Good Afternoon MCMS Families!

Happy Fall!  We hope you and your family are enjoying the official start of the fall season.  Last week, we welcomed a lot of guests to our campus for several different events.  We had Janet's Planet, CSI, MCMS PTO and SIC meetings, Volleyball games, Grits for Grands, and our Hispanic Heritage Month Assembly.  Some of our parents and grandparents were on campus multiple times.  We appreciate your support and involvement, you are one of the many reasons why MCMS is a great school!

This is a great time of the year to make sure students are staying on track and performing well in their academics.  We are quickly approaching the end of the first quarter of the school year.  We will have Parent/Teacher conferences on October 13th.  Be on the look out for more information for your child's teacher on scheduling a meeting.  

Stay connected with your child's academic progress by monitoring grades on the Parent Portal.  Our teachers update grades weekly to make sure you and your child are receiving valuable feedback.  Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions related to grades.

Mindset of the Week- Everything is Possible

The Everything Is Possible Mindset teaches that we are all capable of living extraordinary lives. Students will learn that everything which exists today was once just an idea until someone believed it was possible and took the actions to make it into reality. This is true with our lives as well – they become, in many ways, whatever we expect them to be.

Throughout the lessons for this mindset, we work with students to help them understand the incredible promise of their lives, and to envision extraordinary happiness, meaning and success on their own terms. We seek to instill the belief that their goals are possible, and to foster the courage, discipline and persistence to act on achieving their dreams.

Parent and Student Survey

This year, the School District of Newberry County will be going through re-accreditation through the Cognia company.  This week, students and parents will be taking a brief survey that assists with gathering valuable data for this re-accreditation.  Please look out for an email from Dr. Dobyns related to this survey.

We would like to congratulate the following students for being selected for the 2023 - 2024 MCMS Academic Team:

Sophia Hunter, Evelyn Mitchell, Dillon Wicker, Dennis Caughman, Alex Bunce, Jasmine Bundrick, Tripp Meredith, Lillian Farmer, Aiden Farmer, Tyler Kitchen, Elliott Skeen, Melinda Mattox, Thomas Boozer, Aaron Sasser, Eleanor Kitchens, Easton Milstead, and Manager:  Michael Mattox

We are look forward to competitions and seeing your success! 

PTO Needs Parents

The MCMS Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) will host its next meeting on Monday, October 2nd at 5:30 PM in the Media Center.  We are looking for more parents to assist with this group. Please contact Dr. Dobyns, pdobyns@sdnc.org, if you have any questions about either group.
