Superintendent Dettwiller shares the RollCall
Superintendent Tim Dettwiller shares the first issue of the district's newest communication tool, “M-P RollCall.” Our goal is to share quick updates and conversations with you. We want to keep you in the loop about what’s happening in and around the district. While the content and format may vary from time-to-time, the intent is to give you answers to questions that may come our way, reply to concerns that might be raised, highlight Board action or share news that might not make it home or to the media.

2016-17 Student Transportation Information
We are excited to introduce our new electronic transportation information system (e-Link) for the 2016-17 School Year. This system provides parents with the most up to date information regarding bus stop locations and pickup/drop off times. Information is now available and will continue to be updated through the beginning of school, as we fine tune routes. View Student Transportation Information
