MACS Matters

May 8, 2026

Mrs. Maynard's message

Thank you PTO and Families for your kind remarks, delicious food, and gifts to all our MACS teachers and staff. We truly appreciate your students expressing their gratitude and appreciation! Thank you families for modeling this appreciation.
** NOTICE- Due to the Alachua County School District’s rezoning plans, MACS Alachua County residents may receive a letter from the district indicating that they need to re-register for a zoning exemption. If your student is remaining at MACS, you DO NOT NEED to take any action. Your student will remain registered at MACS.
** The book, A Land Remembered by Patrick D. Smith is being filmed. A scene from one of the earliest settings is being filmed in Micanopy in mid May. We are excited that our 3rd- 6th grade students may have an opportunity to tour the set. This filming will affect the traffic patterns temporarily. We will provide additional details as the time approaches. 
This was an IMPORTANT week of testing among our 3rd-6th grade students. From the looks of the scores so far, our students put forth their best effort. We are seeing GREAT proficiency and growth scores. Student reports will be sent home next Friday. 
Students in grades K-2 will participate in a waterslide party on May 14 and students in grades 3-6 will have an opportunity to go to Camp Cuscawilla for a pool party. Sign your permission slip, help sponsor and volunteer to help.
