Along with volunteering at school, the MPC also provides each grade level with a parent who serves as a school liaison, and sends out weekly informational notices relevant to your student’s grade. There are also quarterly parent lunches for each grade where school staff and MPC representatives give brief updates on upcoming events and school information.
