First Day of School - Wednesday, September 5th
Once again this year, we want to call upon our community to spend a few more minutes together in prayer to our King and the plans He has for MCS this year. On Wednesday, September 5th, our gates will open at
7:30 as normal. We will then all join together as a Middle and Elementary School and pray over our students corporately at 8:00. For this day only, all of our students will go in together at 8:10 (with the exception of 8th grade who will have their picture taken). From 8:15 to 8:45 our Parents In Prayer (PIP) group will have stations set up around the school with prayer topics to bring before the Lord. We hope you will be able to stop at one of the stations or even a few. Prayer station topics and locations will be sent to you in advance.
Please mark your calendar to join us!!
Please note that Late Start Wednesday begins on Wednesday (9/12).

You may deliver it to the front lobby lunch cart next to the receptionist desk. Label the lunch with your student's name and homeroom teacher. Please do not bring glass bottles or drinks without lids.
MCS School Uniform
MCS encourages students to take pride in their appearance and to dress appropriately for all occasions. Recognizing that the quality of their character is more important than clothing, MCS has an established uniform. Support of this policy begins at home with parents. The dress code will be enforced beginning the first day of school.
Families transitioning into 6th grade: Please note that uniform styles change from elementary to middle school. Before ordering uniforms for your middle school student, please review the middle school uniform guidelines including the "Very Important Middle School Reminders" page to ensure that your student has the correct uniform for their first day of middle school.
