Grades K-12 Returns to School on Distance Learning From Jan 4 - 8Good Evening K-12 Families, Happy New Year 2021! We've missed seeing you and we hope you have had a wonderful holiday season. We continue to pray for all of your health and safety. This is a friendly reminder that the new semester begins tomorrow, 1/4/21 with Distance Learning at home through Friday, 1/8/21. Students in Grades K-5 will learn with the packets of work given to them on 12/17/20. If your student was absent that day, or did not bring home their packet of work, please contact our Elementary office tomorrow to schedule a time to come in and pick up the classwork. These packets are to be completed during the week and will be due back to the teacher on Monday, 1/11/21 for grading. Students in Grades 6-12 will attend their classes via Google Classroom and will follow the new Bell Schedule for classes (See attached). Students do not need to check in to Study Hall or P.E. for this week only. All students are scheduled to return to campus on Monday, 1/11/21 and must still complete the Health Screening Form daily before entering the campus (See attached). We look forward to seeing you in person and welcoming several new students to our Modesto Christian School family when we return to campus on Monday, 1/11. Feel free to contact our school office if you have any questions. As was discussed in church today, here's to a year of necessary endings and new beginnings, Mrs. Cynthia Jewell Mrs. Vicki Ollson Interim Superintendent/HS Principal Elementary Principal

| REGISTER FOR MODESTO CHRISTIAN SCHOOL! We were pleased to see our students during yesterday's "Meet the Teacher" & "Crusader Round-up" event in preparation for their first day of school. Even in a distance learning environment, we are finding ways to bring our students together for learning and Campus Pastor led "Together Moments" for our Middle and High School students and outdoor, science, music and art activities for our Elementary students. We look forward to a great year! We are #MCStrong! | |
It remains MC's intent to open school on August 6 for on campus education as planned. We will maintain safe distancing practices and other measures to provide a safe yet vibrant learning environment for our students and staff.
MC is committed to small classroom sizes which means we need to limit our new student enrollment to insure safe distancing practices, but we do have spots available.
Spots still open:

Dear Students and Parents,
A heartfelt thank you to all of our kindergarten, middle school and high school families who participated in our recent graduations on Sunday, May 31st. With the recent events surrounding COVID-19, this was the most memorable day of graduations and a first for MCS…Graduation Ceremony Car Parades! We are trusting our graduates felt loved and honored during our graduation ceremonies and for cherished memories to fill your hearts for years to come.
And now for some really exciting news...Modesto Christian School is committed to returning to on-campus, in person classes in August 2020. Our current plan is to have students participate in Crusader Round-Up on Wednesday, August 5 and classes starting Thursday, August 6, 2020.
The MCS School Board and Administration are working diligently to develop thoughtful strategies in adopting guidelines to protect our MC community while having as near to normal school experience as possible. We know that one size does not fit all in school campuses or their responses, strategies and plans during these unusual times. Modesto Christian School is uniquely situated to adapt, innovate, and provide a healthy campus in a welcoming and productive learning environment. We invite you to contact us with any questions you may have. We will continue to update you as we develop common sense protocols for our reopening.
Modesto Christian High School is also committed to returning students to school based athletics. The use of athletic facilities for Summer conditioning and sport specific start dates are to be determined. The return of high school sports will be in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the National Federation of State High School Associations, the Sports Medicine Advisory Committee, the California Interscholastic Federation and Stanislaus County Public Health. Again, one size does not fit all and we will establish our guidelines accordingly as we commit to the return of our athletics with healthy and reasonable protocols. As we obtain more guidance from the organizations mentioned and our local governing bodies and as we solidify protocols, we will forward information to you in a timely manner.
Until we see you again, we wish you and your family a safe and healthy summer.
