** Action needed: A New Way to Support Your Child on State Tests!
We are excited to share an update about state testing that gives students an additional opportunity to see success on their End-of Grade (EOG) or -Course (EOC) Exams. We know that tests are important, but we also know that sometimes, a single test day doesn't reflect everything your child has learned.
* A New Retest Opportunity: Starting this 2025-2026 school year, if a student is not proficient on their EOG or EOC test, they will have the chance to take it again.
This "retest" is a great second chance for them to show their skills and improve their score. This is especially helpful for high school courses (NC Math 1) where the test is required to count as 20% of the final grade. Retesting is a win-win opportunity because students get to keep the higher of the two scores. For your child to be able to use this retest opportunity, we must have your permission on file.
** What to Do: If you would like your child to have this opportunity if needed, please complete this Google Form by Frday, May 8th, 2026: Opt-in Form *We encourage all parents to take advantage of this no-lose opportunity!!
Questions? If you have any questions, please contact your child’s assigned school administrator.

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.
