Dear Maconaquah Parents and Students,

The 2020-21 school year is quickly coming to a close, so we want to make sure that we properly communicate our 1:1 device collection plan as we prepare to end this school year.

For All Remote Students:

On Thursday and Friday, June 3rd and June 4th, all remote students must check in their school-issued devices, chargers, mobile hotspots, library books, and textbooks at Maconaquah High School (Door 2S) anytime from 9 am - 5 pm. We will have multiple technicians standing by on those days to clean, inspect, and invoice (if needed) for broken devices and lost styluses/chargers.

For In-Person Students:

Maconaquah Middle School - Laptop collection will be on Tuesday, May 25
Maconaquah High School - Laptop collection will be on Monday, May 24
Pipe Creek and Maconaquah Elementary (K-5 classrooms) - during the last week of school (May 24-28) we will send out a Google Slides presentation and provide cleaning wipes for teachers to walk their students through cleaning their devices, logging out, and storing their devices in their carts.

This summer, the technology team plans to clean, fix, re-image, and update every 1:1 device to ensure everything is ready for another year of school.

For Middle School and High School Summer School Students:

All middle school and high school students that have agreed to attend summer school will be responsible for keeping their devices at the end of the school year rather than checking in their devices with the rest of the students. Students enrolled in summer school will return their devices on the last day of summer school, Friday, June 18th.

For any questions or concerns please contact Mr. Percival at percivalc@maconaquah.k12.in.us or 765-689-9131 ext. 5999.

Thank you,

Maconaquah Technology

Welcome from Dr. James Callane

Dr. James Callane

Thank you for taking a look at Maconaquah School Corporation!

My name is Dr. James Callane, and I am the Superintendent at Maconaquah. Over my 20 years at Maconaquah, I have learned that there is no corporation quite like it.

Maconaquah is a rural corporation that has a rich, blended history of agriculture and military influence of Grissom Air Reserve Base. The corporation serves the six southern townships of Miami County and surrounding communities, and we have four school buildings that serve our 2200+ students from preschool through 12th grade.

Pipe Creek Elementary School serves about 450 students PreK-1. Pipe Creek houses a multitude of preschool programs for varying developmental stages as well as household income levels, and it is an On My Way PreK school. It also has a STEM lab and designated STEM teacher.

Maconaquah Elementary School serves about 730 students grades 2-5. Mac El is outfitted with a STEM lab and designated STEM teacher, it became a STEM-certified school by the Indiana Department of Education in 2018, and it has been a No Excuses University School since 2014.

Maconaquah Middle School serves about 500 students grades 6-8. Mac Middle was one of the first schools in the state to become STEM-certified by the IDOE, it has partnered with Purdue University extensively to integrate STEM into all of its instruction, and it boasts an impressive Farm to School program known as “Maconaquah Cattle Company.”

Maconaquah High School serves about 640 students grades 9-12. MHS has a graduation rate of more than 95 percent, and is quite successful in academic, athletic, and art-related extracurricular activities. MHS was also rated an A school by the IDOE in 2017.

In 2011, our school became a 1:1 corporation, meaning every student became equipped with a computing device. This led to numerous corporation-wide initiatives that kept Maconaquah a cut above other school districts across the state, region, and nation. In 2014, Maconaquah was granted first privilege to utilize eLearning days in place of snow days.

The corporation also has a great relationship with the Miami County Sheriff’s Department, which partners with Maconaquah for our School Resource Officer program, and with the Indiana State Police, which is posted a few miles north of our buildings.

But what is more valuable and more important than our corporation’s many accolades is the character of our staff. In my many years as an educator and my experience as a father with two children in Maconaquah school buildings, my wife and I have never come across such caring and big-hearted individuals. Without them, our school corporation’s culture wouldn’t be nearly as nurturing as it is.

Maconaquah’s mission statement is “inspiring and empowering our students to meet tomorrow’s challenges,” and we pursue that mission with intention every day.

Thank you again, for taking a look at Maconaquah School Corporation. We hope to see you soon!

Go Braves,

Dr. James Callane

Superintendent
