For November, our PBIS theme is Gratitude! Throughout the month, students will be encouraged to reflect on what they’re thankful for and celebrate the positives in their lives. Personally, I’m incredibly grateful for this wonderful community—thank you all for your continued support and partnership!
Speaking of thanks, we owe a big thank you to our Co-Chairs of Trunk or Treat, Katie Price and Patricia Valencia for a wonderful event! Additionally, thank you to all of our homeroom parents for your support of the scarecrows and fall parties. October was one for the books at MCH!
As a reminder, Conferences are scheduled for Thanksgiving week:
- Monday, 11/25 from 1-4 PM
- Tuesday, 11/26 from 1-4 & 5-8 PM
- Wednesday, 11/27 from 8-11 AM
Students will have early dismissal at 12:10 PM on these days, and lunch will NOT be served. There is NO SCHOOL from Wednesday, 11/27 to Friday, 11/29.
Take care,
Principal Pavlo
