School is in full swing now - teachers have hit their stride in the classroom, students are settling in, and fall activities are in full swing.

PSAT
Sophomores and Juniors wishing to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship or prepare for the SAT will be eligible to take the PSAT on October 1st during the school day. The PSAT is a timed exam that measures college preparedness in areas of reading, writing and math. It is important to note that students who are working to be a National Merit Scholarship will need to take the test their Junior year but are encouraged to also test as sophomores to practice the format and style of the test. The cost is $18 and can be paid by cash, check or credit card on the MCR2 webstore. Students should sign up in the office. If you have any questions please reach out to Casey Dillon-Chipman at cdillonchipman@mc-wildcats.org.

We will host a College and Career Day for 10th-11th graders on October 3rd. There will be a variety of colleges (Community, Technical and 4 year College), career/job opportunities, and civic groups available for our students to gather information and ask questions. During that same time, the freshman will be participating in a Freshman Bootcamp (students will be placed into small groups and discuss a variety of topics - mental health, advocating for self, navigating all things high school, etc).

While our students were enjoying their summer, our maintenance, grounds, and custodial crews were working hard to transform the cafeteria and the south end of our building (business, library, math, and science rooms). We hope that all students have enjoyed their summer, but are happy to have them back into the building to start the school year. We are looking forward to a great year.

Here a a few reminders as school begins -
- Schedules, including lockers, will be handed out during first hour
- Students that drive need to register their vehicle with the office. Each driver will be given a car tag. The tag needs to be hung from the rearview mirror and the student needs to park in the appropriate parking spot.
- Students that turned in their paperwork will get tags on Tuesday.
- All drivers planning to drive to school need to have their paperwork in by Friday (8/22).
- We will meet with each grade level on the first day (seniors - 2nd, juniors - 3rd, sophomores - 5th, freshman - 6th). The purpose of these meetings are to go over changes for the 25-25 school year, expectations, and school procedures.
- Students can only change schedules during the first week of the semester.
- There is a class change request form from the office - get the signatures from the teachers (class leaving and class wanting) and turn it into the office.
- Schedule requests may or may not be approved. The office looks at class numbers, students ICAP, schedule availability, along with other things.
- We have a new messaging program this year through Apptegy. You will get a message (text) invitation. Please download the link. You sign into Rooms using your phone number.
- Per Senate Bill 68 - Personal Communication Devices; including but not limited to cell phones, smart watches, and/or wireless earbuds, must be out of sight (in lockers or cars).
