Guidelines for spectators to MCHS athletic events
Even though this winter has been mild so far, I am wishing for an early Spring.
Which do you hope for?
There will be a HS Basketball Parent Meeting on February 2nd at 6:45 pm in the HS gym. Due to COVID restrictions, only one parent can attend per athlete.
Are you interested in a career that will make a huge difference in the lives of your community and their children? You might want to consider the Golden Apple Accelerators Program.
This Program provides a path to teaching for career-changers and soon-to-be graduating college seniors who aren’t currently on a teaching pathway. Participants in this 15-month residency and training program must commit to teaching in our partner school districts for four years after obtaining their teaching license.
The deadline to apply is February 1, 2021. You can apply online at: https://goldenapple.academicworks.com/opportunities/89

Updated guidelines for MC sporting events
Hello Raiders,
I'm happy to be almost to the end of January and just now communicating about the weather. As you're aware, winter weather will soon be upon us. Several people have asked about whether a snow day will be used as a remote learning day.
Should we need to cancel school for weather, Midwest Central plans to use a snow day just as we have in the past. We will not have any remote learning on those days. We will simply add them to the end of the year as we've done traditionally. I hope this clears up any confusion.
Best,
Dr. Todd Hellrigel

Mr. Lazarz sent over a giant box of Ukrainian candy – each student and staff member got to try some.

They provide exams and preventative services (cleaning and sealants) for students in Early Childhood through 5th grade; plus 6th, 8th, and 9th grades to fulfill dental services required by the state for school attendance. They will accept private and Medicaid/All Kids insurances.

The exam provided meets the State of Illinois school dental requirements due by May 15th.
Remote learners can participate. Parents are responsible for transportation. Please be aware that there are no appointment times. Contact the school nurse with any questions.
