Yesterday at MCMS, it was Dress like a "Nerd" for spirit day.
On Sunday, April 18th, Remi Kraft was honored by the Pierre Menard Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (D.A.R.). She was chosen by the staff at MCMS for her Honor, Service, Courage, Leadership, and Patriotism. Congratulations Remi! We are so proud of you!
Today is Secretary’s Day and MCMS wants to show our appreciation to the ladies who do so much around here. Mrs. Hintz and Mrs. Lapsley, we had students take a survey about things you’ve done for them this year and we want to share a few results with you.
Since we are in Middle School, we sometimes forget things and need to call our parents. You have called more than half of our parents for us this year.
Sometimes we are forgetful or things change with our after school arrangements. You have called 62% of us up this year to help us make sure we get home the correct way and safely.
58% of us report that you’ve done more for us than your secretarial duties ask of you.
You two are extremely kind and have made at least 81% of us smile this year alone.
With Covid, there have been limitations and you two don’t see as many of us as you would in a normal year, but you’ve still managed to speak to 88% of us.
Finally, middle school can be an unsure time for many of us. You two have made 96% of us feel welcomed here at MCMS.
We want to say THANK YOU both for all that you do for the staff and students here at Midwest Central.
Progress Reports will be sent home today with students.
Do you know what today is? Here's a hint - Midwest Central is lucky to have some of the best around.
Today is Administrative Professionals Day!

Hello Raiders,
As I mentioned last week, I want to provide you some information on some of the bills being run through Springfield. Below are two bills I'm concerned about. As a parent, I personally wouldn't want a teacher talking to my children about sex education and providing their viewpoint on the topic. As a school leader, I don't think it's the job of the district to educate students on this topic to this extent. Naturally we touch on sex education in our health classes; however, these bills will put us in positions to provide much more intense education on the topic. I would encourage you all to reach out to your senator and representative to explain your displeasure with these bills. If you're unsure who to reach here is a link to search for both your senator and representative.

HB 1736 Rep. Kathleen Willis (D-Northlake)
HB 3071 Rep. Camille Lilly (D-Chicago)
We grouped these bills together because both focus on sex education curriculum.
HB 1736 mandates that a comprehensive, standards-based sex education course be taught in Preschool through 12th grade, including school disclosure, parental requests and notice of program. The bill allows school districts to collaborate with public health departments to identify a point of contact for inquiries and comments about course instruction and materials.
HB 3071 provides that school districts providing sex education are required to deliver a standards-based evidence-informed curriculum.
Best,
Dr. Todd Hellrigel
It's time for Preschool Screenings!
