Student Medications at School Reminder

If your child requires medications to be given at school, please make sure to fill out the Medication Order and Parent Release Form filled out and signed by the physician. Form available HERE. Please also make sure to bring the medication in when returning the completed form.

Attendance

If your child is going to be absent, please call 916-630-1510, ext. 302 or email tfernandes@mmcharter.org. It is best to send a message or email before school starts if possible so that the office does not need to contact you during the day to verify the absence! During school hours, ask for the attendance line. After business hours, please call and press the attendance line extension.

As a public school, M.M.C.A. is required by law to enforce California’s compulsory attendance laws. Attendance is VITAL to your child’s success in school. State-approved “excused” absences include: illness, medical appointments, religious holidays, religious ceremonies, and bereavement purposes. Most everything else is considered an “unexcused” absence.

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.

Volunteer Opportunities:

Afterschool Club Leaders: Our first round of after school clubs will start in September.. Individual clubs usually last for one hour after school and go for six weeks. So far, we have a Karate Club (with belting) and an Art Club ready, and we’re looking for a couple more clubs. If you’re interested in leading a club, please contact Ray Baldonade at rbaldonade@mmcharter.org.

Crosswalk monitors for morning drop-off (8:15a-8:30a - we’ll offer DOUBLE volunteer hours for these spots)

All School Garden Workday: Within the next month, we’re going to have a work day for our outdoor classroom that will include bark and DG pathway work - many hands make light work! If you’re interested in helping out with our garden, please contact Kristin Thomas at kthomas@mmcharter.org.

Art Docents: We’re going to be recruiting for Art Docents for each of our classrooms - if you are interested in being an Art Docent, please contact Art Docent Coordinator Julie Cohodes at jcohodes@mmcharter.org.
