Please text or email Ms. Willard to let me know if your child and any parents will be attending this event. I have to order our tickets ahead of time. There is no charge for this event.
Seesaw Student Assignments & Family Support
Please support your child's virtual learning by making sure they are working on Seesaw everyday. Even on the days we Google Meet with them, they will still have Seesaw assignments to complete.
- School attendance for each day is based on 3 factors- they must be engaging in one of these forms of Micro-School: (1) independent Seesaw assignments, (2) working on Google Meet with Ms. Willard or Ms. Dollyhite, or (3) attending a place- based lesson somewhere in the community with Ms. Willard and Ms. Dollyhite.
What If My Child Gets Logged Out of Seesaw on Their iPad??
Using the log-in with gmail access and use their student email. I will send these to you privately. There are two options for password for all student emails, if one does not work, then try the other one.

Penny Willard
Director of Innovative Programming- Mount Airy City Schools (MACS)
My favorite role within MACS allows me to serve your children as a teacher, which is how I started my work in education. Our children deserve the best we can offer them each day to make sure they are happy while also being college and career-ready.
I am honored to support a variety of areas for our district including Micro-Schools, Federal Programs, After-School and Summer Programming (21st Century), Academically and Intellectually Gifted (AIG), Beginning Teachers and Mentors, Digital Teaching and Learning, National Board and School Media.
Catherine Dollyhite
Micro-School Facilitator
I began my career in education as an elementary school teacher, teaching both 4th and 5th grades over the course of 11 years. I then served as an Assistant Principal for 4 years before joining the Mount Airy City Schools family as the Curriculum Facilitator for Jones Intermediate. I am thrilled to be part of the MACS Micro-School team and to be able to work closely with our students and families.
