The 2023-24 School Calendar highlights the important dates throughout the school year, such as holidays and breaks, teacher in-service days, parent-teacher conferences, and the start and end of each trimester.

School hours are 8 a.m.-3 p.m.

The school calendar was most recently updated in April 2023.

The Parent-Student Handbook is a resource for both parents and students on general school information, policies, procedures, and protocols related to student life at Menlo Park Academy.

Students at Menlo Park Academy follow a uniform policy that promotes a professional and positive learning environment while providing students with ways to show their individual personalities.

Adherence to the dress code is expected each day of school. Students must wear MPA-approved clothing. Parents will be notified of any specific dress-down days.

This policy was updated on January 11, 2022.

Each morning and afternoon, hundreds of vehicles arrive at Menlo Park Academy to drop off or pick up students in a process known as “Car Line.” An effective car line helps ensure that students are dropped off and picked up as safely and efficiently as possible. Although waiting in car line may sometimes feel long, it remains the safest and most efficient way to dismiss students in a commuter school like ours.

MPA families gather in public spaces with their young children for organized playdates in the summer, which offers students continuity of social interaction with like-minded peers. Playdates are also an opportunity for new families to meet other MPA families and for incoming students to meet potential classmates and make new friends.

Be sure to look for the list of Summer Playdates in ParentSquare posts!
