Welcome students and parents! Even though our building is closed, the learning continues. Our governor and legislature has required we transition to an online “remote learning” plan for the remainder of the school year. Our plan has been submitted to the county and accepted…and starts TODAY! I’ve posted the details below, and attached a handy copy you can print out, but the staff at MBCC thought it would be fun to share this fun little video with you outlining the basics. Hope to “see” you all soon! We miss you!
For the remainder of the 2019-2020 School Year (ending June 11, 2020), the MBCC Teachers will…
