MCE UPDATES

Thankful Thursdays

Thankful Thursdays at MCE!

Throughout November, we’re celebrating Thankful Thursdays at MCE! Each Thursday, November 19, and 26, we’ll be sharing heartfelt messages from our MCE families and community members to recognize the amazing staff who make our school such a special place!

We want to hear from YOU!

Is there a current MCE staff member who has made a difference in your child's life? Maybe it's a teacher who goes above and beyond, an assistant who always offers encouragement, an office staff member who greets everyone with a smile, a cafeteria team member who serves our students with care, a bus driver who safely gets our Buccaneers to and from school, or a custodian who helps make our school shine!

Take a moment to share why you're thankful for any MCE staff member! Whether it's a special memory, a kind gesture, or simply a few words of appreciation, your message can make someone's day!

How Thankful Thursdays Work:

  • Messages will be collected each Sunday and shared with staff the following Thursday.
  • For example, messages submitted by Sunday, November 15, will be shared on Thursday, November 19.
  • We'll continue sharing messages each Thursday throughout November.
  • The form will close on Sunday, November 22.

Every message will be shared directly with the staff member being recognized, giving them a little extra reason to smile this November!

Thank you for helping us spread kindness, celebrate gratitude, and recognize the incredible people who make MCE a wonderful place for our Buccaneers to learn and grow!

Let's fill November with THANKS!

District News

Dear MVCSC Families, 

Over the next few weeks, Mt. Vernon schools will be conducting annual hearing screenings for students: 

  • Enrolled in grades K, 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th.

  • Who have transferred into the school corporation.

  • Who are suspected of having a hearing defect or who failed their last annual screening.

  • Children already identified as having a hearing loss will not be screened.

Parents/guardians will be notified ONLY if the child fails any part of the hearing screening and requires follow-up via a letter sent home with their child. Students who fail will undergo a rescreening in the following weeks. If a child fails the rescreen, parents/guardians will be notified via a letter sent home or a ParentSquare message.

A hearing screening is not a substitute for a comprehensive hearing examination by an audiologist. If you have any concerns about your child’s hearing, contact a hearing care professional about a hearing examination. 

For questions, please contact your school’s Speech-Language Pathologist.
