👋Message from Principal Wilson👋
Hello Mahaffey Families!
Come join us Tuesdsay, September 9th from 5:00-6:30pm as we kick off our Volunteer/Watch Dog parent meeting. Please come and join us and see how you can get involved at Mahaffey. We have had numerous classes earn their letter P (their goal is to spell out PLAID PAWS by the end of the year) for showing amazing PAWS expectations. Our PAWS expectations are (P-PLAID, A-Accepting responsibility, W- Work hard S- Show respect).
Our students are working on creating their beginning-of-the-year (BOY) goals based on their current performance. More information will be shared about this during the Open House on Wednesday, September 17th. We can't wait to see you there.
