Fire safety drills will acquaint all members of the school community with a knowledge of exiting the building quietly and orderly in case of a fire or other emergency. Lockdown safety drills will acquaint all students with the procedure for responding to a crisis in a safe manner. It is the expectation of the school that all students comply with the safety directives or receive the logical consequences. Our mission is to support the interconnectedness of the mind, body and soul.

We accomplish this through the following: ● Instruction in Psycho-education at the middle school level (physiology of the brain, anxiety and the brain, addiction and the brain, social media and the brain, coping skills for the brain) ● Wellness instruction in K-5 ● Referrals to MCS spiritual counselor ● Group work (Including, but not limited to: grief, peer relationships, anxiety) ● Integration of mental health supports through collaboration with art, music, and reading at MCS. ● Mentoring for mental health- self-esteem building for students through supporting MCS community (Acknowledge gifts and provide support to others) ● Screening for emotional or behavioral concerns ● Consultation with parents regarding family/child’s needs and support ● Referrals to mental health providers in the community or MCS school therapist ● Coordination of care within the school for students working with a mental health provider outside of the school ● Short term individual counseling, temporary service aimed at skill building and education to learn coping skills for relief. In addition to counseling services, clinical mental health consultation is available on a limited basis through the MCS wellness center with our school based clinician.
