Human Trafficking
What you don’t know CAN hurt you!
Home and School Association
Parent Night
Wednesday, 10/30/19
6:00 – 7:00 p.m.
Did you know Florida is third in the nation for numbers of reported cases of human trafficking, and the average age of trafficked youth is 11 to 13 years old. In 2018, there were 767 human trafficking cases reported in Florida. Of those cases, 149 were minors. Up to 70 percent of sex trafficking and exploitation begins with predators connecting with youth online. Parents of the victims have one thing in common, “I never thought it would happen to my child.”

Educator Pages
Starting Trimester 2, middle school homework and assessments will be posted in Educator Pages, not in RenWeb. We were hoping to integrate Renweb as our Learning Management System (LMS); however, at this time there are some weaknesses within their platform. We believe Educator Pages is a more effective means of communication for our school to post homework and assessment information.

Lunch Room Guidelines
We welcome safe environment approved parents, guardians and grandparents to eat lunch with their child. As you dine with your child, we ask that you please adhere to the following guidelines:
- Parent/guardians/grandparents must check in the main office and obtain a visitor’s badge from the office staff before lunch.
- You may bring food for your child and yourself only. For safety reasons, you may not bring additional food for other children. This includes cookies and other snacks. Many children have life threating food allergies. The exception to this is birthday cupcakes or cookies which must be store bought with the ingredients listed for safety reason. It is not necessary that you bring in treats, but if you do please drop them off in the front office that morning.
- Please eat with your child and only your child at the designated parent dining table.
- Please do not take any photos of children or staff.
- When lunch is over, please let your child return to his/her class. Our teachers are on a tight schedule, so saying goodbye in the lunchroom helps them stick to their schedule.
- Please return to the office to check out when your child's lunch period is over. Please do not go to the classroom with your child.

Middle School Trimester Exams
MTC middle school students complete each trimester with exams. These exams count as one summative grade and cannot be retaken. End of trimester exams help students with content retention and preparation for high school exams which account for a significant percentage of their semester grade. First trimester exams will be given the week of November 4th. Exam study guides will be distributed to the children no later than Monday, October 28th and will be reviewed in class.

Internet and Cell Phones
The internet has drastically changed the way children interact with the world. The use of cell phones among tweens and teenagers has jumped considerably. Technology is not without risks and parents are encouraged to monitor their child’s devices.
