SPECIAL REQUEST
We are delighted that the parents of
MHCA students are interested and actively involved in the academic progress
of their child(ren)! We believe this proactive approach is one of the most important components of student success in
school. However, in an effort to protect
teacher preparation and instruction time,
we ask that parents NOT stop by to meet
with teachers before, during, or after
school hours without an appointment as
this disrupts routines, is distracting and
consumes limited preparation time and
valuable instruction time. If it becomes
necessary to meet with your child’s
teacher outside of scheduled conference
dates, please make an appointment.
THANK YOU for your
consideration regarding this matter.
Technology Needs: Please let MHCA know if you’re in a
position to help further growth in technology in any
way!
Thanks to everyone for your participation and support in making
our MHCA athletic fundraiser a
success. We were able to raise
$4,700.00! Way to go! Congratulations to the winner of the 308
Rugar with a scope
William
“Buster” Janes!
DRESS CODE –Dear Parents:
