A Message from the Principal

We will soon be stepping out of winter and into fall...but until then, continue to bundle up as the brisk winter's air is still looming.  The month of February is filled with State testing, winding up the second trimester and the last 2 Visitor Days at MLC before applications are due.  Families are reminded that the application dealine is Friday, February 24th.  Current MLC families must submit applications by the deadline for any sibling you wish to enroll.  Please be aware that applications are accepted throughout the year; however, priority is given to families that meet the February 24th deadline.

Finally, I'm excited to announce that I will be publishing a monthly newsletter "From the Principal's Desk."  This will be my opportunity to keep you up-to-date on what's happening at MLC, keep you posted about things to come and tell you about what's going on in the classrooms. In addition to that I will now be hosting a monthly "Tea with Traynham" which will give parents the opportunity to meet with me about various topics of their choice and for me to share what's happening at MLC. I will host the first "Tea with Traynham" on Friday, February 17th at 8:30am in the cafeteria. I look forward to seeing you there!
