MCA utilizes the SchoolMessenger system to deliver text messages, straight to your mobile phone with important information about events, school closings, safety alerts and more.

It’s important to receive these time-sensitive notifications.  We encourage students that have mobile phones and family members to opt-in for these notifications.

You can participate in this service just by sending a text message of “Y” or “Yes” to our school’s short code number, 67587.

You can also opt out of these messages at any time by simply replying to one of our messages with “Stop”.

SchoolMessenger is compliant with the Student Privacy PledgeTM, so you can rest assured that your information is safe and will never be given or sold to anyone.

MCA is proud to announce that in 2019 we will be transitioning all family accounts in PowerSchool to Single Sign-On with their Microsoft Office 365 Credentials.*  Using the same user name and password as their family email account (see your “Regular Contact” tab) parents/guardians will be able to access the newest tools in PowerSchool to help them keep track of student grades, attendance and much more.  If you have a school-provided email you can log in to PowerSchool right now from Parent/Guardian Tab of the “Resources Menu.”  Sign in by clicking PowerSchool UC and then click on “Sign in with Microsoft.”

*Please note that while the new PowerSchool Unified Classroom is mobile responsive and will work on your mobile device the PowerSchool App for mobile devices still relies on the old method of signing in to PowerSchool.

PowerSchool has announced that they will have the Single Sign-On available for the mobile app by the end of 2019 (in the middle of the school year.)   If you would like to maintain access using the mobile app until then, contact the IT department and they will be happy to help you with your user name and password!

MCA has a quite a list of helpful resources that are available for our families.  It is important to know that the best place to find these is on our website.  The good news is that these resources are available from the menu on any page under “Resources.”  This item appears in the upper left hand side of the menu on a wide screen-device and in the drop down menu on smaller-screen devices.

If you are looking for Documents and Forms, click the button below titled “Forms, Files & Links”.  You may access these again by clicking on the Resource menu in the future!

Establishing your Smart Tuition account is an important part of enrollment at MCA.  All tuition and fees are collected through this convenient tool and a great deal of custom preferences are available to the enrolled family’s financially responsible party.

It is important to notice that while some fees are added automatically (sports fees, activities fees, etc.) some fees are optional and are selected by the financially responsible party and payable immediately in Smart Tuition.  Familiarizing yourself with these tools are helpful to be sure your student(s) and your family do not miss out on opportunities.

It is also very convenient to use the Smart Phone app to gain access to your Smart Tuition account, make payments and more.  Optional Fees cannot be paid via the Smart App.  Some products (drama tickets, donations, etc.) may be made available to the public but they are not a part of a family’s account.

Please note that Smart Tuition Accounts are set up and managed by the enrolled family’s financially responsible party.  All accounts with Smart Tuition are managed directly through Smart Tuition and that party.  MCA does not have access to these accounts.

In addition to our family resources, MCA has a useful gathering of important news and events.   It is important to know that the best place to find these is on our website.  The good news is that these resources are available from the menu on any page under “News & Events.”  This item appears in the upper right hand side of the menu on a wide screen-device and in the drop down menu on smaller-screen devices.  (See images)

1. From the website menu, (1) choose “News and Events.”  (2) You will find not only Events (school calendars, menus and more) but (3) news too!
2. If the Filters are closed, click “Show Filters” to find ways to narrow your calendar search
3. Clicking (1) “Collapse Filters” returns the calendar to a full screen view; (2) there are many filters you can find, the more you know what you are looking for the better (there is a search bar at the top of every calendar too!)

If you are looking for our School Calendar or different School News you may access these again by clicking on the Resource menu in the future!

Do you have news we should share?  Can’t find something on our calendar that should be there?  Let us know!

Knowing that MCA is ready to help you and your family with the tools we use is something we want you to be confident in.  To that end, MCA has its own online HelpDesk available 24×7.

Access to the HelpDesk uses the same credentials you set up from your Office 365 credentials.  Sign in and and gain access to all sorts of helps including the ability for you to raise a ticket directly with the IT Department.

MCA is a preschool, an elementary and secondary school.  No matter what part of our family you are joining, we are glad you are with us!  Be sure you look into our news regularly to find out what is going on in any of our programs!
