In order to facilitate scheduling for next year, it is essential that you share your child’s Music and World Language preferences with us by March 3, 2023. Please discuss and review the opportunities available at MMS with your child.
Math Placement - 5th Grade Parents will be notified and will be able to view their child’s Math placements in ASPEN by April 2023. Exact date will be posted here when available.
