What is ‘Cultural Day’ on Halloween?

One of our many traditions at MMCA is doing something a little bit different for Halloween. We do not allow traditional Halloween costumes at school. Instead, the students in each of our classrooms do age-appropriate presentations and projects (including costumes) essentially based on an aspect of their grade level’s social studies curriculum. More specific information about your child’s project has been sent home from their teachers.

Student Drop-off / Pick-up Reminder

REMINDER: Student drop-off / pick-up should ONLY occur either along our drop-off curb in front of the school or from a designated parking spot. I’ve seen several examples recently of parents encouraging their kids to walk up along our driveway and get picked up from there - that is NOT safe, please do not do this.

Breakfast / Hot Lunch ordering update

Hello Mustangs!

The November menus are open for ordering. The order deadline is 11:59pm on the Monday of the prior week. We encourage parents to only order what they anticipate their child(ren) will eat. We are noticing a lot of kids not even picking up their food.

Have a great day!
