From the Principal

We are so proud of our second—and third-grade students for their hard work on their IREAD assessments this week! We also have a huge shout-out to our fourth—and fifth-grade classes for being respectful and quiet when they had to move past a classroom with student testing. For any students who were sick this week and missed their test, we will work with them to make up the tests next week. We have less than two weeks until a much-needed Spring Break for everyone! I hope you have a good weekend, and remember it's daylight savings this weekend, so TURN your CLOCK AHEAD on Sunday and be one time on Monday!

Military Morning "High 5"

On March 20th, students will be greeted in the morning by members of the USAF Security Police. They will be here to give them high fives and wish them a good day! These members will come every month to say hello to our students. With the Grissom Air Force Reserve Base located nearby, it is a great opportunity to form a partnership with them. We are excited to offer our students the chance to be encouraged by our military personnel!

Attendance (765) 689-9131

Parents or guardians must call the school attendance line when their child is absent. Call 765-689-9131 and wait to hear Maconaquah Elementary School and then attendance. Contacting the teacher is not the same as reporting it to the attendance line in the front office. When you call the attendance line to report a student's absence, please include why the child is absent, or it will be marked as unexcused. If a child is absent for a medical appointment, it is necessary to bring a doctor's note for the absence to be excused.

4th Grade: AJ McMasters

AJ McMasters is a great kid, and we are lucky to have him in our classroom. AJ is always willing to lend a helping hand to his classmates and teacher. AJ has been working hard to improve in the classroom these nine weeks, and his efforts have not gone unnoticed. Lately, you can count on AJ to sit quietly, read a book, or work on his classwork. He has great stories and enjoys telling them to his friends and teacher. He is also great about hyping others and making them feel good about themselves. We are grateful to have AJ as part of our classroom this year.
