Updates from our
Head of School
Hello Marblehead Community Charter Families,

I have been out of the office this week with COIVID. While it is frustrating to have come through the past two years only to now test positive, it is a reminder that we all must continue to take simple steps to keep one another healthy and safe. Stay home when sick. Wear a mask when you return from a recent illness. Keep your hands washed and sanitized. Get vaccinated. Get boosted. If we all do these things, not only will the case counts remain low, the symptoms when one does test positive will be greatly reduced. Thank you to the many that opted into the self-testing (at-home tests) this spring. There is still time, as this program will continue through the last three weeks of the school year.

My heart breaks for the families of the victims of the school shooting in Texas on Tuesday. These completely unnecessary tragedies continue to happen only in our country where our so-called leaders fail to take any action. When is it going to be enough?

At MCCPS, we will continue to hold student safety as our top priority while maintaining safe access to our school for parents to be active members of our community.

We look forward to the many special events of the final three weeks of our school year. Please review the information below and please plan to participate in the fun run, the pancake breakfast, the electronics recycling drive, the Navigator's baseball game, and of course join us for Exhibition. See below for dates and ticket links.

Enjoy the long weekend.

Student Council Elections

Elections for the four officers of the 2022-2023 Student Council will be in early June. Students currently in grades 6 and 7 can run for President and Vice President. Students currently in grades 5-7 can run for Treasurer and Secretary. Candidates must fill out a candidate form with four signatures. Once forms are returned, candidates can hang posters that follow the guidelines on the form. These forms are available from Ms. Miner and Mrs. Lodgen. Senators (advisory representatives) will be elected in September once advisories are finalized. All students in the school in the fall are eligible for those positions. If you have any questions please see or email Mrs. Lodgen.
