Summer Learning Camp at Macon County Jr. High School was put on a short lockdown earlier today due to an individual fleeing from the Macon County Justice Center courthouse and headed toward the school. The individual was apprehended shortly after. Students were never in danger and those that were outside for their activity were quickly escorted back into the building. The school was given the all clear a short time later and the lockdown was lifted.

Bus routes for Summer Enrichment Camp will start tomorrow around 6:00 am. Please be patient with us for the first few days, as it will take our drivers some time to gauge how early they need to begin their routes based on the number of students needing bus transportation. Morning drop-offs at each school begin at 7:00 am, and afternoon buses and pick-ups will begin loading at 2:45 each afternoon.

MCHS AND RBSS Families, Please see the notification that we have received from ACT Testing---Good news! Your scores from the Spring 2026 school-day ACT online test are available in MyACT.
As you may be aware, ACT had previously removed scores from online testing this spring in MyACT. After a rescoring process to ensure all scores are fair and reliable, your Composite score and section scores have either stayed the same or have slightly increased based on your individual performance. Your scores are not lower than what was previously available in your MyACT account.
We have shared reissued scores with your school. In addition, if you had ACT share your results with colleges or scholarship agencies, ACT is providing revised scores to each organization you identified. If you sent your scores outside of the ACT process, you should resend your updated scores (if affected) so that those institutions have the most up-to-date information.
