To support our valued staff member, Megan Davis and her entire family, we will be cancelling school on Thursday August 21, 2025 for the funeral of Derek Davis. We anticipate a large number of staff and their families will want to attend the funeral at 10:30 AM in the Old Gym. The number of substitute teachers available, will not be adequate to cover the classrooms needed.

New to the locker room hallway is a display of the famous "Man in the Arena" by Theodore Roosevelt. This passage is a great statement of the importance of effort and struggle, even in failure, that we want all of our students and athletes to work towards. Next to the passage are photos picked by a student committee that reflect this message. More will be added each year.

Parents and students are invited to Open House night on Aug. 12. Elementary Open House will be 4:00-6:00 PM and MS/HS Open House will be 5:00-7:00 PM. Students can bring supplies and meet their teachers for the upcoming school year. Help kick off the 2025-26 school year!

A special Thank You to our maintenance and custodial staff who have spent the summer getting the high/middle school building and district grounds ready for a new school year. They've cleaned, waxed, painted, fixed, replaced, mowed, watered and countless other tasks all so the students will have great facilities to learn, practice, and compete in and on. Thank you for all your work!

One change HS students will notice this year is a new cell phone policy. Students will NOT be allowed to have cell phones, ear buds, air pods, smart watches, or other similar devices with them in class. These devices will need to be kept in their lockers or not brought to school at all. Students can use them before and after school, during lunch, and even between periods but will not be allowed to take them to class. We feel this will reduce distractions and anxiety, while improving focus and learning. We look forward to this change and appreciate student and parent cooperation.

While MHSA has moved to requiring sports physicals every other year, Malta Public Schools will continue to require yearly physicals for all student-athletes.

Here’s why:

MHSA’s change was based on feedback from larger schools and urban areas where clinics were overwhelmed and exams were being rushed.

Annual physicals help ensure student safety. A consistent yearly schedule gives families the best chance to catch potential health concerns early.

It also simplifies the process. Fewer exceptions and off-year tracking means less room for error. It also helps ensure no student falls through the cracks.

We believe this approach is in the best interest of our students and families.
