🚨WEATHER UPDATE🚨
MCSD Families: With significant rainfall impacting parts of our county, we are closely monitoring conditions ahead of the school day tomorrow.
Families should plan for the possibility of traffic and transportation delays. Please allow extra time for the morning commute and, most importantly, be safe and do not rush. If weather conditions cause your student to arrive late tomorrow morning, the tardy will be excused with parent/guardian notification.
We will continue to monitor conditions and share updates as new information becomes available. Please monitor the District’s website and social media channels for the latest information.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to keep our students, families and staff safe.

🎃 What a BOO-tiful day at our Annual Costume Parade! 👻
The rain held off just in time, allowing our VPK through 2nd grade students to parade through campus and show off their creative costumes. Our 3rd through 5th grade students enjoyed cheering them on from the sidelines, making the event even more special.
Thank you to everyone who helped make today's parade so much fun. We loved seeing all the smiles, school spirit, and excitement!

✏️ Third Grade Writers at Work! 🎃
Our third graders are continuing to grow as writers! This unit, students worked on strengthening their writing skills by sharing a personal experience about a time they felt scared. They focused on adding details, expressing their thoughts, and bringing their stories to life for their readers.
To make the experience even more engaging, students gathered around a classroom “campfire” to share their writing with their classmates! 🔥
Our kindergarten scientists had a spooktacular time exploring science centers! 👻 They squished and stretched ooey gooey Ooblek, created Halloween-themed crafts, and tested whether pumpkins sink or float. What a fun day of hands-on learning! 🎃🧪
🍂📚 Fall Into a Good Book! 🍁❤️
There’s nothing better than sharing the magic of reading with the people you love! Our students enjoyed a special time reading alongside their loved ones, making memories one page at a time. 🧡 Thank you to our families for taking the time to join us and help foster a love of reading!

Our students put the scientific method into action while exploring the similarities and differences between comets, asteroids, meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites! Students developed hypotheses and conducted investigations to answer the question: Does the height from which a meteorite falls affect the size of the crater it creates? 💥

Our 5th graders explored the amazing world of plants as they learned how plants adapt to their environments to survive and thrive! The best part? Our young scientists got to explore real plants straight from our very own school garden. From carnivorous plants that trap insects to plants that use chemical defenses to protect themselves and plants that survive with very little water, our students discovered just how amazing plant adaptations can be! A special thank you to Master Gardener Amy Friedrichs for sharing her knowledge. 🌱💚
It's Chick-fil-A Night on 10/26/2026, from 2:00 - 8:00 p.m. Use the code, wildcats when you order and help give 10% back to PCE!

🐾🦁 Learning About Animal Adaptations & Classification! 🐢🦋
After completing our first Benchmark unit on Animal Adaptations and our first science unit on Animal Classification, our third graders put their learning into action through a PBL! 🔍📚
Students researched a specific animal, discovering fascinating facts, identifying the adaptations that help it survive in its environment, and learning how it is classified.
To showcase their learning, students created their own “textbook” pages using a variety of text features to organize and share their information. From headings and captions to interesting facts and more, they demonstrated their knowledge in creative and meaningful ways! 📝✨
