The Maclay Community Association recognizes the diverse nature of families and is committed to creating an inclusive environment where all students and guests feel welcomed and supported. In the few events that are ‘parent specific’, we encourage and welcome students to invite a guest who holds a significant role in their lives to attend.
Who: All parents and guardians of Maclay students are automatically a member of the MCA. No fees or forms are needed membership.
What: MCA is focused on providing opportunities for all parents and guardians to volunteer and connect with our school community and with each other.
Why: The partnership between our parents and the School is an essential component to that success. We also appreciate that our parents want to be a part of our community and have talents and expertise to share.
How: Whether you have an hour a day or once a year, your time is valuable and needed. We want our MCA to be your connection to our campus, our families and our community.
Our Mission is focused on community, engagement, and connecting families together while supporting the faculty and staff who are educating our children everyday.
