LifeTouch Pictures update, Retakes DATE CHANGE
After consulting with LifeTouch, who told us that their lab is ‘extremely backed up’ in processing picture orders, we are moving the Lifetouch Picture Retake Day to Thursday, December 15th. We are currently anticipating pictures being available when we come back from Thanksgiving Break.
Session 2 After School Clubs Coming up in January - looking for a few more Club Leaders
Our next round of After School Clubs will be starting in January - sign-ups will start after Thanksgiving Break. So far, we’ve got (2) clubs lined up, and we’d like to get a few more. If you’re interested in possibly leading one of our After School Clubs, please reach out to our Clubs coordinator Ray Baldonade at rbaldonade@mmcharter.org.
Volunteer Log / Tracking???
At MMCA, we have a Parent Volunteer Commitment Policy, whereby we request (40) hours of volunteer time per family, per year. In our Front Office, we have binders with logs where parents can log the volunteer hours they’ve done. It is important to keep a running total of your hours. If you haven’t logged your volunteer hours yet during the school year, please do so. Among many reasons, we track volunteer hours for grant-related opportunities.
Annual Board of Directors Elections Coming up
Each year MMCA seeks parents interested in taking an active role in the governance of the school by serving as a MMCA Board member. A Board member serves a two-year term which fulfills their family’s annual 40-hour volunteer requirement.
The Board of Directors defines the mission of the school and clarifies its philosophy. In conjunction with the Executive Director, the Board establishes the financial, educational, and operational goals of MMCA and ensures that they are achieved annually. The Board may be involved in facility planning, review and approval of legal documents, annual operating budgets, and staffing decisions.
The Application and candidate information packet for the upcoming election is available HERE. If you have any questions about possibly becoming a Board Member, please feel free to contact Board President Chris Ward at cgward1974@gmail.com or Mr. Boothby at brent@mmcharter.org. The deadline for submitting applications is Friday, 12/2/22.
