Marvelous Mustang Memo
For the Week of April 15, 2024
Mastery. Acceptance. Confidence.
For Returning Families:
Parent Input Opportunity
This spring, our staff will work on many planning items for the 2024-2025 school year. One of those is class placement for every returning child. You, as parents, know your children best and may wish to share some information about them which will help us make that decision. If you would like to share information about your child’s learning style or something else which in your mind could interfere with your child’s learning, I invite you to fill out the attached form. You may simply want to describe the kind of learning environment in which you know your child will flourish.
The letters should not contain requests for an individual teacher, but rather additional information which will help select the right classroom for your child based upon your child’s needs. Be assured with or without a letter from parents, our staff will review each child’s needs individually and select the classroom in which we believe s/he will learn best. To do so, we will begin the process this spring and complete it with extreme care as many factors are considered.
Parent letters are for principal review only and are confidential. Please do not discuss this type of information with your child's current teacher as it puts them in an uncomfortable spot. Please direct all questions/concerns to me.
Please email me or send in the form sealed in an envelope by the deadline of April 30th. Thank you for partnering with us to create the best school experience for your children!
Congratulations to our Junior Guard!
Our teams and placing were as follows:
All the students participated in the written knowledge test and MAC placed 2nd after Patton.
MAC posting color guard commanded by Lincoln B. with Catherine A., Octavio R., and Ivy N. placed 2nd in Posting Color Guard.
Individual Drill Down (last man standing without making mistakes in drill): Jackson D. placed 6th and Lincoln B. placed 3rd.
MAC placed 2nd overall just behind Patton in 1st place.
A big thank you goes out to Mrs. Gillogly, our Junior Guard sponsor this year. She has been a huge support to our Junior Guard!
