Winter Weather
- February has arrived, and so has the likelihood of cold temperatures. We will still be going outside for recess as long as the temperature is above 25 degrees, so please make sure your child has a coat, hat, gloves, etc., whatever they need to be warm outside.
- With winter weather upon us, we will send devices home if inclement weather is in the forecast. Please know that our teachers have plans in place to provide synchronous learning for students if the district issues an eLearning day. Your child's teacher will give specific instructions regarding daily schedules and accessibility. See below for support from our technology department.
Support Information from Technology Services
In preparation for winter weather, reminders and support items for eLearning days. This information applies generally to all MCCSC students. Please defer to specific information from your student’s teacher(s).

Important Information for Families who Drop Off or Pick up Students
- Our staff is working hard to ensure your student(s) have a fantastic start to their day. When dropping students off in the morning, for safety reasons, you MUST be in the drop-off line.
- Please check to ensure you have car rider tags for everyone picking up your student(s). Starting in January, if you don't have a car rider tag visible during pick-up, the driver will be asked to pull to the front of the line, show ID, and wait for the office to verify permission to pick up. Stop by or call the office to obtain new tags.
