Weekly Word News and Events
MPCS sends our e-newsletter, the "Weekly Word" every Wednesday to all families and subscribers. Please read this primary communication source for school information and upcoming events each week to stay in the know!
Additionally, each division sends a monthly e-newsletter with the latest news and schedule updates specific to those grade-levels. The Head of School Memo is sent bi-monthly and arts, athletics, and Christian life e-newsletters are sent bi/tri-annually. And, be sure to read important email messages coming directly from teachers!
If you missed a "Weekly Word" announcement, you can always find stories on the NEWS tab on the left edge of the MPCS website, on the "Word This Week" Instagram highlight, or search the posts below.
