Lunches must be purchased in advance, Lunch cards may be purchased from the school office or from our school website. We will advise parents when their child is low on lunches.

Curriculum, Books & School Ipad program A combination of curriculum programs are reviewed by and chosen for the school year by MBS Teachers and Principal Riggs. State Common core standards are incorporated into teachers lesson plans in order to ensure students are ready for Standardized testing in the Spring. Textbooks are issued to the students in August once classes have begun, some are consumable items which can only be used during one school year. Students are also issued hardback books which are the property of the school and must be turned in at the end of the school year. Supply lists will be available at the beginning of the school year. Supplies may be brought in on Meet the Teacher Day prior to the first day of school through the end of the first week of school. MBS issues school Ipads to 4th 8th grade for use during the school year for students to use as a learning tool for creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Each ipad is equipped with child-safe (Mobicip) internet browsers and we have disabled certain features of the ipads that would potentially leave the children open to the risks of the Internet. Also, we have just recently upgraded our wireless infrastructure at the school to aid in protecting your child even further. MBS Registration Packet
