The Community Relations Office designs and publishes several external and internal documents each year. Listed below are each of the publications, with details on their purpose, audience, and dates of publication.
Picture & Video Disclaimer
Throughout the school year, various media groups (television stations, local newspapers, school production classes, district communication staff, etc.) may produce stories about activities and events happening in the school district. These articles may include photographs and video that may be posted on the internet, printed, or aired on television and cable stations. In addition, the District may want to include news about activities and events on its own website and social media platforms.
Parents who DO NOT want their student(s) to be photographed or videotaped for news media or school publicity purposes, should submit a “Media Opt-Out Form”. District staff will make every reasonable effort to identify the primary subjects in photographs and to not publish photos containing students on the opt-out list.
The “Media Opt-Out Form” will be valid for the current school year. This policy relates to classroom activities or school events that are not already open to the public. Public events such as sporting events, theater productions, etc., are considered open to the public and outside photographers and videographers are not governed by this policy

School Calendar
The School Calendar contains scheduled events (academic, athletic, extracurricular, etc.) for the entire school year. Because this publication is created over the summer, when not all event dates for the school year are completely set, we ask that families use the calendar simply as a guide for upcoming events. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, please visit www.mchs.net.
Distribution: The School Calendar is made available as a full 12-month download at www.mchs.net.
Publication Date: August of each school year
