ROYAL PRIDE WEEKLY
May 12, 2023
Good Afternoon Royals Family,
The month of May is celebrated in the Catholic Church in remembrance of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Catholics celebrate the profound gift that Mary is to all of us; she who first loved, then delivered, raised, supported, ultimately buried, but witnessed too, the Resurrection of her son, Jesus. To all mothers and to those who serve as Mary did, in all of our lives, we wish you a blessed Mother’s Day.
Perhaps an additional reason to celebrate this weekend, we have also reached the milestone of the end of the regular AP Exam weeks. There are still a handful of AP make-up exam days for anyone who missed the regularly scheduled test, but for nearly all students, this next week of classes will be the final, full-week of instruction in this academic year (and can you believe it?!). Classes will be wrapping up new instruction and transitioning to final exam preparation. MCP does spread final exams out over ten calendar days, but this Sunday afternoon after clearing away some Mother’s Day dishes and offering up a few household chores in honor of mom, it might be a great time for a student to build out a final exam ‘study plan’ covering the next twelve days before Finals begin on May 23. This might prove especially timely for seniors and juniors who the following Saturday night (May 20) will be coming off of Prom and perhaps a little less inclined to dedicate time for studying next weekend (just a thought).
Regardless, ‘thank you,’ again, to all of the ‘moms’ in our lives. As always, enjoy your weekend, and God Bless.
Yours in Christ,
Mike Susank
Principal

MCP ATHLETIC PHYSICAL NIGHT - Wed, May 17 6p-8p MCP Gym
In order for a student athlete to be cleared to play sports for next year, MCP needs both (1) the student's athletic clearance account to be opted into and (2) have a up-to-date physical on file with the school. The MCP Athletic Physical Night is by far the most convenient way for an athlete to be cleared for the 2023-2024 school year. This event is open to incoming MCP students as well as to returning student athletes. The cost for the physical is $25, and we can take cash/check at the door. We will also be taking electronic payments this year via our GoFan platform. You can pre-purchase your GoFan payment by clicking the link or we can help you process this at the door next week. Directions on how to create/update your athletic clearance account for the 23-24 school year can be found on our website by clicking the story link. Please note that you will only be able to complete steps 1 and 2 if you are getting your athletic physical with us on May 17. We will complete step 3 -- upload and attach it for you. This will help us expedite the process if you create/update the account prior to next Wednesday. We will be scanning the completed physical before the athlete leaves campus that night to help ensure we can get them cleared in an expedited fashion and remove the burden of families needing to scan and attach the document. If you decide to get an athletic physical with your own doctor, you will need to complete step 3 and upload and attach it to your profile.

Summer Classes in Your Plans?
As we roll into May and the last few weeks of school, the Academics Department wants to touch base about taking classes over summer. There are three main reasons students may choose to take a class over the summer: for "enrichment," for "advancement," or for "remediation." In all cases, MCP asks that the linked form be completed and submitted for approval before students enroll in a course. Click the link to access this form and review the email sent from Ms. Foster on April 18th with more information. Question, email Ms. Foster at [email protected].

MCP Men's Golf Team Finishes 2nd in Division II CIF Championship
On the biggest stage of the year, MCP’s Men’s Golf team came through with an all-out team effort to grab 2nd place at the CIF Central Section Division 2 Golf Championship at Valley Oaks Golf Course in Visalia on May 9th. The Royals came into the championship as the 5th place finisher in the Mountain League and had to overcome local favorites Sierra Pacific, Immanuel, and Lemoore. At the end of the day MCP would outlast all but Mountain League's Santa Ynez who would finish on top as D2 champions - by a slim 5-stroke margin.
MCP got off to a strong start with Luke Montoya quickly getting to 3-under par and Landon Smith and Augustin Nguyen playing steady even par golf. At one point on the back nine, the Royals were tied for first place. Jake Long, AJ Jespen, and Ben Gingerich each played fantastic and their efforts helped keep the team in contention. But when the final scores came in, it took Santa Ynez's number 5 player shooting a remarkable 75 to earn team victory for the Pirates. When the team scores were tallied up after all players were finished Mission Prep's score of 400 was enough for a 2nd place tie with Lemoore. However, the tie breaker for team runner-up goes to each team's number 6 player. For the Royals that was Gingerich. His 95 beat Lemoore's 101 - giving MCP 2nd place.
It was a fantastic finish for these Royals who peaked at the right time.
Luke Montoya also finished runner-up in the individual competition with score of 2-under par 70. Zack Tarter of Sierra Pacific earned medalist honors with 4-under par 68.
Three Royals, Montoya (2nd), Smith (23rd), and Nguyen (25th) finished in the Top 25 of the combined Area, D3, and D2 tournaments and qualified for the next round of CIF playoffs - CIF CS Section Championship to be played next week at San Joaquin Country Club.

Re-Enrollment is underway!
Re-Enrollment for the 2023-2024 school year is OPEN!!! You can access re-enrollment by logging into your FACTS Family Portal, clicking the Apply/Enroll link on the left-hand side, and clicking Reenrollment.

Attention Parent Volunteers – Parent Service Hours
Every Mission College Prep family is required to do a minimum of 15 MCP volunteer hours each year. Please be aware that the deadline for either completing your hours, or alerting me of future planned hours, was April 15, 2023. Families that have not met the 15-hour minimum by this time will be charged $25 per incomplete hour. Invoices for those incomplete hours have been billed through FACTS.
Outstanding Tuition Balances
It is Mission College Prep’s policy, as stated in the Parent and Student Handbook, that no student is permitted to sit for their final exams unless all tuition and fees are paid. The final exam in each course is a required component, so a student who does not sit for a final exam is in danger of rendering a semester grade of zero (F) for each course for which a final exam was not taken. In this current semester, final exams are scheduled to begin on Wednesday, May 24, 2023. Please be advised that all student accounts must be current by 12 noon on May 23, or affected students will be contacted, informed of the situation, and will not be able to participate in their final exams until further notice. Once all student accounts are paid, all missed final exams will be re-scheduled for the student, but please be advised that the instructors are not obligated to grade any exam taken after June 2, 2023, until the instructor returns in August, 2023, potentially delaying an updated official transcript for several months. Also please be aware that anyone on Tuition Assistance for next year will lose their Tuition Assistance if they are not 100% caught up with this year’s tuition by June 30, 2023.
We understand family circumstances with regards to finances can change, especially during these difficult and uncertain times, so please contact me or Mrs. Carlesha Harris immediately if there are any further questions. If you would like to make a payment, please contact Mrs. Carlesha Harris in the Business Office at [email protected].

Community Service Reminder - Senior Students
This is a friendly reminder that all of your service hours must be complete in order to receive your diploma and have transcripts sent to your college of choice. Now is a great time to start making a plan to make sure this requirement is fulfilled. Senior students need a total of 60 community service hours and 22.5 school service hours (this is the adjustment from our covid years). Students are able to make up hours - but you can't move hours forward (example you completed all of your hours freshmen year and want to count it for all four years). Mrs. Buresh has a record of where you are at as of right now in her office. If you have questions stop by and see Mrs. Buresh. Graduation will be here before you know it - let's make sure your requirement is taken care of for graduation.
**If you transferred into MCP...you will have additional adjustments to these totals.
