Keeping our school community safe this summer means we’ve changed things up. A LOT. Student cohorting. Reduced capacity. Masks + social distancing. Limited contact points throughout the day. Staying home when you’re sick. Your signature on our Community Pledge. This year won’t look like other years. The structure of the MSHP program is different this year, but rest assured…the magic is still the same! We can SO do this. Working together, we’ll keep our school community healthy and safe!
