Dear MCC Parents/Guardians, The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has extended the free summer meal program for students through December 31, 2020 or until the funds run out. This program will provide free meals for all Murray County Central School students in grades Pre-Kindergarten –grade 12 Monday through Friday when school is in session. Students that are taking virtual learning through MCC using “Educere” are also eligible for this free meal program. Meals will not be delivered, but can be picked up at the high school at a designated window of time. In order to schedule meal pick up please contact Elissa Wieneke at 507-836-8360 or elissa_wieneke@mcc.mntm.org. The free meals for all students will start on Monday, September 14th and will continue until December 31, 2020 or until funds run out from the USDA. At the conclusion of this program, your lunch status will return to free / reduced or paid, as determined by your completion of the Application for Educational Benefits. Any extra entrees or milk beyond the free meal will be charged as it normally would be. It is important that families continue to fill out the free and reduced lunch application otherwise known as “Application for Educational Benefits”. https://mcc.onlinejmc.com/Parent/meals_application.aspx This needs to be completed each year because the benefits do not carry over to the new school year. If your family qualifies you will receive school meals at no charge when this program ends. Filling out this form is also extremely beneficial to our school district because the more students that qualify, the more compensatory revenues our district will receive. We can use this money to help keep our class sizes small and offer opportunities that directly benefit our students. Please contact the district office with any questions.

Please bring a mask to tonight’s eligibility meeting for the Fall practice season! If you attended the cross country meeting you do not need to attend. Football is at 5:30 and Volleyball is at 6:00. Both meetings will be held at the football grandstands! The cost is $25 made out to: ISD 2169! Only one parent needs to attend! Thank you and Go Rebels!

Homecoming 2020 is September 21-25. Homecoming buttons are being sold for $2.00 and can be bought from a Student Council representative, in the Community Ed Office or from your homeroom teacher K-6. https://www.mcc.mntm.org/o/murray-county-central-schools/browse/166060

The Minnesota Department of Health is developing a COVID Parent Screening Tool. This tool will provide guidance for when to keep your children home from school due to illness and/or COVID exposure. As soon as I receive this screening tool, it will be made available and should be used to screen your children for COVID symptoms. Prior to sending your children to school, a daily COVID screening must be conducted. Please see the link below for the most current COVID symptoms. https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/materials/symptoms.pdf For any questions or concerns related to illness, please contact the health office at 507-836-6184 ext. 5111 for West and 4120 for Central. The health office will assist you with determining when your children may return to school. Please do not send your children or their siblings to school if they have been exposed to COVID or are exhibiting any COVID symptoms. In Health, Amanda Tentinger LSN PHN

Good Afternoon, This is just a reminder for all students to bring a water bottle to drink out of during the school day. Our water filling stations will be open but the drinking fountains will not be able to be used. MCC has ordered water bottles for all students and they will be handed out once they arrive. Please only bring water bottles that are clear/transparent. Thank you.

Getting Ready For Band at MCC!

Good Afternoon, Schedules for students in grades 7-12 have been emailed out to all families. This year we will not be handing out paper schedules on the first day of school as we have done in the past. Please make sure your child knows their schedule and/or has a copy or way to access it. Thank you.

Good Morning, Any K-12 students in MCC's Virtual Academy may pick up their school issued computers tomorrow, Friday September 4th, from 7:30am-3:00pm at the Central High School front doors.
