Tales from our Youngest Wildcats
Dear MACC Families,
As the holiday season approaches, we just want to take a moment to say a big thank you for trusting us with the education and care of your children. It's a privilege we take seriously, and we’re truly honored to be a part of their lives.
Seeing your kids grow, learn, and thrive is a constant source of joy and inspiration for us. Their curiosity, resilience, and creativity show us every day how powerful a supportive community can be in shaping bright futures. None of this would be possible without your trust and continued partnership.
The holidays are a time to reflect on all we have to be thankful for, and we are grateful to count your families as part of ours. We deeply value working together to create an environment where your children can excel academically, socially, and emotionally.
As we wrap up this year, we wish you and your loved ones a holiday season full of warmth, joy, and special moments. May the new year bring health, happiness, and success to your family.
Warmest regards,
Jennifer Stoneman, MACC Principal/Federal Programs Director

Dear Parents,
We are grateful to offer school bus transportation to ensure students travel safely and conveniently to and from school. School bus rides are an extension of the classroom, and students are expected to demonstrate the same level of responsibility and respect while on the bus. Proper behavior not only ensures their safety, but also the safety of fellow students and the bus driver.
We kindly ask for your support in reinforcing these expectations with your child. Key behavior guidelines include:
- Remaining seated and facing forward throughout the ride.
- Using kind and respectful language.
- Keeping hands, feet, and belongings to themselves.
- Following the bus driver’s instructions promptly.
By working together, we can make every student’s bus ride a positive and safe experience. Thank you for your partnership in supporting this important part of your child’s school day.
