TIM MALONE,
PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents,
The school year has just
begun and once again I am
impressed with the students
attending MCAA. I feel
fortunate to be at a school
filled with so many cheerful,
excited students who want to be at a school learning
a particular art they love or studying with the purpose
of attending college.
THANK YOU TO OUR VOLUNTEERS!

This year will be filled with theatrical shows, recitals,
art shows, academic trips to colleges and arts schools,
and musical performances. Our first performance will
be the one act plays known as “Starflight”, which are
written and performed by our students.
Mendenhall, Shannon Davis, Rachel Maloney, Debra
I am excited about our five new teachers this year.
These teachers are energetic, passionate about the
subjects they teach, and are able to connect students’
interests with the curriculum. I have also noticed they
are doing a great job of building relationships with
their students.
Dimalanta, Rachel Maloney, Gail St. John, John
This year also promises to be exciting in the area of
theater art. The Advanced Drama class will be
performing “Skin of our Teeth” and “Legally Blonde.”
One of the Beginning Drama productions will be
“Alice in Wonderland.”
Lubeck, Sara Cowan, Geoff Cowan
I want to thank all of the parents involved in the PTSA,
the site council, Music Boosters, and any other
volunteer activity at MCAA. These parents give their
precious time and energy so that we can buy sound
equipment, repair instruments, pay for field trips,
provide scholarships, and much more.
As I stated earlier, this school year has had an
outstanding beginning and with the help of all
involved, will continue to be outstanding.

Counseling Corner
Counselor: Christy Spade, 749-6157 X6232, [email protected]
Welcome Back MCAA Students and Parents,
It is hard to believe another year is underway! All first semester schedule changes
have been made so students will need to keep their current classes until second
semester at which time they will have the opportunity to request a change.
The fall is a busy time of year, especially for seniors. I have reviewed senior transcripts to make sure
students are on track for high school graduation. I will also be meeting with seniors over the next few
months to review their plans for after graduation and offer support as needed.
The application window for seniors who plan to apply to a California State University (CSU) or University of
California (UC) school is just around the corner. The CSU window opens October 1st and remains open until
November 30th. UC applications are currently available online; however, the submission window is only
open November 1st through November 30th. Private universities and out-of-state schools set their own
deadlines so students should research the specific schools they are interested in to ensure they meet all
deadlines. Students who plan to attend a community college next year will not need to start the application
process until the spring semester.
Yuba College will be hosting College Information Day on Wednesday, September 16th. Seniors will have the
opportunity to attend this free event where they will be able to meet with college representatives from Yuba
College, as well as other universities from around the state and beyond. I will be visiting the Civics classes to
give students an opportunity to sign up. If your senior does not have Civics, please have them stop by the
Counseling Office as soon as possible if they are interested in attending this event.
Students who are 4-year college bound should take the SAT and/or ACT entrance exams. Seniors who plan
to apply to a university this fall must have completed at least one of these tests by no later than December
2015. Juniors who plan to be eligible for a 4-year university should consider taking the SAT and/or ACT in
the spring. Upcoming SAT test dates are October 3rd, November 7th and December 5th. Upcoming ACT
dates are October 24th and December 12th. Registration deadlines are typically about a month prior to the
actual test date, so sign up now. Fee waivers are available based on income. Stop by the Counseling Office
for more information about fee waivers, practice tests or how to register.
In order to prepare for the SAT, MCAA will be offering 30 juniors the opportunity to take the PSAT on
Wednesday, October 14th. The PSAT is an exam geared toward helping students prepare for the SAT. The
SAT will be undergoing major revisions beginning with the Spring 2016 administration – these changes will
be reflected on the PSAT and should help students prepare for the new version of the test. Students who
will be taking the test will be given a study guide later this month.
Fall is always a busy time of year, but please don’t hesitate to contact me if I can be of assistance to you or
your student.

Dear Parents,
We (MCAA), as a
community, are
revising our school’s
vision and mission. In
order to help us
accomplish this, I am
asking all parents to complete a short
questionnaire. These questions also let us
know how we are doing and where we need
to focus more of our energy.
There are two different questionnaires. One
is for the parents of middle school students
(grades 7-8) and one is for the parents of
high school students (grades 9-12). In order
for these questionnaire results to be valid,
we are trying to get to as close to 100%
completion as possible.You may manually
enter the links below or access them at our
school web site.
The link for the questionnaire of parents of
7th and 8th graders is:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/

The link for the questionnaire of parents of
high school students (9th – 12th graders) is:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/
EFF_PAR912_Marysville_MCAA
I want to thank you in advance for
completing the questionnaire.

Attendance Office News
Dear Parents:
Help keep our school attendance
percentage up!
If your child has a doctor, dentist, or personal
appointment, it really helps our school if they
can be present part of the day.
Please call me to verify your child’s
absences, also for absences of 1 day or more
please call me to arrange short term
independent study. First quarter progress reports will be sent
home September 21.
Aeries.net parent and student information
will be sent home for new students. New students will not be able to make
an Aeries.net account until they have
returned the school technology use form in
the parent’s rights packet. So be sure to
return it to the office. Any returning parents/students that need
information to create an Aeries account to
check grades and missing assignments,
come in to the office or call me.
Sincerely,
Brenda Brown
Counseling Secretary
