McAuliffe Messenger
July 17,2023
Dear McAuliffe Families,
We hope this message finds you enjoying a wonderful summer break filled with relaxation, exploration, quality time with loved ones, and lots of reading! As we approach the midpoint of summer, we wanted to reach out and provide you with some important information to help you prepare for the upcoming school year.
Kindergarten Registration:
If you know anyone with children who will be entering kindergarten at McAuliffe Elementary, please encourage them to register online as soon as possible. Early registration helps us better plan and allocate resources for our incoming students, ensuring a smooth transition into the kindergarten program. Parents with ready to enroll their students in kindergarten for the 2023-2024 school year can go to our website or call the school office for more information.
On Tuesday, August 15th from 5:30-6:30 PM, we will be hosting "Popsicles with the Principals". It will be a fun opportunity to meet and mingle with our school leadership, enjoy some refreshing popsicles, and connect with other members of our school community. We look forward to seeing you there!
We will be hosting our Kindergarten Roundup on Thursday, August 17 at 9:00 AM. This event is specifically designed for incoming kindergarten students and their parents/guardians. You will have the opportunity to meet the kindergarten teachers, explore the classrooms, and learn about our kindergarten curriculum and expectations.
Join us on Tuesday, August 22 at 6 PM for our Open House. This will be an opportunity for your child to meet their teacher, visit their classroom, and learn more about the exciting year ahead.
School officially starts on Wednesday, August 23rd. We are eagerly looking forward to welcoming all our students back to school and embarking on a year filled with learning, growth, and memorable experiences.
School supply lists for the 2023-2024 school year can be found here.
We are truly grateful for your continued support and partnership in creating a nurturing and inspiring learning environment for our students. Together, we can make the 2023-2024 school year at McAuliffe a remarkable journey of growth and achievement.
Wishing you all a joyful and restful remainder of the summer!
