Mountainburg Public Schools

Have a wonderful Thursday Dragons.😊

As August begins to wind down, we look forward to settling into Fall at Mountainburg. There is a feeling of nostalgia and tradition that comes with being in Mountainburg during the fall months.

Parents - We recognize the importance and the need for good communication between the school and the home, but we also know there is value in protecting our teachers and staff plus you as a parent when communicating about your child. So much communication is done digitally now and documentation of conversations can be vital if needed to resolve a situation. The Mountainburg School District is choosing to use the platform Rooms for teacher to parent and parent to teacher communication. Through Rooms, each principal is able to monitor all communication that takes place between the parent and the teacher. We are asking that all parents/guardians with a child in the Mountainburg School District to use Rooms for communicating with teachers. It is part of the DragonsLink app. The app can be downloaded from your phone's app store. Further instructions are available on the school website nder the Rooms tab: https://info.apptegy.com/for-parents-and-guardians If you have any questions, please contact the principal at the respective campus.

We all recognize that there is a time and place for specific clothing. At MPS, we have those same expectations of our students. It is our intent for these expectations to carry not only through school, but when MHS graduates enter the workforce. Parents, please help us by helping your student understand the importance of following the dress code that is in place.
