IMPORTANT INFORMATION

School Times – Middle School is from 8:10am until 3:10pm.  Any student arriving after 8:10am is late. Students must be accompanied by a parent when arriving late. Thank you to all our wonderful parents who are entering campus via the Woodruff Farm Soccer Complex for student drop off and pick up!!!

Transportation – Requests for bus passes must be completed by parents on the MCSD website.  Click the “Bus Stops” link and enter your address to find your child’s bus information.  Write it down and give to your child so they will know their bus number, pick up times and location.  Expect delays the first day/week of school.  No child will be turned away from the bus stop because they do not have a bus pass. 

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to call the school at 706-569-3740.
