From the Principal's Desk
As we begin to prepare for the end of year assessments, it is imperative that we are cognizant of the importance of our scholars readiness for the next grade level. We can not accomplish our campus goals without the support and commitment of every staff member at Macon. While the scholars may be taking a 4th or 5th grade assessments (for example), how well they perform is a direct reflection of how well we have prepared them to move from grade-to-grade. There is no substitute for the classroom teacher! Your daily attendance is paramount to the success of scholars. YOUR ATTENDANCE MATTERS!
