Attendance is very important in order for our students to keep up with the instruction in the classroom. I appreciate all of your efforts to make sure that your children have regular attendance and arrive at school on time. Our bell rings at 8:45 a.m. and students are counted 1/2 day absent if they arrive after 9:45 a.m. If your child is going to be absent for any reason, please call the front office (722-0427) to inform us of the nature of the absence. We will make contact with a parent if we have not received a call. Any absence that is not verified will be counted as UNEXCUSED.
With the weather turning cold, please be sure your child is dressed appropriately for the day. District guidelines state that outdoor recess will be held unless precipitation is falling or the wind chill is below 19 degrees.
We had approximately 126 dads and kids attend Maize Central's first All Pro Dad's Day. All Pro Dads will meet on the the first Wednesday of each month from 7:30-8:30 a.m. for a before-school breakfast and a forty-five minute program of fatherhood and family topics. Feel free to join them and remember to park in the north parking lot and enter through the gym doors.
Parents, please park in a marked parking space when picking up your children in our north parking lot at the end of the day. We would prefer that the parents of younger children walk up to the north doors to pick-up their kids personally. If we all follow the same expectations, traffic seems to move efficiently, and students are supervised by an adult all the way to their vehicle. With cooler temperatures settling in, students will be taken to the office to wait for parents who do not arrive promptly. Parents should come in and sign them out for the day. Thank you!

MCE SPIRIT NIGHT @ Chick--fil-A
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15
4:30-8:30 P.M.
|
MCE students and staff invited their family members and friends who are veterans to take part in a Veterans Day Assembly. Each grade level did something special for the veterans (sang a song, read original poems, or wrote thank-you notes). This celebration was to show our appreciation to the Veterans who have sacrificed so much for our freedom.

| CAPTURING KIDS' HEARTS by Robin Criswell (Kindergarten) |
 "Capturing Kids Hearts Launch"
Every day, our class ends our day together with a "launch." This is a way to send everyone out the door on a positive note. By talking about things that we have learned that day, we wrap up our day. The purpose of a launch is to summarize our day, commit to ourselves and our learning, and to connect with our students one more time through our personal experiences and our own passion for learning.
|
If you did not purchase a yearbook
during enrollment, you may do so at any time. Feel free to order through Skyward or by
sending $20.00 cash or check payable to MCE.
|
 FYI: The MCE Character Ed Committee has decided not to participate in Hoops for Heart this year. Instead, they have chosen to  participate in Pennies for Patients for the Leukemia Foundation and a fundraiser event for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
