Every day, MPS staff are working to make schools safe and positive for students and staff. Respect is the key to a positive school environment inside MPS buildings and on school grounds. When students, families, and staff show respect for one another, teaching and learning can take place and our schools can be successful. We encourage everyone to show respect by:
- Remaining calm
- Using kind language
- Listening to and following staff instructions
- Working toward solutions together
Visitor Policy and Procedures
The safety of students and staff is a top priority in the district. Because we welcome families in schools, we want everyone to understand the procedures for visiting MPS buildings. This will help everyone know what to expect and make visits go more smoothly.
All visitors must:
- Schedule any meetings with school staff in advance.
- Visitors are limited to TWO per student for meetings, conferences, and classroom visits unless approved by the building administrator or designee.
- Use the designated main entrance.
- Report to the office/security desk.
- Show a form of identification. Everyone age 14 and older must present a school ID, driver license, or other photo ID.
- Sign in and out on the MPS Visitor Record.
- Be escorted to and from the requested location.
- Wear/display the MPS Visitor Pass at all times while in the school.
- Return the Visitor Pass to the office/security desk and sign out.
Student Behavior Concerns
To protect our students, if anyone has a concern about student behavior, the behavior must be reported to a staff member and/or the child’s teacher or further action. No one should attempt to confront, discipline, or punish another parent or guardian’s child. The district has many procedures in place along with a Student Code of Conduct that describes disciplinary actions. Misbehavior and violations of the code of conduct will be handled according to district processes in place. The Student Code of Conduct can be found in the Parent/Student Handbook on Rights, Responsibilities, and Discipline at mpsmke.com/rights.
We appreciate everyone’s cooperation to keep our schools safe.
