January 21, 2025
A Message from Ms. Peterson
Hello MCP3 Families!
I hope everyone stayed warm today during this extreme cold. We are looking forward to coming back to school tomorrow! Please be sure scholars are appropriately dressed for the weather and have their washed blanket for nap. Scholars may wear a long sleeved solid color shirt (red, white, blue, black, gray) underneath their MCP3 uniform shirt, an MCP fleece/sweatshirt or a navy blue cardigan to help stay warm.
Scholars will be taking their Mid-year benchmark assessment this week with their teacher. They will be asked to demonstrate various skills such as identifying colors, shapes, letters, numbers and creating patterns. Results from the benchmark assessment will be shared with you at conferences. We are excited to share the growth your scholar(s) has made so far this year!
Our Educational Assistants are working together this year to plan our Black HIstory month activities and events. More details will come about parent involvement and other events soon!
Here are some important reminders and updates:
