Last Friday, our 6th grade students joined others from around Iredell County at the Careers On Wheels event, sponsored by the Career & Technical Education (CTE) department. It was an amazing event where with our Red Imps heard from many local business, organizations, and agencies about career opportunities right here in Iredell County. As you can see from the photos, our students got hands-on experience, learned a lot, and had a great time! Thank you, CTE department!

Parents should provide documentation when requesting a student absence from school be Excused. Documentation from doctors' offices etc. is always accepted. Examples of lawful (excused) absences are:
- 1A - Illness or Injury
- 1B - Medical or dental appointment
- 1C - Death in family
- 1E - Court proceedings
- 1G - Educational Opportunity (must follow MGSD K-8 ed. opp. form posted below)
Parent-written excuse notes may also be accepted, within limits. *All parent requests for excused absences are subject to review and can be denied by the principal according to North Carolina's attendance regulations. 10 parent-written excuse notes (i.e. "mommy notes") is the maximum that will be accepted by MMS over the course of the 2026-27 school year to excuse a student's absence from school. MMS will accept these notes a maximum of three days after the student returns to school.
Any additional parent-written excuse notes beyond the 10 limit will be coded as Unexcused unless documentation from a dr. office, etc. is provided.
Regardless of reason, students are responsible for class assignments missed when they are absent from class. Students should speak with their teachers to understand what is due and when if they are absent. The due date for make-up work assignments will be, at a minimum, the number of days the student is absent. See our MMS Parent / Student Handbook for more information.
Please partner with us at MMS in bringing your child on time to school each day -- once they're here, we can work wonders! Reach out to Principal Kosal with any questions (pkosal@mgsd.k12.nc.us).

The email address for parents to alert MMS about student absences is:
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.
