Mac El Weekly News

We were thrilled to see so many families join us for our recent Family Literacy Night. Thank you to our amazing student council for setting up fun activities, our generous Mac El PTO for providing delicious refreshments, and all of our dedicated staff for reading books, playing games, and supporting literacy for all students. After completing different activities, the evening ended with all kids choosing a book from the book vending machine!

If you missed this event, don't worry! We have more family-friendly activities planned throughout the year. Be sure to keep an eye on our weekly newsletter and download our Maconaquah Schools app for important updates and event announcements. Let's continue to foster a love of reading and learning together!

• Students may wear a costume to school, no weapons or gorey costumes. Masks must be taken off when in the classroom. There will be a short parade at the end of the day for students to have the opportunity to see each others' costumes. Students are not required to dress up.

Teachers will be sending information for parents to sign up for conferences. This is an important opportunity to speak with your child's teacher about their progress at the start of the school year, their current status, and areas for improvement and celebration in their learning process. Make sure you get signed up!

Regular attendance is crucial for students’ 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. It’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!
