Hello, MCP Families!

We are proud to offer a vaccination clinic at each campus this year. This is for any state school-required vaccine your scholar may miss, COVID and influenza. This is not limited to scholars; it is for staff/scholars/families. Each campus is holding a clinic. You can attend any date at any campus that works for your schedule. Please register using the links below the campus and date of your choosing.

North Campus: Tuesday, October 24, 2023 from 3:00 pm-5:00 pm

Please completely read the flyer below for all the details and what to bring to your vaccine appointment.

Thank you,

Nurse Bailey

It is time for our 8th-grade families to begin the application process for high school!! The first step is shadowing high schools of interest.
