After school in the
High School Cafeteria
Friday, August 22, 2008.
Teachers, please collect emergency contact cards and free and reduced lunch applications. Security will come by to pick up these items. Additionally, please include all FERPA and media release forms.
Students, you must re-apply for free and reduced lunch each school year. Juniors and Seniors, remember that fee waivers for college applications and exams may be based on your lunch applications. STUDENTS TURN THOSE APPLICATIONS IN!!!
Students, you will only be released to those individuals who are named on your emergency contact card. Please return those cards as soon as possible.
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. Cheron. 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!!! If you have any questions regarding attendance please speak to Mrs. Forteza in the Student Services Office.
STUDENTS, PLEASE ADJUST YOUR WATCHES TO THE TIME HERE AT MLEC. TARDIES TO SCHOOL ARE BASED ON JAGUAR TIME, NOT YOUR TIME!
Students, you are required to wear your Academy Uniform and adhere to the dress code policy. All students must display their Student ID. Students not complying with the uniform policy will serve an ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION! Detentions are served Fridays, after school.
Information regarding attendance and uniforms can be found in the Parent/Student Handbook which you received yesterday.
ALL SENIORS THAT NEED TO MAKE UP CREDITS IN NIGHT SCHOOL IN ORDER TO GRADUATE IN JUNE MUST SEE THEIR GUIDANCE COUNSELOR BEFORE OR AFTER SCHOOL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO OBTAIN THE REQUIRED FORM.

The Principal’s Word of the Day is
AUDACITY (aw DAS i tee) n boldness; reckless daring; impertinence
Edgar’s soaring leap off the top of the building was an act of great audacity.
