Lunch Costs Waived for Foreseeable Future

The USDA has provided funds to continue to pay for student school lunches until December 31, 2020 or until the funds are exhausted, whichever comes first. TMP-M completed the waiver on Friday, September 11, 2020, and it went into effect immediately yesterday, Monday, September 14, 2020. Until further notice, school lunches will be served free to all students at TMP-M.  A la carte options will still be available for high school and middle schools and charged to their meal accounts. All money placed on the meal accounts will carry-over until regular meal prices resume. Students who qualify for free or reduced meals will also carry-over that status.
Student Homecoming is Happening!

The TMP-M cheerleaders have set up an opportunity to purchase 2020 homecoming t-shirts. Please utilize the attached link in the flyer to access information for purchasing your 2020 TMP-M Homecoming t-shirts.
Change in TMP-Marian's Indoor Sports Policy

After two weeks of activities, we feel the need to change our indoor mask policy. Everyone inside Al Billinger Fieldhouse or any of our buildings will be required to wear a mask at all times. The policy on outdoor activities remains unchanged.

Updated Indoor Policy:

 
**Masks are required for entry into all TMP-M buildings. All spectators not wearing a mask will be asked to mask or leave the venue. Please be respectful of our policies and those enforcing those policies**

Volleyball:
                 Players and coaches will be required to wear masks. Players on the bench will have masks on, only the players on the court will not be masked. Spectators will be expected to wear masks at all times inside our buildings. We have hand sanitizer stations for public use.
