Students are reminded to come to school each day on time! Students if you are absent, remember that 5 unexcused absences in an annual course, or 3 unexcused absences in a semester course, will result in a no credit (N/C) for the class.  MLEC is in a block schedule, therefore 5 unexcused absences in an annual course WILL result in 10 unexcused absences and WILL result in a no credit being issued, and 3 unexcused absences in a semester course will equal six absences and also result in a no credit.  Remember if you are absent you MUST bring a note and receive an admit to excuse your absence. Admits are issued in the Student Services Office prior to the start of school each day and during lunch and after school in the Main Office with Ms. Wellman. Do not be absent unnecessarily
Students arriving tardy to school must sign in at the Tardy Center. Students with excessive tardies will be required to serve an Administrative Detention.  BE ON TIME!!! AND COME TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY!!! 

The Principal’s Word of the Day is
FETTER (FET ur) v to restrain; to hamper
In pursuit of the Nobel Prize for physics, Professor Jenkins was fettered by his near-total ignorance of the subject.
To be unfettered is to be unrestrained or free of hindrances.
When his parents went to Europe for a few months, James invited all his friends for some unfettered partying in the empty house.
A fetter is literally a chain ( attached to the foot) that is used to restrain a criminal or, for that matter , an innocent person.
