The MPE PTA website has a lot of great information, including a calendar of events, current forms and documents, links to important sites and information, as well as newcomer information. This is the best place to find up to date information throughout the year.
 
On the website you will see a link to purchase school supplies, spirit wear, PTA memberships, yearbooks, and sign up for the weekly newsletter. Please visit this website before Supply Sale Thursday, August 17th. You will create an account with your cell phone number and personal password. We will also have volunteers available at Supply Sale to help you set up your log-in and password to purchase school supplies and MPE gear.    
 
Some important dates to add to your calendar to ensure a successful start to the school year:
Thursday, August 17th – Back to School Night. Kindergarten Teacher Reveal (5:15 – 6:00 pm); MPE Supply Sale & Meet the Teacher (6:00 – 7:30 pm); events will be held at MPE

We are holding an information session, MPE 101, for all new families after our first General PTA Meeting/Parent Info Night. Please plan to attend this session to learn more about what to expect your first year at MPE.  
 
We can’t wait to meet you!  If you would like to meet more MPE families before school starts, please email me and I can get you in touch with other families in the same grade as your child.
