#PointerNation News

Silly times while working together made for a fun summer school!

Students in summer school have been learning more about the garden and creating patterns with fruits!

School supplies are starting to hit store shelves! Lists are available for the 2022-23 school year here: https://mineralpointschools.org/mpsd/supply-lists/

Children need healthy meals to learn. Mineral Point Unified School District offers healthy meals every school day. Please apply for Free or Reduced meals to help ensure all children are at their best each day! Unlike the last two school years, meals will NOT be free for all students (regardless of income status) because the Federal School Meal Waiver expired June 30, 2022. More info and the application form can be found here: https://mineralpointschools.org/mpsd/free-reduced-lunch-program-application/

The Mineral Point Unified School District is searching for substitutes -- come join the great place that is #PointerNation!
