This week is Teacher Appreciation Week! Without a doubt, I would not have been able to have become the person I am without some very special teachers throughout my life that helped shape and guide me. I'm sure we can all think of those teachers in our lives that made us better by pushing us when we didn't think we could do something, supporting us through difficult times or finding humor in the day to day. This is a great week to reach out to a teacher, either past or present, and let them know how much of a difference they made for you!
Make sure to check out info regarding the following below:
- AP Exams starting on 5/8
- Prom and Attendance Procedures on 5/10
- Bike Bazaar on 5/10 & 5/11
- Macedon Public Library Chat & Win Contest on 5/28
The prom is this Friday from 7-11pm at Casa Larga. We are looking forward to a fun night! Parents and guardians, please help reinforce the importance of making smart choices. Also, please be aware of our attendance regulations (see below) for participating in extracurricular events from the Procedures and Regulations for Extracurricular Activities on pg. 3:
A student must attend a full day of school, both on the day of an event and the day after, unless there is a legal excuse other than illness. If a student is not in school, unless for a legal excuse other than illness, they cannot participate in their Extra‐Curricular/Athletic Programs that day.
You can find examples of what constitutes a legal or illegal absence from school on pg. 15 of the Student Handbook. Please reach out to the office if you have further questions.
Congratulations to Andrea, Leah, Claire and Brody for earning the April Student of the Month Awards!
Thank you Officer Murray and Officer Halverson for coming in to demonstrate how balance, coordination and perception is affected with impairment goggles that simulated different levels of being under the influence. It was a great lesson about the dangers of drunk driving.
