Birthday Lunch
Again this school year, we will be celebrating student birthdays once a month, usually the third Tuesday of the month. This replaces the former tradition of bringing treats to the classroom. When it is time to celebrate your child's birthday, you will receive a reminder call a few days before as you will need to call ahead and let us know if you would like to have lunch with your student. Adult lunches cost $3.75.
McCandless PTO
Our first PTO meeting is on Sept 9th at 11:30. Please note that our meeting will be during the lunch hour. We are always looking for parents to join our PTO group! Please contact Amanda or Rachel at mccandlesspto@usd308.com if you are interested in being a part of our McCandless PTO.
