2.  All students sent to the Library must have a pass from your teacher and a student ID in order to check out materials. Many students are using copies of schedules or post-its. Please do not go to counseling and request a copy of your schedule as it will not suffice in the check-out process. It is your responsibility to carry your student ID. Replacement IDs are $10 in the Counseling Office.  Please see Mrs. Herrera.  Thank you, MWHS Library Staff
3. Freshmen will no longer be allowed to pick up food from vendors or go to the ice cream truck.  Per district policy, freshmen are not allowed to leave campus.

Students in grades 10-12 will only be allowed to pick up food ordered IF you present a student ID at the gate and you are clear to leave campus.  Without a student ID, you will not be able to go passed the gate.  If you are scanned and you have fees or lunch detentions, you will not be allowed to pick up your food from vendors.
