Good Afternoon MMCA Families,

Welcome to the first of our Thursday Flyers! Each week during the school year, as a school we will send a weekly flyer with information about upcoming events and happenings at our school. The flyers will be published on either Thursdays or Fridays.

Reminders:

1. Our 23/24 Parent Orientation Handbook is now LIVE (linked here). New parents in particular, please take a look at all of this packet, but in particular please look at our drop-off / pick-up procedures.

1. REMINDER: New Parent Information Night is TONIGHT, 8/17/23 @ 6:00p in our Multi-purpose Room, and our Back to School Night for all parents is @ 6:30p this Thursday within each of our classrooms. These events are intended as parents-based events - there is no supervised child care provided. If you need to bring your child(ren) in order for you to attend, that’s fine.

Thank You PTA!

Thank you to our amazing PTA for providing our staff with a welcome back lunch on Wednesday! It was catered by the Rustic Mule and it was absolutely outstanding and very appreciated!

Looking for (1) PT Lunch Supervisor:

We’re looking for (1) PT paid person to help us with Lunch time Supervision. The ‘normal’ shifts are approximately 11:10a - 1:15p (about 10 hours/wk). If interested in applying, please contact Ray Baldonade at rbaldonade@mmcharter.org.

Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities:

Over the next several weeks, we are going to start recruiting for a variety of parent volunteer opportunities, including:
