Welcome to C.M. Macdonell
Principal's Message
Dear Parents, As we continue through this 2nd six weeks of the school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child’s education. The first six weeks were full of learning, growth, and positive energy across all grade levels, and I am proud of the progress our students have made. With the arrival of fall, we’re looking forward to an exciting season filled with both academic engagement and community-building activities. From our upcoming Fall Festival to classroom celebrations and seasonal learning projects, this is a wonderful time of year to foster creativity, collaboration, and school spirit. Please keep an eye on our school calendar and weekly newsletters so you don’t miss out on these events—we’d love to see you there! I also want to emphasize the importance of perfect attendance. Every day counts, especially at the elementary level where foundational skills in reading, math, and social development are being built. Students who attend school regularly are more likely to succeed academically and feel connected to their peers and school community. We understand that occasional absences are unavoidable, but we ask that you make every effort to ensure your child is present and on time each day. As always, thank you for trusting us with your child’s education. We are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and academically enriching environment where every child can thrive. Please visit our social media and homepage to keep on top of upcoming district events and weather. If you have any questions, or if there is anything we can do to assist you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Sincerely, Michelle Gonzalez Principal Christopher M. Macdonell Elementary
