We've successfully completed week two and it was busy with practicing routines and expectations, taking school pictures, fire drill, and so much more. All of these things are important as our goal at Mac El is to create a safe, respectful, and responsible learning environment where every Mac El Brave can thrive.

To make the most of our precious classroom time, we’re working on speeding up our breakfast routine. Now that students have their ID badges, they will go straight to breakfast from the bus and scan their ID in the cafeteria, making the process so much faster. We know mornings can be hectic, so we appreciate your help in reminding your child to:

• Head straight to the cafeteria for breakfast
• Quickly scan their ID
• Return to class ready to learn

By working together, we can ensure our students have a smooth start to their day and maximize their learning opportunities. Thank you for your continued support and have a great weekend!

Maconaquah Schools made the choice to opt in to the IELARN Checkpoints Pilot for our students in grades 3 - 8. The information gained from the checkpoints will provide data to guide instruction for our students and support areas of need. Please see the flyer below for more information according to your student's grade level.

Students will start their campaigns next week. Only students who have complete the paperwork and turned it in will be permitted to campaign. All campaign signs will be approved to ensure they are school appropriate.

All Maconaquah Elementary Students will be able to receive a free breakfast. Students will report to the cafeteria upon arrival to get their breakfast and bring it to their classroom to eat.
