• MPS is going mobile!

     

    On September 5, Mmobile app graphic PS will release the MPS Connect Mobile App! This free app – which will be available in both Apple and Android formats – will offer fast access to MPS news and announcements, district and school calendars, lunch menus, social media, athletics, contact information, and more.

    In March 2017 we transitioned our website to a translatable, responsive design format. We are now integrating it with our new mobile app to provide a comprehensive digital communication system for our students, staff, parents, potential new families, and community to be able to access MPS information on their device of choice.

    Anyone is welcome to download the app, but the MPS Connect mobile app is especially powerful for MPS families. The app lets you select the schools you want to follow, receive district- and school-based announcements promptly, and more. Parents will be able to tailor the app to prioritize the information they want to receive.

    Join us on September 5 and go mobile with MPS!
