Student Council|
 The Mt. Comfort Elementary Student Council is raising funds again this year for Riley Children's Hospital. Mt. Comfort Elementary has a LONG history of being a great donor for Riley. Our $1 hat days will be used as donations for our school. In addition, families and students can become part of our online team to seek donations as well! More information below.
We are hosting a fundraising campaign to benefit kids and families who need Riley, Indiana’s only nationally-ranked, comprehensive children’s research hospital. All proceeds from this event directly benefit Riley Children's Health.
We are excited to be involved in this important philanthropic work and have volunteered time and energy throughout the year to raise money for Riley. We are very passionate about Riley and know that the work we are doing is making a difference!
We would love for you to be a part of our success this year, in fact, we can't do it without you! Will you please help us reach our fundraising goal for the kids?
Making a donation to our team is fast, easy, and secure. You can be sure that your gift is important and making an impact for kids and families who need Riley's world-class pediatric health care.
You can even join our team and create your own individual fundraising page to share with family and friends.

 MV Reads
Parents:
The Mt. Comfort Library would like to thank you and your students for taking good care of library books this year. As we approach the end of the year, we need your assistance to help find any missing library books or pay for lost books. ALL LIBRARY BOOKS ARE DUE! Please note, we never charge an overdue fine. The only fee charged would be for a lost or destroyed book. Parents can pay for lost/damaged library books via MVCSC’s eFunds link. Click on PAY for Optional Fees, then choose Lost/Damaged Library Books. You can always send in cash or a check made out to Mt. Comfort Elementary as well. Keep looking under those beds and in the car!

Hours/Arrival/Dismissal|
7:15 AM-Car riders and bus riders allowed in the building
7:35 AM- Car rider line closed-must enter main entrance and will be marked tardy
2:00 PM- Car riders and day care riders start dismissal (1:15 on Wednesday)
2:05 PM- Bus riders start dismissal (1:20 on Wednesday)
Car Rider Line Safety & Efficiency
In efforts to maintain safety, we need children to be ready to exit the car in the morning. If your student is not ready, the line can be delayed. In order to prevent delays, you may be asked to circle back around if your student is not ready when it is their turn.
Please do not get out of the car to assist your student, as this delays the line and is a safety hazard. If you need to get out of your car to help, you may be asked to park or circle back around so that the line can continue moving.
Vehicles should not pass or go around other cars unless school personnel is present and waves you around.
Please work with your student on getting in the car and fastening seat belts quickly. Adults getting out of the car creates a safety concern.
Morning Arrival Tips
Many MCE families have chosen to use our car line. Efficiency in our line improved greatly over the past year. A few things that you can do to help include:
- Move car seats to the side of the car where your student enters and exits.
- Help your child learn how to manage the buckle independently (the goal is for all adults to stay in the vehicle).
- Make sure the book bag and other supplies are close to your child so they can grab them quickly.
- Pull all the way up (to the cone or the nearest car in front of you).
- We do not dismiss students one at a time in front of the main entrance (even if it’s raining, snowing, or cold).
Afternoon Dismissal Expectations
- All students need to get in on the right side of the car.
- Students should be able to close their door and buckle on their own.
- You will be asked to keep the car line moving.
- If you need extra time to buckle your child, please pull ahead and park in a parking spot to secure your student before heading out.
We really enjoy seeing our families at arrival and dismissal! Thank you for your help in making our car rider line safer and more efficient.Morning of Late Drop-Off Reminder
If you are dropping your student off after 7:35 am, you will need to drop them off at the front door. Also, adults need to come in and sign the child in as tardy. Please do not just send your child into the school.

Leaving Mt. Vernon? We Need Your Chromebook Back!
If your family knows that your student will not be returning to Mt. Vernon Community Schools for the 2026-2027 school year, please return your student-issued Chromebook, charger, and protective case to the MVCSC Technology Office next week.
Devices that are not returned will result in replacement charges being assessed to the student account, including the full replacement cost of the Chromebook, charger, and protective case.
Returning devices promptly helps us prepare technology for incoming students and avoid unnecessary fees for families. If you have questions about returning a device, please contact the Technology Department.
