the Principal in order to have the
absence coded as “excused.” All projects are due within 5 days of the student’s return to school.
