Car Line Map 24-25

If you have any questions regarding car line, please ask your teacher or division principal.

When a student is absent from school, a parent must contact attendance@mjca.org  or download the MJCA app and fill out the attendance form by 8:30 AM to inform the school of the child’s absence.

A K-6th grade student is tardy to school if they are not in their assigned classroom by 7:45 AM Monday through Friday. After 8:05 AM without parent notification, an Upper School student is considered tardy.

Even though a parent may call the school, an e-mail must also be sent to the school. The email shall include the reason for the absence, the date of the absence, and a phone number. For extended absences, regular e-mail communication is required. It is not the responsibility of the school to track down excuses from students.

After the first day back at school, absences will become unexcused if an e-mail has not been received by the school. Excused absences include illness, death of a family member or close relative, medical or dental appointments, participation in a school- sponsored activity, court or administrative proceedings, or an absence excused with the administration’s prior permission.

Students K-12 wear uniforms Monday-Thursday. Fridays are spirit wear days and students can wear jeans (please refer to Parent/Student Handbook located on Parentsweb for more details).

Dennis Uniform Company is MJCA's exclusive uniform supplier. Dennis has served the country’s leading schools since 1920 and is committed to delivering exceptional products and service to our families. 

All school uniforms must be purchased from Dennis Uniforms at the retail location in Brentwood or ordered online at the Dennis Uniform Online (school code MI3842). For questions about school uniforms, please contact your division principal.

We are now partnered with ChefAdvantage! MJCA Families can login to ParentsWeb to view the menu and pricing.

Price List

Breakfast Menu/Price List

We use FACTS to manage both our tuition plans and our incidental billing for students. Incidental billing is for any fee outside of tuition such as clubs, after school study hall, athletic fees, secondary field trips, Extended Care or Holiday Care programs, etc. Each family is required to have both of these accounts and they must be set up in FACTS through Parentsweb by clicking on Financial Home. You can choose auto draft payments and payment methods for each account separately.

All fees are invoiced by FACTS to your email with at least 10 days notice, even if they are set up to autodraft. Questions can be sent to business@mjca.org.

*The first day of Extended Care will be Monday, August 12 for registered students only.

For those families in need of additional care, Extended Care is available in the mornings and afternoons on school days and certain scheduled holidays (for an additional charge). Please visit our page about Extended Care or contact extendedcare@mjca.org for more information.
