SOLON SALUTES
There's so much beauty in having our students back at school. Whether it's getting kids back into sports, co-curricular clubs, or the new enrichment offerings, it looks like our students are happy to be back and are engaged at MHS! A big Solon Salute goes out to our students and staff who are making this a really great start to 2020-2021!

MHS NEWS and EVENTS
- Reporting Absences: If a student is absent for a class or for the day, parents/guardians should make sure to call Kim Kidney at MHS 225-8000 (or email kimk@mpsvt.org) to let her know the reason for the student's absence. Otherwise, MHS will mark it as unexcused until we are able to make contact with an adult who provides an excuse that is in accordance with the MRPS District Attendance Policy.
- Transportation Procedures: Please take the time to review our school's Transportation Procedures. As we strive for safety and engagement throughout our entire school system, we recognize that many elements of a student's Solon experience happen off campus for any number of a variety of activities. Many thanks for taking the time to review the transportation procedures and, if appropriate, provide the proper documentation necessary. Contact information for Matt Link and Val Belanger is included in the opening paragraph of the procedure document.
- Voting is extremely important to a healthy democracy but in 2016 only around half of eligible voters in Vermont voted. Even if you are not old enough to vote, you can help! (And you will get a cool mask in the process.) A quick and effective step is to become a Vote Safe VT Ambassador. Contact heathermc@mpsvt.org with any questions.
- MRPS/MHS Chromebooks Issued to Students: We are excited to have had the opportunity to provide every student at MHS with a Chromebook. New this year, students will be transporting their Chromebook home and back to school. We expect students to shut down and charge the device every night. It's critical that students remember to bring the device to school every day. Please help your child with these new routines. Please take a moment to read through the documents to the left and review the expectations with your students.
