MCDC News

MCDC Families and Staff:

MCDC will be closed Monday and Tuesday, since those are holidays.  In the event of a government shutdown that goes beyond that, MCDC will remain open since NASA provided utilities are funded through January and other operating costs are paid by tuitions, not federal funds.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thank you.

MCDC Families and Staff:

Due to the executive order given by the President to close all federal agencies on Monday December 24, 2018; MCDC will be closed as well.  I wish you the happiest and safest holiday!!

MCDC Families,

I hope your Tuesday is running like a Tuesday and not a Monday! J

Reminder: Budget Vote is tomorrow morning from 7:30am-8:30am in my office Room 104.  There will be a board member here to answer any questions you may have about the budget.  We do have to have a 10% quorum, so please make plans to stop by and vote!

Thanksgiving Lunch is this Thursday at 11am!

• Our annual Thanksgiving Lunch will be held on Thursday November 15th at 11:00am.  MCDC will provide Turkey, Drinks and Paper Products.  We ask families to sign up for side dishes and desserts.  There is a signup sheet available on the front desk right as you walk in.  Please indicate how many ADULTS will be in attendance and what you plan on bringing.  Friends and family are welcome!  Please sign up no later than Tuesday.  OR you can email me by Tuesday.
• We do not have the capacity to store any cold items or heat any items that you will be bringing.  Please either bring your items with you when you arrive, or have something to keep them cold or hot.  Please also provide serving utensils.  You may pick up your dishes as soon as the luncheon is over. 
• The children will be served lunch from the kitchen as they normally are and will be eating in the classrooms.  Please do not go into the classrooms before visiting the cafeteria to fix your plate.  Please first fix your plate and then join your child in their classrooms.  Creeper parents: as your children are usually asleep during this time, we will have several tables set up in the multi-purpose room for you.  We would still like you to join us for lunch! 
• Please use the medical center parking lot for overflow parking during this event.  Do not park on the curb or in the grass.  Please let me know if you have any questions!

Thanksgiving Week:  We placed sign-up sheets in the classrooms to see who would be out the week of Thanksgiving in order to schedule our staff.  If you did not have a chance to sign up on that sheet and your child will be out any days next week, you can just send me an email.  The only day we will be closed is on Thanksgiving Day.  We will operate our normal hours the other days of the week.

Spoiled Rotten Photography will be here the 27th-29th.  If you would like your child’s picture taken, please sign up at:

If you have any conflicts and need your child photographed on a certain day, please let me know ASAP.

MCDC Families,

We are so excited about our Fall Festival this Friday night from 5:30pm-7:00pm in the Activities Building (4316) on Digney Road.

We will have two moonbounces, hotdogs, popcorn, sno-cones, games, prizes and more!  Friends and family are welcome so feel free to invite others!

This event is free of charge; however, we will be taking donations at the door.

One of our events that we will need help with is our cake walk.  We will need donations of cakes, goodies, cookies, etc….  The more the better!  These can be store bought or homemade.  You may drop them off in the front office or bring them to the Fall Festival with you.

Thank you for helping us make this such a fun event each year!  I hope to see you there!
