Morning Routines: Drop-Off, Lockers & Homeroom

Morning drop-off starts at 7:05 every morning on the bus parking end of the building. Students are expected to go to their lockers and then report to homeroom. They are not to be out wandering the hallways or visiting other classrooms. They must report to homeroom by 7:25 or they to be signed in by a parent or guardian.  

Every student is assigned a locker on their first day at MMS.  It is to be used for keeping books, notepads, supplies, coats, etc.  Students are responsible for the contents of their lockers.  They should NOT GIVE THEIR COMBINATION TO ANYONE ELSE AND DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO USE YOUR LOCKER. Sharing lockers could result in disciplinary action.  Keep your locker in neat and good condition.  

Locker Visit Schedule:

  • Before Homeroom

  • Before Lunch

  • After Lunch

  • At End of the Day

Sign-Ins & Sign-Outs

Students who are late arriving at school MUST have a parent or a parent designee come into the office and sign the student in.   Students are not permitted to leave school property during the school day unless a parent or parent designee from the Student’s Information Form comes to the office and signs the student out.  If a student becomes ill during the day, he/she must secure permission from a teacher to leave the room and report directly to the school nurse or office. Only those people authorized by the parent on the Student Information Form may sign a student out of school.   

Students who sign in during 1st period or out during 8th period will be considered tardy.   Three accumulated tardies will result in one day of Detention Hall.  Six accumulated tardies in one semester will result in one day of In School Suspension.  Any sign ins after 1st period and sign outs before 8th period is a half day absent.  

Bus Notes & Passes

If a student is going to ride a bus other than their assigned bus or get off at a different location they must bring a signed parent note. Students should turn in bus notes to the office and a parent must call to verify the note during the school day. If any or all of these steps are not completed the student will not be given a bus pass.

Electronic Devices

All electronic devices, including cell phones, must remain in your locker during the school day. MMS is not responsible for the loss, theft, damage or destruction of any electronic device(s) brought to school. 

Chromebooks are issued to students and are school property. Students are responsible for the use and misuse of Chromebooks. Failure to take care of Chromebooks will result in severe disciplinary action and possible restitution. While not in use, students are to keep their Chromebook in their binder sleeve designated for their computer.
