MCA School Closure Resources
Hello MCA Students and Parents,
A few notes to think about while you are at home. Your teachers have been very busy creating Google Classrooms, and gathering materials to keep you busy. Check out our new webpage for tons of activities to keep you from being bored. All of these resources are completely optional. We hope that you will find them of value and keep your mind active. We miss all of you and hope to see you very soon. If you have any questions please email us.
Mrs. Varano – varanol@mca.k12.pa.us

Be the best you can be.

Lunch and Breakfast Information
MCASD began providing student lunches and breakfasts (breakfast for the following day), March 17. The meals can be picked up at the cafeteria lobby of Mount Carmel Area Elementary between the hours of 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM. This will continue daily, M-F, during the closure. Students must be present to get a meal, and all children that reside in the District qualify up to age 18. If the students are 18 years old, but they are an MCA student, they qualify, as well. Again, students must be present to get a meal.
Also, Buddy Bags will continue to be distributed every Friday between the hours of 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. The pick up location for all Buddy Bags will be the main entrance of our Jr.-Sr. High School.
Students are not permitted in the buildings to pick up items – if there is an emergency situation, please call the school.
Obviously, this is a critical situation that we are all experiencing, and your cooperation is appreciated during this difficult time.
Stay tuned – more information will be coming…
