While on campus, students are expected to keep their iPads with them whenever possible or locked in their locker. While off campus, students are responsible for charging their iPads at home in the evening so they come to school with a fully charged device to get through the school day. However, if your student forgets his or her iPad in the morning, the Main Office staff will not accept devices to be dropped off for distribution to students. Other non-emergency drop-offs such as lunches, homework, etc. are also being discouraged, as this will encourage students to become more responsible. We appreciate our parents' compliance with this policy. Meal Time Accounts: If your student chooses to purchase lunch in the cafeteria, they must have funds deposited into their Meal Time account. Money may be deposited on-line with a credit card (on Marian website, under Parents, Mealtime Online link. It usually takes 48 hours for the Mealtime & Marian's computers to synchronize, so money deposited on-line may take a day or two to appear on your student's account). Cash or checks may be brought to the Tuition Office/Bookstore (located near the main office) prior to 8:35 a.m. for funds to appear in your student's account that day. If you experience problems with Meal Time on-line, please call their help number at 1-800-755-0904. For your information, the MCHS cafeteria menu and price list can be found on the Marian website under Parents. Please remember that no cash is exchanged in the cafeteria. Student ID's: Students are to wear a school-issued ID on the school-issued black & white lanyard around their neck during school hours every school day!

If students forget their ID, they may rent a temporary ID for that day at the Welcome Desk (outside of the Main Office) before 7:40 a.m. The rental fee is $10 ($5 for the ID & $5 deposit), and a detention is issued. Five dollars will be returned and the detention cancelled if the ID and lanyard are returned immediately after school. If they do not return the rental ID immediately after school, there is no refund and the detention stands. If students do not have the rental fee they can pay before school the next day; after that the rental fee is doubled to $10. If students lose their ID, you must purchase a new ID for a fee of $5. The cost for a new lanyard is $5. Please consult page 26 of your Parent/Student Handbook for the complete ID policy.
