14 Days of Christmas!
As we head into Holiday Break, we want to have some fun and students are welcome to participate in the 14 Days of Christmas by following the calendar below! There will be daily raffles for students who participate, so let's have some fun as we finish off our learning before break!
School Attendance
Every day of school is an important opportunity for students to learn as well as to connect to their peers and teachers. We need to reinforce that students learn best when they are IN school. While we understand the importance of keeping sick students home, we also ask that your student attend school every day that they possibly can. They need the social connection, the academic support, and the opportunity to learn and grow. Research clearly shows that academic progress slips once attendance becomes a problem. We are mandated by state law to file truancy on students who have more than 90 hours out of the classroom. So please remember we want your children here! If you are struggling with getting your child to school, or need resources to improve your child's attendance and academic success, please contact your child's counselor or Assistant Principal Mr. MacIntosh
MSE School Store
The holidays are right around the corner, and what better way to celebrate all things MSE than by buying your student some spirit wear! We have a fully stocked School Store with hoodies, t-shirts, crewnecks, sweatpants, and more all able to be purchased for your student or yourself! You can contact Mrs. Malaga at malagsh@lc-ps.org or call the main office at (586) 493-5200 to get in to shop the school store!!
