Below is a statement from the MPA regarding its decision to delay the start of Spring Sports. There are very few details as of right now and the MVC will be be working together as a conference to develop schedules and make any necessary changes:
“Yesterday, Governor Mills had a press conference stating that they are encouraging “Social Distancing.” By her definition, “social distancing” means groups of 250 or more people attending non-essential events should be delayed or postponed.
Because of this, the MPA Board of Directors and Interscholastic Management Committee voted today, March 13, 2020 to delay the start of the 2020 Spring sports pre-season practice until April 27, 2020. We will continue to monitor the situation and will make the appropriate changes as needed to ensure the safety of all students.”
If you have any questions please feel free to contact the school and ask for Tom Danylik. There might not be much to share at this time but please do not hesitate to call.
The spring Student Led Conferences scheduled for next week are all cancelled. Your child's Advisor will be contacting you through email or by phone to review academic progress and submit next years course request. Thank you for your understanding #FalconsFly
