Today we conclude the first six days of online classes. Thanks and congratulations to students for their engagement and diligence and to faculty for their care for students and for the high quality of instruction! Here are some comments from teachers:

Check out the Rocket Daily News Mrs. Shannon Kapp emails to students, faculty, and staff early on every school day. Thanks to everyone who is contributing photos, videos, poems, and prayers to keep us connected. Please let us know how we on the faculty and staff can be helpful. Email is the best way to contact us during this period when most of us must work from home.

 

The EdChoice Scholarship application window for 2020-21 scholarships opens on Wednesday April 1. We encourage parents who live in a public school district with a high school on the state list of EdChoice designated schools, who do not already have an EdChoice scholarship, and who have not yet sent application materials to McNicholas to send them to Mrs. Kendra Lonneman (klonneman@mcnhs.org) by Friday of this week. Please send 1) a scholarship request form, and 2) an acceptable proof of address. (We already have the third required item, a copy of the birth certificate.) McNicholas will submit the new applications it has received before April 1 on April 1. The state will award scholarships in the order in which new applications are submitted. It is likely that no scholarships will be left for new applications submitted after April 1. McNicholas expects families who have applied for McNicholas tuition assistance and who are eligible for an EdChoice scholarship to apply for an EdChoice scholarship so that the first part of a family's demonstrated financial need will be fulfilled by EdChoice.   The Ohio Legislature might remove schools from the list of designated schools prior to April 1. Meeting the April 1 date is essential only for NEW EdChoice applications. The state has communicated that all RENEWAL applications will be funded for 2020-21.
