Mrs. Dahringer’s 3rd grade class on a virtual field trip to Porcupine Mts., studying Michigan History! Wow!
Thanks to the USDA for extending the Summer Food Program through the end of the year. All MCC children will receive free breakfasts and lunches. Please still take the time to fill out the Food Applications!
I am so thankful and proud of the patience, understanding and kindness of our MCC Upper Elementary parents. It’s so new and strange dropping your children at the door and not being able to just pop in. Your trust in us is humbling and makes us an even stronger Spartan Family. It’s only been 2 days, but I see it and feel it. Thank you, Mr. Kimes

Good evening! Just a reminder to our Spartan Connected families: Tomorrow, Thursday, September 3rd from 8:00 - 3:00 we will have a district wide Spartan Connected “curbside pickup” at each of the school buildings. MCC Upper Elementary families should come to the front entrance, ring the “door bell” and wait for someone to come out to assist them. You will receive agreements that need to be filled out when you arrive. We recommend parents take them back to their car and bring them back to the front entrance when finished. Once we have these you will receive materials your child will need to get started. Families that do not have WiFi and need a downloaded device will have a pick up date next week. Those families should reach out to the teacher for more information. Our Go Math books are on the way and you will need to stop back by the school to pick their’s up when they arrive...we will keep you posted.
***Please practice social distancing and wear your face mask if there are others waiting when you arrive.
Keep an eye on the website for Teacher's Back to School Videos that will be posted on Friday.
Mr. Kimes and Mrs. Merkey's messages have been posted on the website under the Upper Elementary's menu, under Back To School Videos tab!

In Mr. Kimes' Back to School Video, he talked about morning drop off times. Those times have been revised. The doors will be unlocked for your children to enter the building from 8:15 am to 8:35 am. If your child arrives after 8:35 am, you will have to call the Upper Elementary office at (231) 757-5720; and we will sign your child in.
The Upper Elementary Student/Parent Handbook and an important COVID-19 insert has been uploaded under the "Documents" heading.
Sneak peak at grade level supply lists! Lists along with teacher letters will be mailed out tomorrow.
Good Afternoon,
We have several important updates to share with you today. First you can expect to receive a letter at the beginning of next week with your child's teacher assignment and grade level supply list. We will have a "Spartan Connected Curbside Pickup" for parents to pick up everything they will need to get started this fall on Thursday September 3, from 8:00-3:00 at Upper Elementary . Spartan Connected families should expect to receive a phone call from their child's teacher this week to gather some needed information. Back to School Night will be virtual this year and be posted on the MCC App and website on Monday, August 31. Have a great evening!
MCC has put together summer learning plans for our children. Click above for “more info on Summer Learning.” Make special note in the flyer of the section “Don’t want to do it online?” You will see MCC students K-8 can pick up 4 weeks of Summer Learning Packets! VERY IMPORTANT....There are two times for packet pick up and one day only....Monday, June 22nd, 11:00-12:00 or from 5:30-6:30 at the Upper Elementary. Have a great day!
Good Morning Spartan Family! We have finally been able to set a date and time for Student Property Pickup (lockers and desks). Friday June 5th, anytime between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, you may drive through the Upper Elementary circle drive and receive curbside service. We will be practicing safety across the board so please do not leave your vehicles and use proper social distancing for those who are walkers. Our staff will come to you, gather information, then retrieve your items which have been secured in plastic bags. Our staff will be using masks, gloves and sanitizer for everyone's safety. No one is allowed in the building for any reason.
Additionally, I'd like to let you know I will be making a short "End of Year Assembly" which will be on the MCC Landing Zone, June 5th. Please schedule time to view as I will be announcing grade level behavior awards, perfect attendance awards, Parent Volunteer of the Year Award, and the prestigious "Courage of Gabe" Award. I will be sending an additional reminder next week. I hope this will be a great way to celebrate the end of a wonderful, yet unique school year!
Until then, stay safe and enjoy the last few days of learning at home, and this amazing Spartan Country weather. Sincerely, Mr. Kimes
April is Autism Awareness Month. While we are not together physically, we can still raise awareness through action, thought and praise, for all the beautiful and unique people and families touched by autism. Your courage, patience, and advocacy continues to be influential in bridging gaps of misunderstanding and in providing hope and opportunity.
Let's band together tomorrow, wear something blue, and if you choose... post a pic on your personal social media. This might be an enjoyable way to show pride and support for all those touched by autism......Spartan Style!
