Homecoming dress code and dance information/clarification: *We are still highly encouraging this to be an informal dress code. Jeans will be allowed at the dance(no holes, please.) Please do not go out and purchase an expensive dress! If the local DHM’s would change for the worse, there is the possibility that the dance could be called off. *Only current Maxwell students grade 7th-12th grade are allowed to attend. This means no outside dates, those students who are homeschooling/remote learning courses or students who have graduated.

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A FREE LUNCH? YES!!! Superintendent McMurtry announced today that the USDA issued COVID-19 funding. Our school qualifies and this program will provide free breakfast and lunch for ALL K-12 students--effective immediately through December 31, 2020. Our kitchen staff prepares great meals on a daily basis. If you have a picky eater or a child that has never tried our hot lunch program, now is the time!

MHS has made it easier for all fans and coaches to find any home and away Covid 19 activity guidelines and procedures. It can be found on our website under the menu tab; documents or under the extra curricular tab on the left hand side of the website. These guidelines will be updated weekly.

As we prepare for the First Day of School, Mr. McMurtry has an informational video for those parents who drop off students at Maxwell Public Schools and for those students who drive themselves to school. We encourage all to please take a moment and watch this video. https://www.loom.com/share/7949e343ee59489694f1569130802c54?utm_medium=gif

Here is a link that provides instruction for the North Platte bus drop off in the mornings when we are in orange. Please watch the video and let us know if there are any logistical questions. https://www.loom.com/share/b1e590f19d9443e295269843fd908428 A few things to remember in orange: All students will be temperature checked prior to their ride pulling away. If a student is 100.4 or higher, they will need to go back with their ride. All students are required to wear a mask on the bus Students will sit in family groups first on the bus Parents can definitely drive their child to school if they choose to do so. How we have this set up may not be the best way to run it. If and when adjustments are needed, we will communicate those out to you. Thank you and have a great weekend!
