If any student at MCHS is interested in joining Future Business Leaders of America this year, please email Mrs. Witsman. This club is a great one to join at MCHS that prepares students to become community-minded business leaders. FBLA members have meetings, attend conferences, and host community events such as Pink Out Night and the Dodgeball Tournament. This year may look slightly different, but we will still learn and have fun!

All spectators attending any Mt. Carmel Jr/Sr High School Athletic event will be required to wear a mask at ALL times. This includes ALL indoor and outdoor events. This especially includes the Boys and Girls Golf Invitational today at West Berwick Golf Course. This is an IHSA mandate we MUST follow. If we want to have a season for our kids, we have to strictly follow these rules.
Return to MCHS Highlights:
Temperature checks will begin at 7:40. Those being dropped off should report to the front main entrance. Please wait until the student is allowed in the building before you drive off. Students who drive will enter the front main entrance or the double doors at the top of the ramp, adjacent to the back parking lot. It is important to note that a student must be registered before coming to school. We are finding that some have registered but did not hit "submit" at the end of the process. Please have students check Lumen to reference their schedule as they will be reporting directly to first period class upon entering the building. Students will be permitted to bring water in a transparent container. Remote learners will pick up materials on Monday, August 17th. If a remote learner will not be able to engage on a particular day, a parent must call the school to report him or her absent. Please direct any questions to jnewkirk@wabash348.com.

As we get closer to the reopening of the 2020-21 school year, we are rapidly preparing for both in-person and remote instruction. This has been a huge undertaking considering our current conditions. Those that have chosen in-person instruction will expect to see a cautious approach to what used to be a normal school year. Although the precautions will be unfamiliar, we are committed to keeping everyone as safe as possible. As the school year progresses, we will be able to ascertain our procedures and reformat them to better address the needs of the students, faculty, staff, and members of the community.
Remote learning is also available to our students. Under the District Reopening Plan that is on the district website, you will see the stipulations necessary to opt for remote learning. As for the instructional approach, the teachers will be in charge of the type of remote approach for their students. Currently, the teachers use a multitude of platforms such as Google Classroom, Khan Academy and SeeSaw. These platforms will, generally, be the main source of information/communication for the remote learners courses with information such as, lessons, assignments, due dates, etc. Teachers will be using communication platforms such as Remind, Bloomz, the school website, and email with their remote learning students about the specifics of their remote classrooms. Additionally, as the year progresses, teachers may utilize developing technology to enhance their lesson capabilities.
Either way you decide for your child, registration is mandatory to receive instruction from Wabash CUSD #348. Registration information is located on the website, and you may call the school offices for any help. I know this is a time of uncertainty for our community, but I can assure you that District #348 will do everything in its power to provide a quality and rounded education for our students while offering numerous extracurricular activities. This commitment will be unwavering throughout these difficult times.

After analysis of various weather forecasts, the best opportunity to hold a ceremony is tomorrow afternoon. With that said, tonight’s ceremony is postponed until 2:00 pm, Sunday. We are making plans to have our audio/visual equipment under canopies so we can still provide a streaming option. Bring your rain gear and umbrellas as we plan to carry on with the ceremony barring lightning or heavy rain.
