New U Staff Shirts
Order forms are in the office. The order forms do not not match what we are ordering - please see the pictures above as you place your order. Note that we will order v-necks and Polos this time around and the design is going to be smaller in the upper left corner. There are also some new shirts that PTO is offering as well.
Upcoming Board Meeting
On Monday, September 10th, McCandless will host the Board Meeting. You are welcome to attend, but you are not required. This is something new this year. The board is going to be going to each school once a year for a board meeting and I am so excited that we are first! The board will tour the school at 5:30 and then the board meeting will start at 6:00. Our part will be very short and then the regular portion of the board meeting will continue. If you choose to attend, please feel free to leave the meeting once our part is over. The board has asked for me to answer two main questions;
- What are you most excited about in your school and how would you share that with the board and community?
- How can the board assist and support your school to begin addressing the goal of graduating every student by 2025? In other words are there things we are doing well that need support? Are there things we do (or are required to do) that are counterproductive to student progress? How can we remove barriers to your success and the success of our students?
We are excited to share the amazing things happening at McCandless and to brag on the adults at McCandless because YOU are why our students are successful and I will make sure our board of education understand this as well.
