Hello all! I hope you are doing well and you are able to enjoy the weekend! For me, life is finally starting to return to normal - this weekend, my son turns eight and all three of my children have started baseball/softball. It feels good to have celebrations and activities in our lives again!
Announcements from the Office
Next week is Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Week! We will be celebrating with a spirit week.
Monday - Twin/Friends Day: Find a friend(s) to dress alike/twin with or dress like something that comes in a pair or group
Tuesday - Comfort Day: Wear your pajamas or a comfy pair of sweatpants
Wednesday - Wacky Wednesday: Wear mismatched clothes, patterns, socks, shoes, etc.
Thursday - Rockstar Day: Dress like a rockstar (or wear bright colors)
Friday - School Spirit Day: Dress in Marion County colors or your house's colors
ESS Opportunities - We have lots of opportunities for students to stay after school to receive help in their classes! All ESS is 3:30-4:30. We can provide bus transportation home, but students need to let the teachers know three days in advance so we can make arrangements. We have opportunities every day of the week except Tuesday.
Makeup school pictures will be March 30th.
Students are MAP testing this week! All students will take the Reading test and our 7th graders will take the Science test. Good luck!
If you have any pictures you'd like to submit for yearbook, you can easily share them using this link https://www.hjeshare.com/eShare/. The code is mcms21. You can submit photos of your child learning virtually, participating in spirit week, playing sports, etc.
Please bring a charged chromebook and your charger to school each day.
Report cards for the third 9 weeks will come home on Friday!
Parents, it is very important that you send a note with your child when he/she is absent. Without a note, it is an unexcused absence.
7th grade parents, registration for our first MC Band Color Guard /Percussion Clinic will be held on March 29th at 4:15 at the MCHS band room. Any student interested in attending must register at the link below:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSflDtLixOyk-Yek_mN_n413ZZddAAY_3VWp4q0MHucPviHHWQ/viewform?usp=sf_link
