A Message from Ms. Peterson
Hello MCP3 Families,
Our scholars and staff have enjoyed the ABC Countdown to Summer! It has been fun to see scholars dancing in and popping bubbles for B, enjoying a yummy cookie for C, and getting so excited for experiments for E! Please join us in the fun and send your scholar in a hat on Friday for H! It would also be helpful to send in an empty toilet paper or paper towel roll as scholars will be creating a kaleidoscope for K next week!
Scholars have also been demonstrating mastered skills on their end of year benchmark assessment. It has been great seeing so much growth from the year!
We hope to see you all this Friday from 4:30-6:00 for our Spring "People who love us" event!
Here are some important reminders and updates:
Spring People Who Love Us- Event- This Friday!!
MCP3 will be hosting a People Who Love Us Event ~ on Friday, 5/15 from 4:30pm-6:00pm. Please plan to join your scholar and bring the loved ones! This is a great opportunity for the family and close loved ones to enjoy creative activities together! Snacks, crafting, games, and more! Be sure to check out the flyer below!
Upcoming Parking Lot Construction
We are excited to share that construction will begin soon in the parking lot of our MCP Lola Rowe North campus. We are participating in the Fresh Coast Green Communities program which funds design, construction, and maintenance of green stormwater infrastructure through the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District. Our site will be receiving a new underground storage system that will hold almost 300,000 gallons of stormwater during every big storm. We're helping keep water out of our neighbor's basements and protect Lake Michigan. We're also updating our landscaping along the north side of the parking lot and all along Teutonia. These new plants will be tolerant to road salt and help clean the air around our campus.
During construction, the northern entrance off Teutonia will be closed. The northern portion of our parking lot will be fenced off and be inaccessible during construction. The southern entrance will remain open at all times. The southern area of the parking lot will remain accessible. There will be a few days where new pipe is being laid where some work will extend out of the fenced area. These areas will be coned off on this day and will occur over the summer outside of the school year. The project will be substantially complete by September 15 with everything wrapped up by the end of October.
We appreciate your patience in the coming months as the Fresh Coast Green Communities program works to improve our sewage system.
What this means for K3 Families and Drop off and Pick up:
- There will be one designated entrance and exit for the remainder of the school year
- Families/daycare MUST follow the flow of traffic (cones will be set up) and park in a parking spot
- Increased congestion in the parking lot is expected- please plan accordingly and be patient
- K3 Scholars must still be walked into and out of the building, signed in/out of their class for arrival and dismissal
MCP3 Completion Ceremony ~Save the Date
MCP3 will celebrate our class of 2040 in a K3 completion ceremony on June 10th at 9:00am in the Lola Rowe North Campus Gym. Here are a few details regarding our completion ceremony so that it runs smoothly and everyone is safe:
- Scholars may come dressed up
- Scholars will NOT be wearing caps/gowns in order to limit unnecessary distractions
- Balloons are NOT allowed in the gym
- Scholars MUST walk back to their classrooms with their teacher after the ceremony to ensure an accurate headcount. Families may sign their child out from the classroom upon completion of the ceremony. Parents may NOT take their child from the ceremony or from the gym.
- Parents and family members are asked to remain in the designated "guest" area to NOT interrupt the ceremony
