Good evening, BTW Parents,

Today, scholars received a copy of their Semester I report cards (including Seniors). If you did not receive a copy, please ensure that your scholar obtains the report from his/her homeroom teacher.

As a gentle reminder, all scholars, to include Seniors, are expected to attend school this week. A memo from the executive director's desk was shared on last evening. Parents, thank you for supporting our scholars and our school shine bright with healthy school attendance.

Sincerely,

Dr. Ruffin

Good morning, BTW Families,

ATTN Seniors and Parents of Seniors:

Graduation tickets will be distributed at the conclusion of graduation rehearsal, May 11, 2026. Each senior will sign verifying receipt of tickets. At this time, each Senior will receive 10 tickets. I would like to share that the number of tickets allocated is ultimately determined by Alabama State University, as they host the ceremony at the Acadome. Several factors go into that decision, including safety, security protocols, staffing, and overall event logistics. Unfortunately, I will not be able to honor any requests for extra tickets.

Thank you for your time and understanding. Congratulations again to our Seniors c/o 2026.

Good evening, BTW Parents and Scholars,

From the desk of the Executive Director of MPS Secondary Schools...

This is a reminder that the last day of school for all students is May 20. (Seniors are still required to report to school this upcoming week). Student attendance directly impacts our chronic absenteeism rates, which are reflected on our school and district report cards.


BTW Parents, please support our scholars in attending school and finishing strong!
