*WE CARE BOX
This school year we will be introducing a new source of communication between students and the MCHS counselors. A box has been placed on the wall by the downstairs elevator.. This box is called the “WE CARE” box. It is designed to be a confidential source of communication for students to report to the Counselor’s Office other students who are in need, a danger to themselves or others, or other concerns. Concerns placed in the box are taken very seriously—please only make a report if you have a legitimate concern! Reports can be made anonymously; however, it is very helpful to have the name of the person reporting the information in the event further information is needed. If you have a legitimate concern about another student, please fill out one of the WE CARE forms located in the folder on the outside of the mailbox and drop it inside the box. The box will be checked in a timely manner.

*SCHEDULE CHANGES:
Students will meet one-on-one every January with their guidance counselor to choose your courses for the upcoming school year. Students are urged to take their course selection process VERY seriously. Get maximum information for decisions at this time since changing your selections after the fact will be very difficult. MCHS counselors will review the choices, check prerequisites and consider graduation requirements as well as college requirements.
Madison County has a NO DROP POLICY on scheduled classes. Absolutely no change of schedules will be made except for administrative/academic purposes.
*REPORT CARDS AND PROGRESS REPORTS:
All report cards and progress reports will be given to students during homeroom. Parents, it might be helpful if you write down the dates and ask your child for the report when he/she gets home! The final report card in May will be mailed to the address on file. Therefore, if your mailing address has changed, please come by the Counselor's office to provide the appropriate residency information.
*PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES:
Parents, anytime you want to meet with your child's teachers, please do not hesitate to contact your child's counselor. She will set up a time for you to meet with them before school or after school. Don't forget we encourage you to stay in close contact with your child's teachers via telephone or e-mail as well!
*ACTIVE PARENT REGISTRATION:
You may now access your student’s weekly class averages, attendance, schedule and school news information by setting up an Active Parent Online account.
