From the Principal's Desk
We are extremely proud of the results from our 5th grade scholars STAAR assessments. Their teachers did a remarkable job preparing them to be successful on the assessment. But, that is not the only thing we are proud of here at Macon. How well our scholars perform on state mandated assessments is important, what is more important is the way we rally around each other to provide the support needed to be successful. Our primary focus is and always will be on academic achievement and the success of our scholars. This is not possible without the dedication, commitment, and perseverance of faculty and staff members like you. We must continue to provide that level of commitment and support to each other and our scholars alike. WE still have another round of assessments right around the corner. Let us continue to be each other's source of encouragement, support, and motivation as we prepare our scholars for academic success!
