Attendance always matters, but October 6-10 is especially important. That's the week the state takes its enrollment snapshot to decide school funding for the year.
β Students in class = accurate snapshot = the right funding to support stronger schools in our A-rated District and better opportunities for our kids.

We were pleased to have Stuart Attorney Kate Bradford on campus today! As General Counsel for Floridaβs 19th Judicial Circuit, and proud parent of three Diamondbacks, she was the PERFECT person to share lessons about the Constitution with some of our students.
5th graders, who study American History, were mesmerized by the discussions about what America would be like without our founding document.
Kindergartners learned about citizenship and rights and responsibilities.
Thank you for adding to our understanding of civics, Mrs. Bradford! And⦠Shoutout to Mr. Cowles for attending and sharing MCSD pride with our guest.








Start with Hello Week begins Monday! Mrs. Branco has organized fun activities for each day to support making connections and creating a welcoming environment. Practice greeting others with a smile and sharing kind compliments all week, plusπwear greenπ on Wednesday! π #StartwithHelloWeek #SpreadKindness #unstoppableSchoolSpirit π
