Message from Principal Wilson
Hello Mahaffey Families!
September 10th @ 5:00-6:30pm we will be launching our Volunteer/Watch Dog parent meeting. Please come and join us and see how you can get involved at Mahaffey.
We have had numerous classes earn their letter P (their goal is to spell out PLAID) for amazing hallway expectations. Our Scotties are working hard on showing their PAWS behavior in and outside the classroom (P-PLAID, A-Accepting responsibility, W- Work hard S- Show respect).
Our students are working on creating their beginning-of-the-year (BOY) goals based on their current performance. More information will be shared about this during the Open House on September 18th. We can't wait to see you there.
Each month I will be giving updates on our daily campus attendance percentage. Absenteeism in the first month of school can predict poor attendance throughout the school year. Half the students who miss 2-4 days in September go on to miss nearly a month of school.
Our goal from Mahaffey is to have 96.5% or higher for our daily attendance. Last year our average was 95%.
Averages:
23-24 School Year: 95%
24-25 School Year Goal: 96.5%
