Schedule Nov 2 – 6
Schedule for the week of November 2 through November 6
Socktober Challenge 2020
Student Government is happy to announce the annual Socktober Challenge! In years past, we’ve pitched grade level competitions; this year we’re having a competition of Track C vs Track D! In years past, MTCHS has really turned out to fill our sock bins… this year, with two days left of the month, they’re looking kind of sad. We understand with the craziness of 2020, Socktober has been put on the back burner. But we know our Dragons still like to help out, so we’re extending Socktober into November… “Socktember,” if you will! Our new deadline for sock donation will be November 13! Exciting prizes for the Track that donates the most socks will soon be announced, stay tuned!

eDay October 20, 2020
MTCHS will have another eDay on Tuesday Oct. 20 due to the lack of transportation provided by the West Ada School District. We have no choice or say in this process and are subject to the transportation of students by West Ada. MTCHS teachers will be working, and all students are required to log in and work remotely.
Please read the following.
Dear Students, Parents and Guardians,
District Administration has been working with the West Ada Education Association to ensure that school can happen on Tuesday. Currently, we have 440 teachers who have called in sick for tomorrow. We are sadly unable to safely hold school tomorrow due to supervision concerns. This includes students enrolled in Virtual School House, and students who would have been learning remotely. We are continuing to work with the West Ada Education Association to find solutions to their concerns so we can hold school Wednesday.
Free meals are available to students from 10:50 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at many school locations. You must order before 7 a.m. using the form available on this webpage (https://www.westada.org/
Sincerely,
West Ada School District

Seniors will be released for the day when we are done testing.
