We need your help! The clinic is in need of all sizes of boys underwear. If you have any gently used underwear that can be donated we would greatly appreciate that. We are also happy to be able to provide change of clothing to our students whenever needed, but wanted to remind everyone that those borrowed clothing need to be cleaned and returned so that we are able to continue to provide items when needed.

After reviewing updates from numerous weather sources, we see the likelihood of ice and sleet moving through our area during the morning commute.

Start times are as follows: K-3 at 9:40, HIS at 10:00, NMS at 10:40, and NHS at 10:45.

We wish to remind everyone to be mindful of parking in the correct locations when visiting our schools. Areas designated for handicapped parking are clearly marked with signage and/or blue stripes. Please do not park in those areas unless you need handicapped parking access. The MCS Police Department has the authority to ticket those who fail to comply with this request. We must work together to provide an opportunity for all MCS students and community members to enter and exit buildings and parking lots in a safe manner. We will support our officers who work to enforce these expectations. Let's be respectful of all individuals and set a positive example for our students!
