We love seeing our District Resource Officer, Officer Mark, connect with our students on and off the field. These moments build trust, belonging, and smiles that last well beyond the school day. And we’re so grateful for strong partnerships with our local police departments and for the ways they support the success and safety of every Wildcat. 💙
👏 We'd love it if you would give Officer Mark a round of applause in the comments.
📸 Special thanks to Abbie Thompson, third-grade teacher at Upper Allen Elementary School, for capturing this special moment.

By pausing to review safety procedures together, we help ensure that every student knows how to respond quickly and calmly if the need ever arises. Safety always comes first in MASD. 💛
📸 Thanks to Nick Wilson, Supervisor of Student Affairs and Safety, for the photos of our Wildcats in action.

🛝 The jungle gyms are still. The slides are quiet. And we can't help but miss the laughter, energy, and smiles that fill our playgrounds throughout the school year. We are so excited to soon welcome back our Wildcats - it's not the same without you! 🐾
Our first day of school is August 19, 2025, with a staggered start for our K-3 Wildcats. Don't forget to check out our Back to School Resource Center for answers to many of your questions as you prep for the first day of school: www.mbgsd.org/BTS.
