Here is a message from our PTC: Welcome back, MCC Family! We’re happy to report that the Parent-Teacher Committee (PTC) is still alive and well, despite the craziness of the last couple years. We’ve shifted gears during Covid, doing our monthly meetings on Zoom, and focused on creative new projects like last year’s Spartan apparel sale among other things to continue supporting MCC, our great staff and administrators, and the wonderful kiddos. We can’t wait to put on big events like the Color Run again though- sooner or later! The PTC is in need of new members! We’ve got several very dedicated and talented officers right now, but it does take a village- if you’re passionate about MCC and the kiddos, drop in to a meeting or reach out to us on Facebook! It’s a good group and a great opportunity to get involved and give back. Here’s to a healthy and happy 2022! The PTC Board- Aaron DeKuiper, Rosanna Van Wyck, and Sarah Mathews

Dear MCC School Family, At the end of the day today, Thursday, December 9th, Middle School Staff and Administration were made aware of a rumored threat from an MCC Middle School Student. The Scottville Police Department was notified immediately to help us determine if the rumor was true and a threat could be verified. The student in question, along with his parents were paid a visit at home by Chief Murphy of the Scottville PD. From the investigation/threat assessment, it was determined that the rumor was NOT credible and was started by another student or students entirely. Let me make this perfectly clear... there is NOT a threat toward the school as rumored. It is unfortunate that we now have to deal with the student(s) that is/are the source of the rumor and said student(s) could face severe consequences at school and possibly within the courts as such a hurtful and untrue rumor can completely disrupt a school system, cause deep community concern, heightened anxiety and a waste of public safety/ school resources. Parents, please have a conversation with your children about how words can have serious consequences and never is there a time to even joke about something as serious as a school shooting. And Students, we thank you for sharing what you heard at school or on the bus this afternoon so we could be sure to track any threat or rumor down and assure our schools remain a safe place to learn and grow. As we often say: If you see or hear something that could hurt you or others... PLEASE TELL US. Thank you Chief Murphy for running down every lead to get to the bottom of this unfortunate and completely avoidable situation.
