The Odyssey
November 15, 2024
From the Principal
Hello MQSCA Families-
We have an important message about the parent power school access. We need to temporarily pause access to PowerSchool effective today, Friday, November 15, 2024 due to a technology glitch. We ask for your patience as we work through this matter. We will communicate with you when PowerSchool access is restored.
The School Advisory Board is seeking more school families to get involved! They would like to form a Decorating Committee that will collaborate with SAB and other members of the school community to organize decorations for various events. Examples of such events include school dances, the Christmas and Fourth of July float decorations, and the 8th-grade graduation. Sign up for the Committee here.
Please note that being part of this committee does not mean you are solely responsible for all decorating tasks; we will still ask for help. The committee will primarily be responsible for organizing materials, themes, and other aspects of the decorating process.
We are looking for volunteers to help donate items and decorate the MQSCA Christmas Float on the afternoon of December 7th. Those interested are invited to meet at MQSCA on Saturday at noon to assist with the decoration. If you'd like to volunteer, please email Mr. Lee at leen@mqscateacher.org, text him at 414-301-2725, or message him via ClassDojo. More information will be provided as the date approaches.
In Christ-
Mr. Lee
