To the parents/guardians of «First_Name» «Last_Name», To all those who observed Ashura, we hope you and your families were able to mark this date by spending time together. Ashura is a religious observance for Muslims all over the world. Ashura literally means tenth, and it is observed on the 10th day of Muharram, first month on the Islamic calendar. We would like to acknowledge all members of the MCI family and community who have participated in the observance of Ashura.

MCI HIGHLIGHTS
Drive safe reminder!
Attention all drivers in the MCI Community! We have had a number of dangerous situations arise in the past where members of the MCI family have been injured by unsafe drivers in and around the school. We would like to remind you to adhere to the rules of the road and to keep the following in mind:
• Please follow the speed limits. Driving a little bit slower, especially in school zones, is a good way to practice safe driving habits!
• Please leave home early – often times accidents happen when people are rushing. • With the daylight savings time change soon approaching, roads will be darker so please pay
extra close attention to pedestrians in the early hours of the day as well as late at night. • Please follow the rules of the road – the MCI parking lot has one dedicated entrance (west
end of the parking lot) and one dedicated exit (east end of the parking lot). • Put your phone away. Distracted driving is never a good idea…your texts can wait! • Reduce all potential distractions and focus on the road at all times. • Be extra cautious and always be prepared to make a sudden stop. • Be aware of school buses and other vehicles in pick up/drop off areas. • Take extra care when approaching stop signs, crosswalks, and traffic lights. • Roads will soon become slick with the cold weather only weeks away…ensure that your
vehicle is ready for harsh winter climates!
Attention MCI Families!
We believe that a collaborative and inclusive partnership between our school and our families is essential. Please join us for our first School Council meeting of the year on Monday September 16th at 7 pm in our school library. We will share school updates and goals, emergency preparedness plans, and other important school information items. If you are interested in being a part of the School Council Executive (Chair, Co-Chair, Secretary or Treasurer), please complete the attached form and send it to [email protected] or bring it to the meeting on Monday. You may also choose to nominate someone for a role using the same form.
See you Monday! All parents, guardians and family members are welcome!

UPDATES FROM THE GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT
There is a positive relationship between regular attendance and success in school. Students at MCI are required to attend regularly, to be punctual, and to participate in all scheduled classes. VALID ABSENCES include illness, bereavement or family emergency. AUTHORIZED ABSENCES include dentist/doctor appointments, driver’s test, and court appearances. EXCUSED ABSENCES refer to field trips and school sanctioned events. Students are still considered to be at school. EXTENDED ABSENCES of four days or more require the completion of a “Special Leave” form at least one week in advance of the leave. This form may be obtained from the Main Office. A parent/guardian signature is required. It is the student’s responsibility to catch up on all work missed. DO NOT plan absences or family vacations during culminating and exam periods as the evaluations CANNOT be rescheduled.
