Student Grade Portal for Parents (Parent Portal): Several parents have noted issues with trying to get text message alerts through ASCENDER and the student grade portal. This is due to changes made by mobile phone companies no longer supporting the alerts through text messages. Parents, you will need to change your alert method in the grade system portal from text to email address. If you need any help, please contact Cathy Vaughn for assistance.

Shooting Stars: Students who have signed up for Shooting Stars will have practice this Wednesday, November 12. Parents please note: Students that are practicing with Shooting Stars should go home after school and be brought back later for practice. There are NO staff available to monitor and supervise students after school, so they should NOT be staying after school waiting for practice to start. We realize this may be an inconvenience but student safety is most important and we do not expect them to be here on campus running around. This Saturday, November 15, will be their last Saturday game day. We invite you all to come out and support our youth in this great program, games start at noon and will run till 4:00.

Our theme for this week’s pep rally is “Mumford stands true to the Red, White and Blue” as Veteran’s Day is just a few days before the pep rally. Remember - No wigs, costumes, etc.
