Good news. I received word from the Chromebook insurance company that they are extending the deadline to enroll your student's device until the end of October, but don't wait. If the student device is not enrolled prior to the claim, it will not be covered. We have already had six claims this year that ranged from $100 - $300. The conversation with the student is much easier knowing they have insurance. We can get them back on the road without loss of instructional time. Again, the insurance costs $20 per year and covers accidental damage, cracked screen, liquid submersion, fire, flood, and loss/theft. To enroll, go to schooldevicecoverage.com or stop by the school to pick up an enrollment form. If you have any questions, you can contact the school office at 618-262-5104.

The halls were filled with several Alumni at Mount Carmel High School this Saturday. Great stories were shared! Part of the tour stopped in the library for me to take a pic. Several folks broke off and conducted their personal tour. Go Aces!
Just a reminder to all students attending the Homecoming Dance at the City Park Shelter this weekend. Parking at the Fairgrounds is closed due to a private event. Please take advantage of the WVC parking lot shuttle for your memorable night. Parent drop off and pick up is also a great option. Be safe Aces!
For those students attending the Homecoming Dance at the City Park Shelter this Saturday, parking will be limited. We will be offering off-site parking at Wabash Valley College (near the Fitness Center) with a shuttle to the dance (masks must be worn on the shuttle). The shuttle will run 7-7:30 and 10-10:30. We strongly encourage students to carpool as much as possible and use parental drop off as needed.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the 1981 State Championship Football Team. This year we were able to purchase uniforms as a tribute to that team and the other great Aces teams of the past. We would like to thank our “Outfit an Ace” corporate sponsors for making these "Throwback" uniforms possible. Come check them out tomorrow night!
Be on the lookout for flamingos! MCHS FBLA has started one of their fall fundraisers. No yard is off limits, even the sponsor's!
