We are now using Board Docs to share Board of Education Meeting agendas and minutes. You can find the link under the Board of Education tab under menu on our website.
Meeting agendas go live 24 hours before the Board of Education meeting occurs.
Students and staff debrief this morning after one of four required lockdown drills that schools must do every year.
It's important that not only staff, but students are included in the process to help create a safer MCS.
Superintendent Osterhoudt takes a break during the school day. These kindergarteners remind her of her "why."
HoopMind Basketball Camp Came to MCS again last Sunday! SUNY Oneonta's Graham Wooden is the founder of Graham Wooden Performance who ran the camp. Graham is a student athlete, athletic trainer and small business owner. Graham said it was truly a blessing to provide this opportunity for MCS students. Graham provides basketball clinics to help young athletes develop not only their basketball skills, but their interpersonal and life skills as well. There was a great turnout for the 3 hour session. Graham's goal was for every athlete to take away something from the clinic to help prepare them for the season. Check out the video below!
Thank you, Graham!

10/2 GM game vs Downsville at Downsville will be starting at 5:00.
IMPORTANT Message to Families!
Because students receive free breakfast and lunch through CEP or Community Eligibility Provision, families receive a P-EBT food benefit card. This summer additional money was added to these cards.
*The District does not issue these benefits. Families must contact the number below for more info.
Families who threw away their card can get a replacement by calling 888-328-6399. If they do not have the 19-digit card number on the P-EBT card, they will be asked for their child’s Social Security number — but they should not type that number. Instead, they should type 999-99 and then the child’s birth month and day in two-digit numbers. For example, if the child's birthdate is July 4, the person should enter 999-99-0704.
