Picture Retake Day is coming up next Wednesday, October 19th. These pictures are for those that need to get pictures taken for the first time or for students who need to get them retaken due to a problem with picture quality. If students need to get them retaken, they need to return the old picture that day. Again, it is very important that every student has a picture taken for Skyward and also for the yearbook. For seniors, we also send these pictures off to local newspapers who request them. Here is the link to order pictures if you haven't already ordered them this year. http://alymaeimages.hhimagehost.com/RetakeMCHSMCJHS

Have you purchased Chromebook insurance yet? There were two Chromebooks within the last week with broken screens, which will cost $100 each because they did not have insurance. The new touch screens will cost even more. The open enrollment period for the Chromebook insurance closes on October 17th. You can purchase the insurance online at schooldevicecoverage.com or pick up a paper order form at the school. Either way, make sure you have your child's Chromebook serial number available. It is usually listed on the back next to SN. Good vision or a magnifying glass will help. Reach out to the school with any questions you may have.
