Dear McKinley Community,
Please be sure to write your student's name on their sweatshirts and jackets. We are picking up more jackets than ever recently, the majority with no name on them, and they end up in our Lost and Found. Labeled clothing ensures we can get it back to your child and you won't have to go searching for it.
Kind regards,
Gina

Youth Truth Survey- Opt Out Form
This school year, PCS is once again partnering with YouthTruth to administer a nationally-recognized survey used in hundreds of schools and Districts across the country, surveying hundreds of thousands of students. The survey asks students about their experiences in school, with their teachers, including how engaged they are at school, the rigor of their coursework, and their preparedness for their future. Our District, as well as many others, use such information for developing plans to help schools and teachers improve. Your child’s survey results will not be identified in any reports because results are shared at the group level, not on an individual level. Personally identifiable information will not be released to any third party.
Although participation in this survey is voluntary, our goal is to hear from all students. We will be administering the full YouthTruth survey in January 2023 for grades 3 - 12.
If you would like your child to be excluded from the survey, please complete the attached opt-out form and return it to the office by October 21st.
