Principal's Message
Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms out there! It's a day to celebrate and appreciate all the love, care, and sacrifices that mothers make every day. Whether you're a biological mom, a stepmom, an adoptive mom, or someone who takes on a nurturing role in someone's life, your love and dedication are invaluable. Wishing you all a day filled with joy, love, and gratitude!
Have a great week Meteors,
Dr. Godsey

SBAC Testing
SBAC Testing begins this week for 3rd through 8th grade students.
We ask the parents to do as much as possible to ensure that students do not miss class or come in late during the state testing window. We will not be able to remove a student from class during testing. If a student is tardy and testing has started, they may not be able to enter the class to test.
Assistant Principal's Message
At McPherson Magnet School we strive to maintain a positive and conducive learning environment at all times, we kindly request your support. Please remember to wear appropriate attire when visiting or volunteering on our campus. Clothing should refrain from offensive language or symbols, drug or alcohol-related imagery, or messages. Such clothing goes against our school’s dress code but can also be offensive, and distracting to the educational process for our students. Additionally, we ask that gestures and behaviors align with our values of kindness and respect. Let’s work together to create a safe and welcoming space for our children to learn.

BOX TOPS - WE NEED YOUR HELP!!
Hello McPherson Families! My name is Trinh and I'm your school Box Top for Education Coordinator.
Our school is participating in Box Tops, which means that you can earn cash with the products you already buy to help our school earn money for classroom supplies. We need your help, collecting Box Tops to earn cash for McPherson. Each one is worth 10¢! Everyone’s participation is helpful. Let's work together to give our students what they need to succeed — and see how much we can earn this year!
Here's how you can help:
If you haven't done so already, download the Box Tops app on your smartphone.
Buy Box Tops products, scan your receipt with the Box Tops app within 14 days of purchase and earn for McPherson with every Box Tops product you buy. The earnings through the application are recognized immediately. Our school will get a check to spend on classroom supplies. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE STUDENT & TEACHER’S NAME UNDER “GIVE CREDIT MEMO.”
Refer your friends, family and other parents in the school to sign up for Box Tops. You'll earn Bonus Box Tops for our school when your referral scans their first receipt! Turn on notifications in your Box Tops app to get scan reminders and stay updated on special offers, new products and opportunities to earn for our school. Go to your Communications Settings by tapping on the person icon in the upper-right corner of the app. · If you shop online, you can earn with your digital or email receipt, too. MCPHERSON MAGNET SCHOOL | School ID: 227368. If you have trouble scanning your receipts, please email Trinh a copy of the receipts immediately. Thank you for your support of the Box Tops Program and McPherson! We couldn’t do it without you!
