Online Resources
MPS Students and Families,
We wanted to remind everyone that the front page of our school website has a list of most often used links for our educational programs. Most students are well versed in knowing how to find the links and access the information. One of the benefits of using cloud-based programs is that students can log in on any device and use the program. That's also one of the benefits of using Gmail/Google Docs, they can be easily accessed from any computer or phone. Most of our teachers are using either Gmail and/or Schoology to communicate with students. While we are unsure of how long students will be out of school, we are glad that we have these lines of communication and programs in place to ensure the continuation of learning, albiet in very different circumstances than anyone would have been able to predict.
There is an abundance of online resources and educational programs. The Media Center page has links for our school Card Catalog, Nebraska Access, World Book and other informational links. To access, find the Academics link on the front page and locate Media Center on the drop down menu. On the right side of the page, students can log into the library card catalog.
