ParentSquare

At MCS, we use ParentSquare as the primary platform for all school-to-family communication.

ParentSquare is a user-friendly tool that allows us to send important updates, announcements, and reminders directly to your phone or email. It also enables two-way communication, so you can easily stay connected with teachers and school staff.

Through ParentSquare, you can send instant messages to teachers and staff for quick and efficient communication about your child’s progress, questions, or concerns. Additionally, you can view school-wide posts, updates, and event reminders, ensuring that you are always informed about what’s happening at the school.

We encourage all families to download the ParentSquare app or register via the website to stay connected and engaged.

Dismissal Changes

No Pick-Up Policy

Manhattan Charter School has a no student pick-up policy when the school is at lunch and recess. Any parents wishing to pick up their child between these hours must make prior arrangements with the Family Relations and Attendance Coordinator and the student’s teacher.
MCS 1 11:00am-1:00 pm
MCS 2 11:30am-1:30 pm

Early Pick Up Policy

If a parent or guardian must occasionally pick up their child early, they will be accommodated only until 2:30 pm. Early pick-ups must take place in the main office. Please note: we will not be able to bring students to the main office for early pick up after 2:30 p.m.

Please call the MCS main office or email your child’s dismissal change information.

Every child in our school deserves the opportunity to grow academically, socially, and emotionally in a welcoming environment. It is our top priority to ensure that all students—regardless of background—feel safe, respected, and valued. This commitment is guided by our belief that every child can succeed when they are provided the tools, resources, and encouragement they need.
