Welcome, MATES Families!

Welcome, families!

Congratulations to All the New Families Who Won the MATES Lottery!

Welcome to MATES! You are now part of the MATES Community Network (MCN). It is a privilege to belong to this amazing community, and we feel very lucky to be here. We hope this Insider Guide eases navigating the beginning of school and helps you get settled in no time.

MATES Mentor Program

Once you are enrolled (new MATES family), signing up for this program pairs you with a mentor (current MATES family) to help acclimate you to our wonderful school.

Park Playdates

We have playdates before the start of the school year for everyone to get to know each other.

The Park Playdates are always a hit with MATES families – returning and new!

1st Day School Supplies

MCN has partnered with this vendor for your convenience, and purchasing from 1st Day School Supplies is optional.

All kits are filled with the exact supplies requested by your teacher and are name-brand, high-quality products. Items are also delivered directly to your home.

Tithe.ly

Tithe.ly is our new giving platform. We hope that this makes all payments to MCN easier and hassle-free for all our families!

Because we use this platform to accept all electronic payments, we highly encourage you to download the app and create an account.

MATES Marketplace

Need more uniforms? Purchase gently used MATES clothing at a fraction of the price while raising money for the school! Cash and Tithe.ly accepted.

Art@Lunch Shirts

These cute spirit shirts can be worn every Tuesday. Art@Lunch shirts are optional and are only available for a limited time. Order yours soon!

Direct Donation Drive

Every donation, no matter the amount, is appreciated and celebrated. Without your contribution, MCN won’t be able to offer all the amazing programs for our children & families that make MATES exceptional.

Your donation is tax deductible, and 100% of the proceeds stay at MATES. Direct Donations qualify for most corporate matching programs (contact your employer).

Sponsorship Opportunities

MCN supports the Mission of MATES and its focus on arts and technology, and we have a wide selection of events and programs that you may sponsor.

We appreciate your help in funding MCN’s commitment to excellence in providing for our school!

Returning Program from 2024 – 2025!

Language@Lunch

Language@Lunch is a lunchtime (optional) program that offers your child the fun of learning languages from all over the world.

You may order a cute shirt (also optional) that can be worn on Fridays! These shirts are only available for a limited time, so order yours soon!

MCN Programs

Year after year, we offer various assemblies and events to cover a wide range of interests and opportunities.

These educational and community-building programs are woven into the fabric of your student and family’s experience at MATES.
