Parent Night & Updated AP Policy

Dear MCHS Parents:

As students move from one grade level to the next, it is often hard to know exactly what they need to meet their academic goals.  Because of this, we will be offering a Parent Night on Tuesday, February 12. 

The focus of this night is to inform parents of opportunities available to MCHS students and to answer any questions that parents might have.  School counselors, principals, and teachers will be available to answer questions on such issues as ACT testing and prep, Dual Credit, AP offerings, Industry Certificates/Technical Education, Summer Enrichment Programs, Freshman 101, Paying for College 101, Career Academy, Quest Academy, and other topics.  We will also be available to answer any questions concerning registration for the 2019-2020 school year. 

You may choose from the 2 time frames below.  Each will begin with a general session in the Auditorium of the Performing Arts Center and will then move to breakout sessions of your choice within the main building.

Updated AP Policy

The SBDM Council has revamped the AP Policy at MCHS.  We want to call to attention to the part that states parents/teacher/students will meet to discuss the class before the student registers for the class.  After some discussion it was decided that this is something that is beneficial to parents. AP teachers will be on hand at our Parent Night to complete this requirement.

The other part of the AP Policy discusses transferring out of the classes.  We have had multiple students ask to transfer out of AP courses this year, and this causes stresses to the master schedule.  The master schedule is built off of students’ requests, and significant amount of schedule request changes cannot be supported. 

The goal of the AP Policy is to strengthen the AP Program by informing parents and students of the AP course’s goals before the student registers for the course.  Be sure to stop by one of the breakout sessions to learn more!

Please let me know if you have any questions!
