Mat-Su Central
Principal Letter
November 4, 2023
Families of Mat-Su Central,
Yesterday marked a (literal) groundbreaking day in the history of our school as we celebrated the beginning of construction for our long-anticipated new building. If you missed the ceremony, you can still view video of the event on the MSBSD or Borough Facebook pages. We are thrilled to see the physical beginnings of MCS’s bright future.
As always, check out our full calendar here, and keep an eye on the website for the most up to date information. In the meantime, here are some important updates.
Quarter 1 Grades: October 18 marks the end of the first quarter, which is when grades are typically due. However, due to the ongoing construction of the Parent Portal, you will be unable to formally submit grades. In order to comply with State and District regulations, your advisor will be reaching out to discuss other ways you can collaborate on your student’s growth and proficiency for the first quarter. We want to ensure our families are receiving the support they need.
Reimbursements: Thank you for your patience as the district builds our parent portal on the fly. We know there have been significant complications, and we are working hard to make sure your concerns are addressed as quickly as possible. Your first point of contact should always be your advisor. If you are looking for an immediate answer to a technical problem, reach out to the HELP center at District offices.
On-Site Offerings: Most on-site courses for the fall session are now closed, but new Art and Music classes begin in quarter two, so be sure to check the offerings page to browse and sign up!
Tips, Tricks, and Feedback:
Did you know our library has many items that can be checked out, including used curriculum, novels, instruments, PE equipment, and much more? Try the search feature on our library page, where you have access to items both at MCS and across the MSBSD..
Did you know there is a family-created and family-run Facebook page where MCS families can ask questions and offer insight? Make sure to join if you haven’t yet!
MCS thrives thanks to the creative insights from home educators. If you have any ideas for how we can improve our program, or any encouragement for what we are doing well, please share with us here.
Honored to partner with you,
Stacey McIntosh and Nathan Chud
