COVID-19 Update
Cumulative Case count (since 1st day of school): (14)
COVID-19 is still around, and we’re anticipating that we will have a lot of cases over the next four months. From the start of school to now, we’ve had (14) total cases. Within the last three weeks, we’ve had (9) cases. We’ve also had a lot of kids out sick with ‘normal’ stuff like colds, etc. Rocklin Unified is using the CDC COVID tracker as the basis of what they’re communicating to their families regarding case count - if the CDC tracker for Placer County gets too ‘high’ again, they will start sending ‘group contact COVID notices’ again to their families (for context, Placer County is currently ‘low’ on the CDC COVID tracker). We are going to follow their lead on this. Additionally, with cases rising, I will be updating our case count within our weekly flyers as well.
COVID-19 rapid read antigen tests available
The state has provided us COVID tests for +/- all of our students and staff. If you’d like a free COVID test, please feel free to stop by the front office and pick one up.
Next round of School Uniform Orders coming up
We’re going to be placing our next round of school uniform orders next week. Given on-going supply chain issues with our vendor, the turnaround time is longer than usual (approximately 4-6 weeks). The next deadline for an order will be Wednesday, November 9th. School Uniforms can be ordered via the store on our website, link HERE.
Annual Board of Directors Elections Coming up
Each year MMCA seeks parents interested in taking an active role in the governance of the school by serving as a MMCA Board member. A Board member serves a two-year term which fulfills their family’s annual 40-hour volunteer requirement.
The Board of Directors defines the mission of the school and clarifies its philosophy. In conjunction with the Executive Director, the Board establishes the financial, educational, and operational goals of MMCA and ensures that they are achieved annually. The Board may be involved in facility planning, review and approval of legal documents, annual operating budgets, and staffing decisions.
The Application and candidate information packet for the upcoming election is available HERE. If you have any questions about possibly becoming a Board Member, please feel free to contact Board President Chris Ward at cgward1974@gmail.com or Mr. Boothby at brent@mmcharter.org. The deadline for submitting applications is Friday, 12/2/22.
