What’s perfect about Middle School is that your child finds themselves right in the middle of things. There are younger students, older students and there they are, sandwiched in between, trying to claim their space and figure out what their world is all about.
Having a strong community of faculty and parents surrounding you and your student offers a host of advantages. At MPA there is an extremely high value placed on the importance of a strong education, and with that driving principle, you’ll find yourself surrounded by other adults who care and go the extra mile to help make a difference in the overall educational experience.
OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL COMMUNITY
The MPA Middle School community is a friendly, eclectic group of families who seem to enjoy school as much as their students. As a parent of a middle school student, you’ll move into less of a hands-on role with your child, who will become more and more capable of making decisions, managing their own belongings, and learning how to manage time as they move through the middle school experience.
You will find numerous ways to become an active member of the MPA community.
There are parent meetings, athletic activities, concerts, plays and performances. You can get involved in the Parent Association, maybe become a Grade Rep and plan specific activities for your child’s class. There are numerous functions that involve the entire school community which allow you to broaden your scope and get to know parents of children from all grade levels. There are teacher appreciation activities, Book Fairs and the Mosaic Cultural Fairs….just wait. You’ll wish you were back in school yourself. The beauty of involvement at MPA is that we offer many ways for you to stay involved as you are trying to allow your child to develop their independence. What a perfect balance.
