Student Medications at School Reminder
If your child requires medications to be given at school, please make sure to fill out the Medication Order and Parent Release Form filled out and signed by the physician. Form available HERE. Please also make sure to bring the medication in when returning the completed form.
Attendance
If your child is going to be absent, please call 916-630-1510, ext. 302 or email tfernandes@mmcharter.org. It is best to send a message or email before school starts if possible so that the office does not need to contact you during the day to verify the absence! During school hours, ask for the attendance line. After business hours, please call and press the attendance line extension.
As a public school, M.M.C.A. is required by law to enforce California’s compulsory attendance laws. Attendance is VITAL to your child’s success in school. State-approved “excused” absences include: illness, medical appointments, religious holidays, religious ceremonies, and bereavement purposes. Most everything else is considered an “unexcused” absence.

Volunteer Opportunities:
Afterschool Club Leaders: Our first round of after school clubs will start in September.. Individual clubs usually last for one hour after school and go for six weeks. So far, we have a Karate Club (with belting) and an Art Club ready, and we’re looking for a couple more clubs.
