Dear Parents and Guardians, Today, MACA experienced some air conditioning issues across campus. A repair to the main breaker is scheduled to take place soon. Until then, students are expected to attend school and complete their assignments, as classes will continue with teachers instructing as usual. Please note that some classrooms may be relocated to different areas of the school during this time. To help ensure a comfortable environment, the school board has provided box fans for the affected classrooms. We will keep you informed as we work to resolve the issue. Thank you for your understanding and support. Sincerely, MACA Principal
