MCAA Spotlight

SAVE the date- Friday, May 1! Students in

French classes are preparing for our 10th annual

Delices de France, an evening of French delights.

This year’s theme is “Les Miserables”- life among

poor artists. As usual, talented parents are

offering their expertise to help students prepare a

wonderful assortment of French desserts as an

accompaniment to the entertainment. Stay tuned

for more details.

Students in GATE cast a critical eye on

Sacramento Theater’s wild, cross-cast, up-date of

Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and on the exhibit

“La Vie Moderne” – an exhibit of turn-of-the

century French art at the Crocker Museum . Their

responses reflected that acumen and intelligence

cultivated by the fine instruction of drama and art

teachers Ms Marks and Mr Buckley.

~Ruth Atkins

The 8th Grade is creating a tolerance museum

and working on writing portfolios of the same

subject. The seventh graders are working on

memoirs.

Hello MCAA Students and Parents,

It’s hard to believe we are already more than half way through second semester…June is just around the corner! The Counseling Office has been busy with registration for next year’s classes. The last few weeks before Spring Break were spent gathering students’ course requests for next year. Eighth graders will make course selections during the first week back from break and any

make ups will happen during that time as well. These are just course requests at this time so any students still needing to put in their requests haven’t missed out on anything, I promise! The schedule for next year will be finalized in the coming months using the information gathered through the course request process. Although there is no perfect schedule that allows all students to get every course they want, every effort will be made to limit conflicts whenever possible so students can get as many of the courses they need/want. If you have any questions about your student’s schedule for next year, please feel free to contact me.

The deadline is just around the corner for those seniors who plan to attend a 4-year university to submit their Statement of Intent to Register (SIR). Even though students are often faced with difficult decisions when trying to determine where to go, they must meet all university deadlines in order to continue to be eligible. Most colleges require students to submit a SIR by May 1st. Any students planning to attend community college in the fall who need assistance with the enrollment process should stop by the Counseling Office for help.

Reminder: Juniors who plan to attend a 4-year university directly after high school should consider taking the SAT or ACT this spring. Remaining test dates are May 2nd and June 6th for the SAT and June 13th for the ACT. Students can register online at www.collegeboard.org (SAT) or www.actstudent.org (ACT). Juniors should also be starting to seriously consider their options after high school. The application process for 4-year universities typically starts in the fall of senior year so students should have a good idea of where they want to apply when school begins in August. Research can be done online (www.csumentor.edu, www.universityofcalifornia.edu, www.bigfuture.collegeboard.org are some examples) or by visiting campuses in person.

Tenth graders took the California High School Exit Exam last month and did a great job! All students took the test seriously and seemed to be well prepared. Results will be mailed home this summer. Way to go 10th graders!!

With promotion just around the corner, 8th graders need to be aware of their grades. Students are required to have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 over all four quarters to be eligible to participate in the promotion ceremony. Now that 3rd quarter grades have posted I will once again be working with any students who are not currently meeting that requirement.

Any high school students interested in taking courses at Yuba College over the summer or during the fall should check the schedule of classes on the college’s website (yc.yccd.edu) to see what is being offered. An application must be completed and students interested in taking math or English need to take a placement exam. Additionally, students need paperwork from me. Students will be allowed to begin registering May 11th and are only required to pay the $10 student services fee. If you have questions about this process, please contact me.

And finally, congratulations to Angelica Gomer and Gaby Hayes! Both girls competed in the Marysville Rotary Speech contest last month and did a fantastic job!! Gaby was runner up and Angelica won first place. Angelica will now go on to compete in the District Rotary Speech Contest in April. Way to go girls…you make MCAA proud!

Happy Spring, Christy Spade Counselor (530) 749-6157 x6232 [email protected]

SCHEDULED EVENTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE


Dance Disneyland Trip During the Dance Departments trip to Disneyland this year, the students participated in two dance workshops. The first was the Advance Dance Workshop 201 taught by Tricia Gomez. Here the students participated in and learned an entire dance piece. The second workshop was Auditions and Careers taught by Sjaan Trowbridge. In this workshop the students experienced what it would be like to audition for a job at Disney. This workshop was very intense and very rewarding. We hope to return again soon. Shalisa Peck, Dance Director
