When you arrive to MPHS:

1. Parking: Go to the MPHS PTSO Prospective Families webpage, scroll down to Resources and look for the Campus Map and Parking Guideline PDF.

3. During the event, use the map to walk your Semester 1 schedule in order from START to FINISH. Go to Homeroom first, then Block 1, Block 2, Block 3, and Block 4. If you have A-Day/B-Day classes, be sure to visit both!
