All students will need a parent or guardian to come in to drop off their child at the MCC classroom they will be attending.
For the safety of your child, parents/designated guardians will sign-in/sign-out their children in the morning and in the afternoon. It is recommended that students arrive 10-15 minutes before class begins.
Participants will be informed via email where their classes are held. If someone other than the registered designated guardian will be picking your student up, arrangements will be made in advance with approved documentation. View campus maps.
