Bank Day
STRONG ATTENDANCE = STRONG LEARNING πŸ’ͺ🍎

When students are in class every day, they gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to succeed.

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.

βœ… Students in class = accurate snapshot = the right funding to support stronger schools in our A-rated District and better opportunities for our kids.

Let's work together to make sure our students are here next weekβ€”it makes a difference for everyone.

As General Counsel for Florida’s 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.
