MCP Track / Field Day

This will be the last week of athletics for the year. Thank you to all of our scholar-athletes for their participation, to our coaches for their time and energy, and to our families for their support and patience this year.


Track Meet 5/23 @ Aug Prep - 4:30 Field Events - 4:45 Running Events

Fan attendance at track meets is limited to parents/adults and scholar-athletes. Scholars that are not participating in track should be supervised with a parent/guardian at all times. Middle School scholars are not allowed to be dropped off at Aug Prep to hang out with their friends. There has been an increase of incidents between scholars at track meets and athletic events and we appreciate your help ensuring the safety of our scholar-athletes and fans alike. Thank you.

Fast Food Lunches

Fast Food Lunches

We kindly request your support in upholding our wellness policy by providing nutritious lunches for your children, while discouraging the inclusion of fast food. However, we understand that there may be exceptional circumstances or special occasions where fast food is necessary. In such instances, we urge parents to consider healthier alternatives, such as subs. Please be aware that our guidelines regarding the prohibition of soda and portion sizes apply universally, whether the lunch is brought from home or purchased from a fast food establishment.


In order to maintain an environment conducive to focused learning, MCP has instituted a policy that strictly prohibits the delivery of food by third-party companies, including but not limited to; UberEats, Grubhub, and DoorDash. Additionally, attempts to deliver food by individuals not identified on the scholar's MCP profile will be denied. Likewise, we cannot accept or accommodate food deliveries made by parents/ guardians after the scholar's designated lunch period has ended. Any such deliveries will either be declined or disposed of accordingly. It is important to emphasize that MCP lacks the necessary refrigeration space and oversight to safely monitor food left for scholars outside of the specified policy guidelines outlined above.
