Principal News
Dear MacArthur Families,
I would like to wish our MacArthur Math Bowl Team the best of luck at their competition this Tuesday, April 12th. The Math Bowl Team will be competing at Wheeler Middle School at 5:00 p.m.. On Thursday evening Mrs. Jostes, Mrs. Howell, & Mrs. Hummel were able to meet some of their future students at the Birth to School Kindergarten Readiness Program. This year’s in-coming Kindergarteners are the Class of 2035. If you have an in-coming Kindergarten student and missed the first event you still have one more opportunity on May 5th at 6:00 p.m. in MacArthur’s cafeteria.
Our teachers are beginning to work on class lists for next school year. If you and your family are moving please let us know.
Have a great weekend,
Marian Buchko

Car Rider & Walker Safety
The weather is starting to warm up and that usually means more students are walking home from school! Please take a moment to review a few friendly reminders about car rider and walker procedures to help dismissal run more smoothly.
· Students that are WALKING home exit the front of the school or door 6N, depending on which neighborhood they live in. They should safely cross with the crossing guard.
· Car riders should be picked up in the car rider line. Parents CANNOT walk up to the car rider line to pick up their student. This is to ensure the safety of students loading into their car.
· Parents, if you are WALKING to your CAR to drive your student home, then your student is considered a CAR RIDER and you need to be in your car in the car rider line to pick up your student. You should not be parking in the main parking lot or a side street and walking up to meet your child.
Please make sure your child knows if they will be a walker or car rider, so we can ensure your student is going to the correct location for pick up/dismissal.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation as we are trying to make sure our focus is to ensure the safety of ALL students.
