Coffee and light refreshments will be served in the lobby starting at 9:30 a.m. Presentations and tours for students and parents will begin at 9:45 in the auditorium. MNPS will be running buses for this event; for route information, call 615.259.INFO (4636) or email [email protected].
If arriving by car, park in the temporary lot in front of the school or in any available spot alongside the south side of the building. We can’t wait to meet our newest Burros!
What if you can’t make it on Tuesday or have a new 10th, 11th, or 12th grader? On Friday, August 3, there will be two opportunities for families to tour the campus and ask questions—one at 8 a.m. and the other at 4 p.m. Please RSVP to [email protected] if you would like to attend.
Teacher Appreciation—Donations Needed!
To show our teachers some back-to-school love, the PTSO will be serving breakfast to them on Friday, August 3. We are also collecting school supplies to give teachers a head start on what they need this year. Click the link HERE to sign up to donate items to our hard-working and dedicated teachers and staff. In particular, we still need lots of travel size Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer (like you find in the travel section of Target), small boxes of tissue, and dry erase markers. We are asking that people bring in 10 each of these items to try and get to 100 of each. Items can be dropped off any time before Thursday, August 2, in the marked bin in the main office. Thank you for your support!
