ANNOUNCEMENTS & REMINDERS
December 18: Please remember that December 18th is a full day for all 1st-12th grade students and is the last day for Extended Care this semester. (PK & K will be dismissed after their concert.)
Weather-Related Delays and Closures: As we head into the time of year when inclement weather is a possibility, we want to provide some information on how decisions are made to close or delay school. Please keep the following in mind:
We do not necessarily follow the city or county schools’ decisions.
Due to our high number of student drivers, we err on the side of caution.
We try to make decisions by 8:00 pm for the next day. Sometimes the weather changes after a decision is made.
We post decisions to close or delay on social media & TV news outlets (MCS will be listed by name). We also will send out a text and email alert.
Student Schedules: Second semester student schedules are now viewable in the FACTS Family Portal for upper school families. If you look at your schedule and find any errors, please reach out to dana.wallace@mcstn.org to get the issue resolved before Christmas break. Drop/add options were available in the first semester, so schedules should be in good shape. Please note that changes will not be made to a student’s schedule just because of elective preference. Some elective placements (especially in middle school) have been made to ensure classes are not overfilled.
Upper School Capstones: Please make note of the upper school capstone dates for the fall: December 19th & 20th. Remember that upper school students are required to be present during their scheduled capstones. Students who are absent from a capstone will receive a zero. Should a student have an emergency or illness the day of a capstone, a parent should contact the Academic Dean (not the teacher) to make arrangements for the capstone to be made up. Students may not complete capstones in advance of the scheduled time to begin a break early or take a trip.
