MCC School and Buses will be two hours late on Friday, October 27, 2023.
MCC Families,
We hope it's not needed, but it is that time of the year so we want to remind parents about our E-Learning Days.
We can utilize up to 5 in a school year if we need to close school due to weather.
Here is the link to E-Learning Information if we do need to utilize an E-Learning Day: https://bit.ly/3U1Ib43
Elementary teachers sent home folders that should contain work for your child. High School students should use their Chromebooks to access Google Classroom. There may be some college classes that require student to use Zoom or Google Meets due to seat time requirements.
If we utilize an E-Learning Day we will do an announcement to families either the night before or around 6:30 a.m. on the day of closure.
The link above provides a guide that should answer general questions.
Thank you!
The Playoff Volleyball game in Baudette has been moved to a 6:00 start time. We will start as close to 6:00 as we can.

Attention MCC Horse Route Families:
Effective Monday, October 23, we will be moving our Petro Pumper bus stop to Hardware Hank in Thief River Falls. Petro Pumper stop has served us well for nearly 20 years, but to increase safety we are moving the stop to Hardware Hank on the other side of the highway. This bus stop has less traffic at both times of our stop and will be much safer for us to load/unload students.
