A newsletter for the parents of MNTC high school students.
Dear Parents,
The new school year is always an exciting time at Moore Norman Technology Center. Nothing inspires us more than having our classrooms full of bright, motivated learners. Welcome back, students!
In addition to getting our classes started this fall, I am happy to announce that we have begun work on the construction projects related to the April 2016 bond issue. Our crews worked over the summer to get classrooms and offices moved to new spaces in preparation of major changes beginning in the south end of the main building on our Franklin Road Campus. Although it will take some time to get there, when all of the work is done, our students will enjoy new and modernized classrooms, additional campus safety features, and new programs. Please visit us online for bond project updates.
And speaking of safety, we hope you have had the chance to download our new SchoolWay app. When you do, you will gain easy access to all of the information on the MNTC website and will be able to receive important push notifications related to MNTC news, school closures, etc. It’s just one more way to stay in touch with MNTC.
We wish you and your families the very best this fall and thank you for your support of MNTC.
