The first day of school is an abbreviated day. Thank you for your patience as dismissal may take a little longer the first few days of the new school year. Listed below are the dismissal times for each of the schools. MES: 10:45 a.m. MMS: 10:55 a.m. and MHS: 11:00 a.m.

Welcome back! We look forward to seeing our wonderful students tomorrow on the first day of school. It is an abbreviated day for students. #MilanLife

Food Service Update: During the height of the pandemic the federal government allowed all students to eat free of charge. Congress did not extend that benefit for our new school year. Students may still qualify for free and reduced lunch, but will be required to fill out a free/ reduced application form. Applications can be filled out online at schoolcafe.com/milanssd or a paper copy will be available at each of the schools. Only one application per family is needed. Lunch prices for the 2022/2023 school year will be $2.75 for MMS and MHS students and $2.50 for MES. Breakfast will remain free of charge.

The MSSD dress code has recently been updated. Take a minute to review the dress code before shopping this weekend. https://bit.ly/3JiqiIU
