MicroSociety Charter Offering Parents New Fall Choice



The MicroSociety Academy Charter School of So. NH (MACS) Start-Up Team has announced the official start of the K-8 public charter school’s first student open enrollment period in preparation for opening this new school NEXT FALL to 120 K-5 students at a Greater-Nashua location (TBA). The registration deadline is Friday, March 6, 2015 @ 5:00 PM.

Dave Cronin, one of the team members from Pelham stated, “If parent demand warrants, the MACS Board will also consider seeking authorization from the NH Board of Education to admit grade 6 students.”

If the number of applicants exceeds the number of seats (20 per class) a student enrollment blind lottery will take place on Wednesday, March 18, 2015,1:30-3:30 PM in the Nashua Public Library Theatre, 2 Court Street in Nashua.

Cronin elaborated, “Students not selected at the lottery will be placed on a Wait List. Students with late registration forms will be placed at end of Wait List in the order received.”

Student registration and enrollment policies/requirements and application are now available to download on MACS website www.macsnh.org or Facebook www.facebook.com/nhmicroschool “Notes” section. 

Parents may also pick up the application and obtain information in person during the “MACS Facts” Parent Info. Sessions series starting next week in Nashua (Nashua Public Library--East Wing Rm. Thurs., Jan. 29 @ 6:30 PM). Other sessions are being held in Hudson (Rodgers Public Library, Tues., Feb. 3 @ 6:30 PM), Hollis (Hollis Social Library, Wed., Feb. 11 @ 6:30 PM), Merrimack (Merrimack Public Library, Tues., Feb. 17 @ 6:30 PM), and Nashua (Nashua Boys & Girls Club, Tues., Feb. 24 @ 6:00 PM). Parents from any NH community are encouraged to attend at least one session.



*(Due to blizzard our Nashua Parent Info. Meeting has been postponed from Tues., Jan. 27 until THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 6:30 PM East Wing Nashua Public Library. Check our MACS Facebook and Website for any more updates.)

Team member Marc Sylvester noted, “These information sessions will be very helpful because the school’s unique MicroSociety theme in New Hampshire is attracting a lot of parent attention. MACS teachers will be teaching the required NH Core Curriculum and infuse technology as they provide students with opportunities to practically apply and reinforce their classroom learning by operating the agencies, ventures, and institutions of their own small society, similar to our larger society.”

Parents who plan to enroll their children at the “MACS Facts” meetings need to bring all required documentation to submit with a completed application. Required documentation, similar to various Greater-Nashua communities and other Charter Schools, includes: Birth certificate/passport (Kdg. child must be age five (5) by Sept. 30th); Updated immunization record; Recent medical exam report; Two proofs of residency: 2 different utility bills or copy of home deed/lease agreement; and applicable legal paperwork.
