Parents/Guardians:
It is time once again for our Fall Newsletter, which highlights our 2025 School Summative Designations that were released on October 30, 2025. We have recorded a podcast with a detailed analysis of our summative designations along with our annual Fall Newsletter. Both are located on our district website at: https://www.massac.org/o/mcsd/page/school-summative-designations. We are very proud of all that our students and teachers accomplished in 2025, especially Jefferson Elementary School for receiving an exemplary rating.
