Remember NO SCHOOL FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9th AND FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16th.  
Thank you to the families who have supported the Otis Spunkmeyer Fundraiser!  It raised $9000 for the school.  Join us at the next PTO meeting on October 19 @ 6:00 pm to learn about the PTO goals for this year.  
 
We are proud to announce that our VPK program had the highest Performance Metric score in Alachua County for the 2025-2026 year.  The Metric score is comprised of three parts- Independent observation of program quality, Student learning gains and Student Achievement! Way to go VPK team and 25-26 VPK students!  

Construction resumes Monday, 10/12.  Construction should not affect traffic, but please be aware and be patient if we have any delays.   

Our Annual Halloween Parade is scheduled for Friday, October 30.  – Weather permitting 

  • VPK will start the parade at 8:30 and do the first loop around and then the rest of the school will follow at 8:40.   
  • All parking will be at the back of campus at the ballpark.   
  • The school parking lot will be available for parking AFTER 8:20.   
  • Bring a lawn chair to sit, if you would like.  
  • Costumes MUST be school appropriate.  Fake blood, scary faces, and weapons are not allowed. This is a great opportunity to have fun and be creative.  Home crafted costumes are encouraged!  

We need lots of volunteers for the Micanopy Fall Festival. This is a great opportunity to get in your volunteer hours! The proceeds that the event makes get donated to the school PTO.  Come represent MACS!  

Attendance Matters!

 Every school day counts— Thank you for having your student at school EVERY DAY! – See you Monday.
