Guidance Guidance

Classroom guidance is introducing lessons that are part of the evidenced-based COPE Program (Creating Opportunities for Personal Empowerment). The COPE Program teaches children how their thoughts also affect how they feel and behave. They will be learning healthy ways to cope with negative events or thoughts that may occur in their lives. This program will be taught for the remainder of the semester.

Virtual Instruction Virtual Instruction

Parents will be notified through the school messenger system by email and/or phone for 2hr delays or if there is a need for virtual instruction. It will also be posted on our website. The Virtual Learning Website is accessible on our Maconaquah Schools Website under the parent, student, and quick link tabs. This includes the schedule for each building, as well as other helpful tips and resources. Please see below for the expectations for Mac El Students.

Attendance Attendance

Regular attendance is crucial for studentsโ€™ academic success. When students miss school, they often miss important lessons, assignments, and opportunities for interaction with their classmates and teachers. This can lead to falling behind in their studies and feeling discouraged. Itโ€™s essential for students to attend school consistently to build a strong foundation for their education and future goals.


If your child will not be at school, you must leave the reason for your child's absence when calling into the attendance line. Thank you!
