After 8:00 a.m., parents must park and check their child in at the front desk. Parents are strongly encouraged to drop off their children at the proper locations and at the proper time so they will be supervised at all times while they are at school.
Visitors
To ensure the safety of students, all doors of the Early Childhood and Elementary Building are locked at 8:05 a. m. each morning. Parents and all other visitors must enter through the front doors of each respective building. Parents and all guests are required to stop at the reception desk to obtain a visitor's pass (which is to be returned to the receptionist before leaving). In an effort to minimize disruptions to instruction, all lunch boxes, money, books, forgotten items, etc. must be left at the receptionist’s desk and will delivered to students by MCS staff.
