September 2, 2025

Good morning-

I hope you had a wonderful Labor Day weekend.

We will have class meetings the week of September 2, during X-block. Students will be called out of the 2nd period at 10:15am. 

9/2- Class of 2029

9/3- Class of 2028

9/4- Class of 2027

Teachers should use the X-block time on Friday, September 5, to allow students to sign up for X-block. We will be reviewing the expectations in class meetings this week. Please make sure your X-block sessions are created by each Friday. I encourage you to think about how you can use that time to provide tier 2 interventions. 

Our first faculty meeting is on Thursday, September 11, at 2:55pm in the library. All meetings for the year are listed in the Staff Handbook. Please mark those dates now so you can plan around them. The common planning schedule can be found here. If you will be meeting during X-block, please create an activity called Common Planning and set your attendance limit for 0. 

Back to School Night will be September 11, 2025, from 6-8PM. 

As you know, Kevin Anderson is moving on as of September 12, 2025. I am very grateful for his time here as a Clocker and wish him continued success on his new adventure. He has made an incredible impact on our students. I am excited to welcome Pete Connery to the team, starting today! He will spend the next two weeks working closely with Kevin to allow for a smooth transition. 

MPY is excited to announce that registration is now open for the 2025–2026 Webinars and Conferences. To register, each staff member must create an individual account using the unique link provided for your district (feel free to share it with colleagues).

A few things to note: 

·        This form is to create an account only; it does not register users for webinars or conferences. 

·        Users must enter their work email addresses. We will notify members who use personal email addresses that their accounts have been removed, and they must re-register with the school email address.

·        A strong password is required. Once you start typing in a password, a password indicator bar will appear. That must turn green. Then when you start typing in the confirm PW window, the green disappears until the passwords match.

·        Once all the required information is entered, at the bottom click on “Register.”  Please leave the "Login" section blank. 

Once logged into your account, you can register for a webinar or conference by selecting the “Webinars & Conferences” tab at the top of the website. MPY no longer sends confirmation emails or Zoom links. Instead, visit the User Dashboard on our website, where you can easily confirm your registrations and access the Zoom link to join webinars and virtual conferences.
