Parents, are you aware of the teacher web pages available for both you and your student to check at any time with-

out a password? Teachers are keeping their pages up to date this school year as a device to help drive instruction as well as offer information to students and parents alike about the learning environment at MCHS. Information on

contacting teachers is available through the website as well as methods of contact and best times. Log on today and see what is happening at MCHS!

AP English is traveling to Bryan Station on Saturday, October 6, for an AP Study Session. Teachers from across the

state and nation will provide workshop sessions on each aspect of our AP English exams.

The ESS tutoring program began the week of September 24—28th. What is ESS? The Extended School Services pro-

gram provides extended instructional time for students who need more time to meet the academic goals for their

grade level. Any student at the high school can participate with or without a referral by a teacher or administrator. ESS does not interfere with regular classroom instruction because it is provided outside normal school hours (after

or before school and in the summer). It is a free program to all students. ESS can offer all students a boost in all content areas to ensure that all students learn at a high level.

The culture at the school is changing into a more positive, engaging attitude. The students are winning in the class-

room, on the field of competition, and in life. Together with your help, we will continue to see our community, our school, and our students reach their full potential!

Students will be out of school on October 12 –15 for

Court Days. Students will resume classes on October

16th.
