School resumes and our main office will once again be open beginning on January 3.
Advanced Learning Newsletter
Including a link to the district's Fall/Winter Advanced Learning newsletter as it was not included in the MMSD newsletter that went out to families all across the district.
Reminder: UW Department of Psychiatry Brain Research Opportunity
The UW Department of Psychiatry and BRAVE Research Center are looking for youth ages 10-16, accompanied by a caregiver, to participate in two neuroscience research studies:

1) Emotional Development Study, and,
2) Parent-Child Learning Study.

Study visits include clinical interviews, MRI brain scans, surveys, and various computer games/tasks. All visits take place outside of school hours at a clinic on the West Side. Families are compensated after each study visit. Because of the MRI scans, eligible youth cannot have braces. Earn a $10 Amazon gift card for completing a brief online screening form to see if you’re eligible to participate in either of these studies.
 
See the below link for the flyer for the studies, screening form, and contact information for any questions you may have.
