MPS Parents,
As we approach the first day of school on Thursday, August 8, 2024, we're excited to welcome your children back to a year filled with learning and growth! Here are some important reminders to help ensure a smooth transition back to the classroom:
MPS Clear Book Bag Policy: All students are required to use clear book bags (mesh bags are accepted, but clear bags are strongly recommended). This is a part of our comprehensive safety guide, ensuring a secure and positive learning environment for all. Hoodies will not be permitted for safety reasons.
Transportation: The Montgomery Public Schools Transportation Hotline is now open to assist parents and guardians with any questions or concerns you may have regarding school transportation for the upcoming school year.
The Transportation Hotline will be available until August 16th. We encourage all families to utilize this valuable resource to address any transportation-related inquiries you may.

Communication is Key: Our schools will actively communicate expectations and updates for students. Please stay informed by checking school websites and newsletters.
Stay Connected: Regular communication with your child's teacher is essential. Reach out with any questions or concerns. Update your student's contact information through the online student registration portal, accessible at www.mps.k12.al.us under the for parents section. You may also contact our student support services department at 334-223-6851 with any questions and concerns.
Attendance Matters: Daily attendance is crucial for academic success. Let's work together to make sure your child is present and ready to learn. Help your child transition back to school by establishing routines for bedtime, wake-up times, and homework. Yonder pouches are still required for students in grades 6-12.
Get Involved: We encourage parents to get involved with your child’s zoned school PTA! It's a great way to connect with other parents and support our schools. We look forward to a year of learning, collaboration, and growth. Together, we can make this the best school year yet!
