Dear MPS Families:

During this difficult time after the murder of George Floyd, many families are struggling and may need access to resources. Minneapolis Public Schools compiled a list of resources for families available including free food boxes that will be provided by the MPS Culinary and Wellness team through at least July 24. There are also resources for displaced people, mental health resources and ways people can help out.

We want to emphasize to everyone that our main emphasis this week is on supporting students, families and staff in their physical and mental health which is central to our focus on social emotional learning (SEL).

We will honor (but not require) the completion of class assignments and allow students to participate at the level they are capable. Student grades will not be impacted.
