April 24 - Welcome back
Welcome Back!
I hope you had a restful week. It was well deserved. Now we are headed into a very busy, fast paced, exciting and celebratory time of year. Buckle up and try to enjoy the ride. Before we know it our seniors will be on their way....and, speaking of seniors...
The actions of the senior leaders of MCAC (and the other MCAC students) gave us lots of evidence that our work and systems are producing students who can Act Effectively to make a difference in our school and broader community. They showed us what happens when passion and focused work come together. I look forward to seeing what this group does next. Please join me in thanking them for caring about something and trying to make a difference.
*Emergency Alarm prior to break: As a result of the Emergency Alarm that sounded at the close of Thursday's schedule several questions have arisen. A team will look deeper into the questions and concerns and include any decisions or procedural changes in the future. In the meantime, when you hear an alarm, stay calm and follow normal procedures until you hear otherwise. Always assume it is real until you are directed otherwise. Thanks.

A message from your Tech Dept: As we approach the close of the school year, please let tech know if you have any needs, wishes, hopes, etc for you classroom. If you are hoping for something like additional computers in your room, new screen, etc, let them know.
