If you have a student who will be eligible for kindergarten for the 2021/2022 school year, please contact Janice at the Millstadt Primary Center for more information and so she can add your student to our upcoming Kindergarten roster. Students must be five years old by September 1st, 2021.
Due to COVID19, we are requesting that all paperwork be turned in by email or fax. You may also schedule an appointment with Janice to pick up or drop off paperwork at the front door of the Primary Center. All registrations must be turned in by 8:00 pm, February 9th.

Good afternoon. Our internet and phones are down. We can receive calls, but can not place out going calls. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Good morning. Afternoon bus route update:
Bus 16 students will ride bus 2 home today. Bus 2 will run both routes at the same time, so if your student rides bus 2 or 16, their drop-off time may be different than normal.
Bus 5 students who live in town will be dropped off by bus 6 again today. So drop off times for those students and bus 6 students may be different.
Bus 5 students who live out of town will be dropped off about the same time as they were yesterday.
Thank you to everyone for working with us during our shortage of drivers. Hopefully next week we will be back to "normal".

Good evening. After coming up with a solution to being a driver short tomorrow, we are now going to be two drivers short tomorrow. We will not be able to run a bus 16 morning route tomorrow. If you can't get your student to school, please call the office and we will send someone to your stop, but it will be after 8:00. We will run bus 16 in the afternoon but students will be dropped off about 30 minutes later than normal. Again, we apologize.

Good afternoon. Tomorrow, bus 12 WILL run as normal in the morning. Students who live IN town and ride bus 5 will be picked up by bus 6 between 7:45 and 8:00. Bus 5 OUT of town riders will be picked up as normal. Tomorrow afternoon we will run buses the same way we did this afternoon. Again we apologize for the inconvenience. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Good morning. This afternoon, bus 12 WILL run as normal. We are splitting up students who ride bus 5. Bus 5 students should arrive about the same time as normal, but may be a few minutes late. Students who ride bus 6 may also be about 5-10 minutes later than normal. Again, we apologize for any inconveniences. Thanks for your understanding as we try to navigate through these crazy times.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to run bus 12 for the next two days. There will NOT be a bus 12 morning route on Monday and Tuesday this week. If you ride bus 12 and you need transportation in the morning, please call the office to let us know. We will get a bus to you but it will be after 8:00. We will be able to run a bus 12 afternoon route but it will be after a driver gets back from their route. We will keep students in the gym until a driver gets back. Bus 12 riders will be about 30 minutes late getting home for the next two days. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we will not have enough drivers to cover all routes.

Phone lines and internet are down at both buildings. We are receiving some calls but not all. We are unable to make outgoing calls. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience.

Unfortunately, we don't have a driver for bus 5 again this afternoon. We apologize for any inconveniences. Bus 5 will be running about 45 minutes late again.

Keep in mind that next week we will have more students riding buses as we add 3 more grade levels to in-person learning, which will alter the times by a few minutes. Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

We have had two very successful drop-offs at the Primary Center so far. Great job everyone! Just a reminder to everyone that going forward, all drop-offs will be in the back. The front is for bus drop-off only. We will have at least two people in back to help with traffic and get students out of vehicles. You can remain in your vehicle. Parents, please communicate this to grandparents or anyone who is dropping off students in the mornings so that they are aware of the procedure. We look forward to a great year! Thanks!

MPC Kids Heart Challenge Update
Mr. Belosi has been getting some questions about gifts (T-shirts, balls, etc) that students still need to receive. This is the response from the American Heart Association in regard to this.
"The gifts are all packaged and are still being held by state. They’re in “zones” in the warehouse so we can release the gifts as allowed or recommended by health experts. As a health organization, we have to adhere to a stricter standard than retail stores, etc.With that said, the current plan is to ship the gifts for the beginning of the school year. "
As of now plans are to get these out as soon as we can when the year begins. If there are problems with shirt sizes we will work to correct these.
We will hopefully have a celebration party early in the year or the students will be able to slime at the kick off next year, if we cant set up a date early in the year.
Overall the school raised $13.392.53!!!!!!! This will also provide $1200.00 of PE equipment to the school!!!
We had 55 students raise over $100!!!!!!!!
The top fundraisers in each grade level were.
K - Cate Branum - $435.00
1st - Anna Kremmel - $347.86
2nd and overall top fundraiser - Jackson Klotz - 602.86
Once again great job to all involved!!!!!!! If you have any questions email Mr. Belosi mbelosi@mccsd160.com
