Young Entrepreneur’s Day?!
We are happy to announce another “return to normalcy” after our 2 years of COVID. Our 7th and 8th graders will be participating in Young Entrepreneurs Day on Tuesday, December 20th. This is a month-long project that ends in them having products for sale where they are learning about business plans, profits and losses and the benefits of advertising. Each classroom will be visiting the event that day and we would like to invite our MMCA families to participate as well. The event runs from 9am to 11am and from 1:30pm to 3:30pm. Please come out and support our middle school students!
Attendance Matters / Truancy Letters
Heads up: If your child(ren) has more than 3 days of unexcused absences or unexcused tardies, then you will be receiving a truancy letter from us in the coming week. The County is now requiring us to send these letters out (just like all schools used to pre COVID-19).
It is crucial to try to have your students at school everyday to help them stay on track with their academic success. Poor attendance can cause too much loss of learning in class. This will ultimately impact your student’s academic achievements and MMCA’s finances that fund our academic and extracurricular programs. We understand that some absences are unavoidable. If it is necessary for your student to miss three or more days of school, you are welcome to request an Independent Study through our office or by emailing Mrs. Johnson at bjohnson@mmcharter.org..
Heads Up: Annual Board of Directors Elections start tomorrow
Our annual Board of Directors elections will start tomorrow. Families will be emailed access to a SurveyMonkey based ballot sometime around 10:00a.m. tomorrow - ballots will be emailed to the parent emails listed within your student’s AERIES profile. The voting period will last until Winter Break.
Lost and Found
We have A LOT of stuff on our Lost and Found Rack. Over the next couple of weeks, please take a moment to see if your child’s jacket, sweatshirt, lunchbox, water bottle, etc. are there. All items on the rack on 12/21 will be donated to a local charity.
