Tales from our Youngest Wildcats

Dear MACC Families,

It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to our MACC families. Thank you for being an essential part of our learning community!

As the weather begins to cool, we want to remind everyone to be prepared for outdoor recess. While we’ve been fortunate to enjoy some mild temperatures recently, we know the chillier days are coming. Please ensure that your child(ren) are dressed appropriately for outdoor activities. As the colder weather approaches, we encourage families to help students practice zipping zippers, putting on mittens, and wearing snow pants to foster independence. These skills are essential for ensuring students can enjoy their outdoor recess time without frustration.

Kindly,

Jennifer Stoneman, MACC Principal/Federal Programs Director

**Drive through drop off procedures are available for you .We encourage you to transition to this drop off model as soon as possible.

Daily Drop Off Procedures: ( September 16 - June 7)

Parents will use the “drop off zone” to allow their student to have a safe and efficient transition from car to school building. Please adhere to the drop off signs. Have your child seated in the rear passenger seat with their backpack zipped and ready to go. As you pull to the curb, an adult will open the back door of the vehicle and assist your child out of the car. School staff will be waiting inside to help your child navigate to their classroom.

Student Pick-Up

To ensure the safety of our students, parents are asked to pick up their child from a designated area each day. Students are dismissed to parents or authorized adults from that location. Although this procedure takes a few extra minutes, it helps to ensure greater safety for our students. Parents MUST come to get their student and check out with the adult supervising the pick up line. Students will NOT be released to go into the parking lot alone.

The following indicates where students from each classroom should be picked up at the end of the day:

Gould, Flynn: Students will be ready for pick up at the playground entrance nearest to the parking lot.

Verner, Goz: Students will be ready for pick up at the drop off zone at the front of the MACC building.

🔹Meetings are held at RRO CAT Lab at 6 pm. rropto@mapsk12.org
