Sharing Directory Information
"Montgomery County R-II may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised the district to the contrary in accordance with district procedures to not release this information. "
Directory information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released, can also be disclosed to outside organizations without a parents’ prior written consent.
We normally disclose this information, which includes student names, addresses and phone numbers to our PTO and to other community organizations that request it so they may send invitations to student related events they may offer in the community.
Attendance is Important!
Attendance is a key factor in student achievement and success in education. The responsibility for regular attendance is the responsibility of the parent(s), guardian(s), and the student. Legal Refs: 167.031 – 111,171.151,RsMo.
Our percentage of attendance at MCE, during the month of August, was the lowest it has been in the last 8 years. It is important that you make school a priority, and ensure your child is at school on time and ready to learn each day.
Our school day begins at 7:50am with morning assembly.
Tardy Policy
It is important that students arrive at school on time. Students who have an excess of 5 tardies will have to serve detention after school to make up their lost time.
Tardiness
Tardiness is defined as not being in the classroom when class begins. PLEASE NOTE: When a student is tardy, a parent or guardian must come into the office to sign the child in before the student will be sent to class. A student is tardy if they are not in their classrooms by 8:00 am. Parents or guardians will be notified when tardiness is excessive. If a student is habitually tardy corrective measures may be taken.

Phone calls to change transportation routes are for Emergencies Only
If you need to make a change to your child’s normal routine you must send a note with your child in the morning. If it is an emergency, you must call and speak to a secretary before 2pm. Do not leave a message on the school answering service. The answering service is to report absences only, and it is not checked throughout the day.
We will not make any changes after 2pm. Our goal is to get every student safely to their correct destination at the end of each day. We need your help to make sure this happens.
