Hello McKinley Skippers!!
I hope that everyone had a great President's Day Monday and is ready to have a great week! We are so thankful to everyone who helped with the Valentine's Day parties on Thursday of last week.
As you may know, McKinley uses iReady to assess student progress. There are 3 benchmarking periods (Fall, Winter, Spring) We use this data to help us determine areas we can focus on to improve student achievement!
This winter we have identified development of vocabulary as our building wide goal. All teachers are setting a class goal to improve student vocabulary for the spring! Parents can help develop these skills at home. Check out this link from Reading Rockets for some ideas for supporting our efforts!
I hope you will consider joining us for the State of the Schools address as part of the State of the Village address, which will take place at the Village Counsel meeting at 5:30 this evening at the Fairport Harbor Senior Center.
Also, as a reminder, Spring Conferences will be held this Thursday from 3:30-6:30 at McKinley.
Make it a great week Skippers!!
