MCMS students gathered for See You at the Pole yesterday in observance of this national prayer rally where students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God. See You at the Pole™ is a student-initiated, student-organized, and student-led event. The event at our school was sponsored by FCA and led by the FCA student leaders, and donuts were provided by New Providence Baptist Church. Thank you to all who joined in and supported the effort. It was such a great morning!



TOMORROW! The MCMS FCA Club will host SYATP this year on Wednesday, Sept 25, at the flagpole in front of the school beginning at 7am. All students, staff, and community members are invited to attend this student led time of prayer for our students, our schools, and our nation.


Don't forget that tomorrow is Picture Day at MCMS! This is for all students, and these pictures will be used for the yearbook. There will only be make ups for students who are absent or new students so please plan accordingly.


Please join us tomorrow night at the Monroe County Fine Arts Center as our MCMS Choirs present their Fall Concert! The concert will begin at 6pm, and admission is free. We hope to see everyone there!


MCMS FFA members Chip Barfield, Logan Bertram, Hunter Dickerson, and Daphnie Miller traveled to Camp John Hope to compete in the Area Land Judging Competition. They placed 3rd in a very rigorous competition! Please congratulate this team for their outstanding accomplishment!

Attention 7th grade parents:
Emails were sent out last week to 7th grade parents whose students are missing updated certificates of immunization, and as of today, we still have over 200 outstanding. As a reminder, the deadline is September 1, and students must have the updated Georgia Certificate of Immunization Form 3231 in order to remain in school . If a student isn't up to date with the immunizations, including the MCV4 and TDAP, you will need to make an appointment with your child's doctor. Please get these in ASAP to prevent any interruption in your student's enrollment. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter if you haven't already submitted the required form.
*If you did not receive an email last week, your student is likely up to date, but please check your spam folder to be sure.


Please note that effective Monday, August 12, carpool pick up will begin using the number system. The black numbers that students currently have will no longer be utilized; however, new ones will be distributed today and tomorrow.
Thank you for your compliance in placing these numbers in a prominent, visible spot and for your patience with our efforts to make carpool as seamless and efficient as possible.
