Welcome Back to School!
Dear Students,
We want you to know, first, that we have MISSED YOU! This is going to be a year like no other, but we are up to the challenge. Our staff has been working hard to welcome you back, whether in person or virtually. If you are attending in person, your teachers will give you directions on how to access their Google Classrooms on the first day of school. If you are a virtual learner, there are several things you need to know in order to get started:
1. Watch for e-mail communications from the school and/or your teachers.
2. Find the e-mail called “JOIN CODES” to find the Google Classroom Join Codes for each of your teachers’ Google Classrooms. Note that some teachers have created a class just for their virtual learners. Please check your schedule to make sure you are joining the right class. PARENTS, please do not join your child’s Google Classroom. Instead, ask the teacher for parent access.
3. Make sure to complete your INTRODUCTORY ASSIGNMENT for each class period in Google Classroom on the first day of school BEFORE NOON in order to be counted present. Any student who does not make contact with their teachers in Google Classroom will be unenrolled from school and will need to register again.
4. Paper packets for virtual learners will be available for pick up this Friday, August 14th and will be available every Friday in the Newspaper Stands in front of the school by 4:00 p.m.
5. If you experience technical difficulties, please contact Mrs. Baker at (903) 548-4001.
Meet the teacher night tomorrow from 4-7. We are requesting only guardians attend with the student. Siblings will be asked to remain in the cafeteria. Thank you for your understanding! MMS T-shirts will be on sale for $10. Can’t wait to see you there!

Good evening everyone,
There are no easy solutions in accommodating everyone for our upcoming fall athletic events, especially Friday Night Football. However, we have worked closely with Athletic Directors, Band Directors, and neighboring Superintendents to come up with the best possible plan we could. I am sure it is by far from perfect. If you have questions or have better ideas on how we can address any of these topics, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Our best,
Cody Mize
Superintendent of Schools
