This section shows information about student absences which provides important information about a school¶s culture and climate. In addition, research shows that student absences impact a child¶s ability to succeed in school. The New Jersey Department of Education selected chronic absenteeism as its measure of school quality and student success for the ESSA accountability plan. Chronic absenteeism is defined as being absent for 10% or more of the days enrolled during the school year. A student who is not present for any reason, excused, unexcused or for disciplinary action, is considered absent unless permitted by statute or regulation.

Courses, Curriculum, Instruction:
Before and After School Programs:
MECC uses the "Tools of the Mind" curriculum which is based on the educational theories of Lev Vygotsky. "Play is the central teaching tool of the curriculum which focuses on giving children the mental tools they need to develop academic and self-regulation skills (Bodrova & Leong, 1996)." Since all of the classrooms are multi-age, the curriculum allows each student to develop at his or her own pace while still being taught the needed skills to become life-long learners.
After school services are provided through a partnership with the community agency of the local YMCA. With help and support from our faculty, they have been able to support even our most challenging preschool students in a safe and loving setting.The program is housed in our preschool building which makes transitions easier for our young learners.
