Welcome back!  We are so excited to welcome our 2016-2017 Ospreys to an exciting school year.  We’ve worked hard to organize our school to support safe, respectful, and responsible learners as they grow and change from third through fifth grades.

When you come into MBS, you will notice that most of our classrooms have moved!  This year we added a new third grade section and two new special educators.  We are now organized into six smaller “communities” with one special educator working with three or four teachers at the same grade level.  The teachers in each community will work together to support the learners in their community.

This is also our first year as a “PBiS” school.  PBiS stands for positive behavioral interventions and supports.  At MBS, PBiS will mean taking the time to teach everyone very clearly our expectations for how we will conduct ourselves throughout the school day.  Adults in the school community will work hard to recognize our Ospreys when they are following expectations and helping to create the safe and orderly learning environment we all need.  We will celebrate our successes with All School Meetings and celebrations!

We are very excited about the changes in our school.  We hope you will explore our updated website and mark your calendars now for our Open House on the evening of Thursday, September 22nd.
