🍪 Our November Monthly Celebration was so SWEET!

🍪 This month, our scholars got into the holiday spirit by decorating cookies and gingerbread houses. Scholars, keep up the great work, and keep earning those RISE points!

🍪 RISE points are earned by scholars who positively contribute to their classroom and school community. Points accumulate throughout the month and are rewarded weekly through our RISE store. Scholars whose points meet our point threshold are invited to a monthly celebration, just like this one. Points refresh each month, so every scholar has the chance to participate in our monthly celebrations.

Due to MSCS district closures regarding inclement weather and out of an abundance of caution, we will follow suit with an early dismissal at 1:45 PM this afternoon. Please remember that all off-site and on-site after-school activities will be canceled this afternoon, this includes MAM, RTB, and Scholar Crew.

Our partner school, VCP, will close at 2:00 PM this afternoon.

MCP After School Activities Interest Survey 09/28/2022

MCP After School Activities Interest Survey

After-school activities are a vital and integral part of a scholar's education. We are happy to present a robust slate of after-school activities for our scholars. All the proposed activities will occur after school on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, with practices lasting no more than 2 hours. Scholars that attend events after regular school hours do so of their own free will and accept the responsibility of obtaining transportation to and from the practice, event, or game. Parents/Guardians must pick their scholar(s) up within 10 mins of the conclusion of any after-school activity and sign them out at the front office.

We want all scholars to feel a part of our school community. Please complete the interest survey (linked below) to tell us which one of the many activities your scholar will be interested in participating in this school year. We need all results by Friday, September 30th. Many of these will start within the week so get ready to have fun, learn some techniques and embrace MCP more.

MCP After School Activities Interest Survey Our After School Activities promotes a passion for learning by providing scholars with an opportunity to further enhance their elementary school experience through a series of diverse club activities that support the academic environment of Memphis College Preparatory Elementary School.

MCP had so much fun last week!

📚 For Grandparents’ Day, we held a breakfast to celebrate our MCP family members. We played a few rounds of bingo before checking out our book fair!

☀️ On Friday, we held our first Scholar of the Month Breakfast. Scholars of the Month are educator-nominated scholars who have shown dedication to their learning. Each classroom selects one scholar that has displayed academic and behavioral excellence! These scholars are invited to a breakfast with their families and are given a certificate and gifts from MCP.

✏️ Working towards being Scholar of the Month promotes success at home and in the classroom! Educators select a new scholar each month, there are many ways to motivate your scholar to be selected, too.

This week, we will be hosting a Vaccination Clinic on September 21, from 11:00 AM-2:00 PM. Please check your email for more information. If you have any questions or would like more details, call our front desk at (901)620-6475.

As we approach the Fall season and the temperature slowly drops, we want all our families as prepared as possible. COVID continues to affect our children and the lives of families daily.

Vaccination and proper hygiene are part of the arsenal available to prevent severe infection. We will be sending home information and permission slips on Friday for scholars. Also, we encourage everyone who needs any childhood vaccinations to get them done as well.

This clinic will be on-campus and staffed to serve our families. Call the front office at 901.620.6475 for more information or email [email protected]!

2. Your friend or family member enrolls their scholar into MCP. During the enrollment process, they tell us who referred them to our school.

Our Story

Memphis College Preparatory Elementary School opened its doors in August 2010 to an inaugural class of kindergarten students, the college class of 2027. The school has expanded one grade level every year since it opened until we completed our full expansion of Kindergarten through Fifth Grade.

Our mission is to prepare students in kindergarten through fifth grade with the academic and ethical character foundation necessary to excel in school and in life. Our classrooms are named after colleges because our students are preparing each day to complete their journey to college graduation.
