Good evening families. There is a concerning number of students that are coming to school not in school uniform. This is concerning issue for us as the student handbook states all students are to be in school uniform at all times unless they have paid for the dress down on Fridays. The school unform is Navy Blue or Gray polo with a school logo, Navy Blue or Gray pants, (not sweat pants, leggings, or jeans). Students are to wear shoes not crocs or slippers or sandels. If your scholar wears a Hijab or an Abya they must also be Navy Blue or Gray.

If your scholar comes to school not in unform the follow will accour:

1st offense - The student will receive a Friday afternoon detention and you will receive a email letting you know.

2nd offense - The student will receive a day of in-school suspension and you will be notified of this.

3rd offense - The student will receive a day of out of school suspension and you will be called to come get them.

4th offense - The student will receive out of school suspension and will be taken to a disciplinary review board.

Parents, thank you for your concern on student use of cell phones. We have a policy that has been in place since March of last school year. Students at MLA are required to turn their cell phone into the front desk every morning and reterive it every day. Going forward as students enter school they will be required to show they do not have their device on them. The following consequences will happen based on the student code of conduct.

It will also cost you $15 to retreive your child's phone. Once the parent has paid for the device they can come pick it up.

It is our hope that with your support, we are able to reduce the amount of student disruptions by not having devices that distract from learning.

If your scholar has a district issued device this is a reminder that your child is to be using their clever badge to log into their device with their district approved account and not use their own personal email when they log into the device. Any student who is caught using their personal account on a district provided device will have their device confiscated and will receive a Friday afternoon detention. If a student commits a second offence, in school suspension will be assigned.

Our next awards will be January 17th. Times for the grade levels celebrations are as follows:

9:00 to 10:00 Pre-K 4 through 2nd Grade

10:00 to 11:00 3rd through 6th Grade

All updated shot records need to be given to Ms. Martinez before Thanksgiving break. If oyu ahave any questions please reach out to Ms. Martinez.
