Saddle Up for Success!
Let's get ready to "Saddle Up for Success." This year, the MacArthur Mustangs will have some fun with this theme for the 2024-2025 school year! In order for us to move forward in our learning and to go the distance (Mustangs are known for their energy and stamina), we must first "Saddle Up." I am looking forward to seeing each of our students and staff achieve great things by being willing to open their minds

Parent Teacher Conferences are coming up fast! In USD 207, we provide time for parents to meet with their child's teachers early in the school year to allow for open communication that will allow us to best serve students from the very start. On August 23rd, each family is asked to attend a scheduled conference between 8:00am-3:30pm. Classroom teachers will have their available times shared through Skyward and families are asked to sign up for a time. Although children can attend this conference, this first conference session is really for parents and guardians to relay pertinent and helpful information to their child's teacher to set their child up for success.
Our goal is to have 100% of our families attend.
