FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE:

We have a policy change this school year for grades 5th thru 12th. If you child is going to carry their inhaler and or an epipen with them on campus you must also provide the nurse with one to be kept in case the one the student is carrying cannot be found or is not working properly. If you have questions or concerns please feel free to call me. 

When doing that back-to-school shopping, remember our dress code! 
Per the MC Handbook:

      SCHOOL DRESS

Dress and appearance must not present health and safety hazards or cause disruption of the education process.  Personal appearance or attire of pupils, which creates disturbance or commotion within the school, is a detriment to the program of study and will not be tolerated and shall cause disciplinary action to be taken.   A student will not be permitted to attend class with inappropriate apparel (Dress code for homecoming and prom will be addressed by the class sponsors).   When there is a question concerning the possibility of a dress code violation, staff members and/or teachers will “privately” (never in the presence of a student) notify the building principal, or his/her designee, either in person or via email.  The building principal, or his/her designee, will make the final decision regarding the appropriateness of a student’s apparel.
