MCS Department of Student Services

We held our second annual “Yes I Can” Awards Ceremony. 28 students and 6 staff members, all celebrated for their scholarship, character, work ethic, and leadership. An inspirational night where we all can and should be reminded of the beautiful talents in each of us #besomebody

Our hearts are still smiling from last night’s Yes I Can Awards! We honored our students with exceptional needs and the amazing staff who support them and their families! Congratulations to our students & staff!   Learn more & see the 2024 winners here ➡️ ow.ly/KlBn50QIwTp

@DrNikPhilmon And this goes beyond literacy...it's MTSS at its best!

This has never been more important to remember as SB48 and HB538 lead us to level up literacy screening, instruction, and intervention in Georgia.

We live in a world where CEOs get million-dollar bonuses for reaching their goals (pleasing their shareholders) while teachers ask for donations on DonorsChoose and ClearTheList. How did we get here? 🫤

@DrJenHernandez Thankful for the leadership you are providing for our MCS staff.

Can the people in the back hear this? If students have weak Phonemic Awareness...

@carbaeli Stress - cortisol

Help me understand. I ate 2-3 meals a day and was not extremely active this summer cause it was a million degrees. I lost weight. I’m now in school, on my feet putting in over 10,000 steps a day. I’m outside for duty throughout the day. No diet change. I’m gaining weight. ???

Tier 1 ! Tier 1! Tier 1!

We believe that literacy is the foundation for all learning. This year, we continue our efforts to ensure every student reads at or above grade level. Together, let’s write the book on literacy.

Love this

Read to your newborn. 📚 With hearing developing during the final months of gestation, it’s never too early to begin reading to your baby. And this mom is giving us an absolute master class in how to do it right. Note first that she’s reading face-to-face. At this age (10 weeks), there is literally nothing more thrilling - or instructional - to your newborn than your face. Check out how intently focused baby is on mom’s voice and facial expressions. Mom reads with expression and emotion, alternating between glances at the text and direct eye contact with her adoring audience of one. And there is so much going on in that developing brain. Did you know that during the earliest years of life babies form new neural connections at an estimated 1 million per SECOND? With these types of rich daily interactions, mom is setting her baby up for a lifetime of success. Kudos to KelseyPaumer (IG) on this fantastic and educational 🎥 clip.

There is a huge difference between being a "reluctant reader" and having dyslexia. #dyslexia
