FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

Happy Sunday and welcome back to what will be the greatest school year at Macon-Hall! School starts tomorrow and we are looking forward to seeing everyone in class on the first day. Below are important reminders and operational items to be aware of as we start the school year.

Class Assignments:
If you do not know your classroom assignment, please come to the gym in the morning and we will identify the class or assign a class for your student. We tried to accommodate most requests but now classes are full.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ATTEND THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. STUDENTS THAT DO NOT ATTEND ON THE FIRST DAY ARE AUTOMATICALLY DROPPED OUT OF OUR SYSTEM. WE CAN'T GUARANTEE YOUR SPOT IN A REQUESTED CLASS WILL BE AVAILABLE ONCE THEY ARE FULL.

Arrival/Dismissal
Please adhere to the rules and expectations of arrival and dismissal.
Do not skip in the car line. It will seem long but will run through quickly. We ask for patience and respect for all of our parents.
Pull all the way down in line to fill in the space so we can unload and load as many students as possible. This will help the line move faster.
Car rider line is in the back of the school off of Siskin and Dew Cv. A map is attached to show all dismissal locations.
Students are not to get out of the cars and enter until 8:45 am.
Buses are up front so no cars are allowed during the dismissal and arrival times.

IF YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR STUDENT ON THE BUS AND YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE SCHOOL TO RECEIVE A TAG, PLEASE PUT THE MOST UP TO DATE PHONE NUMBER IN THEIR BAG SO WE CAN ENSURE WE GET THE RIGHT BUS TAG. If you are able to bring them the first day, that is ideal because we will be able to get all information for the correct bus. Sometimes, students do not remember their full address information.

Class Dojo
Most students have been entered into classes, so you should have received an invite automatically from Dojo to join the class.

Parents Walk-in First day
We are allowing parents to walk their student in for the first day to class. Please do not park in the car line.

Registration
If you still need to register, you will also be directed to the gym and registration will begin at 10:00 AM

School Dress Code Policy
We do not require uniforms. However, please refer to the dress code policy along with all of our policies in the Family Handbook located on our website.
