Welcome Mustang Families

Parents, Guardians, & Friends, 

You are CRITICAL to the success of MOT Charter School!
We know that entrusting the education of your child to us was not a decision that was made lightly. You spent the time to research, talk to friends, family, & neighbors, and visit our campus so that you could ensure that MOT Charter School was the right fit for both your child and your family.
While our teachers, staff, administration and Board of Directors work every day (yes, even over the summer) to ensure we are providing the best possible education for your child - your continued support is what has made us successful since 2002.
Thank you for choosing us, and for giving us to opportunity to be a part of your lives. We appreciate your continued support.

MOT Charter School’s Handbook outlines the rules and expectations for appropriate conduct in our school. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: academic, attendance, dress code, bus safety, technology use, health & safety policies; and details the consequences for infractions. The handbook is required by state law and is intended to promote a positive learning environment and safe schools. We ask that all parents/guardians review this information with their student in order to promote understanding and compliance.
