MACA students are stepping into testing this week, and we already know they’re ready for it.

This is your time, just stay focused, trust yourself, and do your best. You’ve got everything you need!

Let’s hype them up! Drop some encouragement, good luck, or a little wisdom in the comments and remind them how awesome they are.

The end of the year is so close, keep pushing and let’s finish strong! 💪📚🙌

Bus 563 is not running this morning. It will run this afternoon.

We begin LEAP Testing for English I and II, Algebra I, and Geometry tomorrow. Please get a good night's rest tonight, and be at school by 7:25 am. Be sure to get to school early or eat a healthy breakfast. You do not need a calculator because the test has one embedded. All electronic devices will be turned in for testing and book bags are not needed. You guys will rock this test!

MACA Families – This Is NOT Your Typical Week-at-a-Glance!
Parents, students, and guardians – please pay very close attention to this week’s schedule.

LEAP Testing for high school students is happening this week!
Make sure your student is well-rested, on time, and ready to do their best.

We’re counting on everyone to be present and prepared – let’s make this a successful week, MACA!
