Important Safety Reminder for All Extra-curricular Events

We appreciate families supporting Maconaquah at extra-curricular events. We want to remind all families of the importance of supervising your children at all extra-curricular events. For the safety of our students, elementary and middle school students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian in attendance at these events.

Please note that running around and engaging in rough play, such as throwing footballs, rocks, etc., can pose a risk to both players and spectators. In order to maintain a safe environment for everyone, we ask that you refrain from allowing your children to participate in these activities.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated, as it helps us in creating a positive and safe atmosphere for our community.

School Store Fundraiser

It's not too late!

If your child has not turned in their form for School Store Fundraiser and would like to do so, they can bring it back next week. We have more prizes coming!

ILEARN CHECKPOINTS PILOT Gr. 3- 5

Maconaquah Schools made the choice to opt in to the IELARN Checkpoints Pilot for our students in grades 3 - 8. The information gained from the checkpoints will provide data to guide instruction for our students and support areas of need.

She gives her best effort and is always willing to try. Claire is kind and a great friend to others. She has an awesome sense of humor and is a great addition to our class family!
