Who is asked for duty?
A parent of each child student currently enrolled in a MMCS class is required to serve for parent-duty at least for one school day.
When does the duty start and end?
Start: 15 minutes before class (i.e. 1:45 PM)
End: After classes (including after-school class) over and students leave. If at the time there is any student not picked up, the duty team must make sure the student is not left alone.
