OFFICE STAFF AND BUSINESS ASSISTANT

Our professional administrative assistant staff can help students sign out from school; request homework from your teachers if you will be absent for several days; prepare an official school transcript; and answer a range of general questions and inquiries about MacNeill and the Richmond School District.   The Business Assistant is the person to see to pay school fees (yearbook, grad, etc.), for lost/damaged textbook charges, locker or lock issues and to coordinate all club fundraising procedures.

LIBRARY LEARNING COMMONS 

All students are welcome in the MacNeill Library Learning Commons! We offer a large and updated collection of reading materials. We can help with inquiry and research projects. We have collaborative, multi-media tables, a green screen and 3-D printers that students can access.  The library is open from 8:00am to 3:30pm daily and assistance is available to students as they complete projects and essays. The MacNeill library is on Twitter & Instagram (@ARMacLib) and has a website where students can have direct access to our library collection as well as websites and excellent online databases. See the link on our school website and ask our library staff for help – we are here to support your research, learning and reading!

The School Liaison Officer is available as a resource person for students and staff and can provide general information on educational, legal and police-related matters.

GETTING INVOLVED AT MACNEILL

We want all students to feel positively connected at our school. Student leadership and personal and social responsibility are about being involved and participating in a positive way.  At MacNeill we encourage all students to grow as personally and socially responsible citizens. Students are encouraged to get involved in at least one out-of-class activity - join a club, help organize an event for others, try out for a team, sing with the choir, audition or work backstage in a play, go to open gyms, dress up on spirit days and enthusiastically support school events.  We believe that extracurricular activities are important and valuable; however, school comes first.  Students must be committed to regular attendance, good citizenship and satisfactory effort in their classes to remain eligible for extracurricular activities. Students can lose the privilege of participating in extracurricular events, teams, intramurals and activities (including grad events) for poor attendance, negative citizenship or inappropriate behaviour.
