The Brief Edition
. . . . . . . Monday Morning Meeting . . . . . . .
This week we had our Bulldog Recognition Assembly. Here is the Livestream Link.
Congratulations to all our September winners for modeling how to be safe, responsible and respectful students! We are so proud of you. You make McKinley a better place every day.
Show your support of Unity day and Bullying Prevention Month by wearing orange on Wednesday, October 19th. Let's get everyone wearing orange that day!
Volunteering
If you are a new parent or did not get your volunteer clearance, I recommend you doing so. In order to get cleared you'll need two things:
- Either a negative TB test result of a Risk Assessment form signed off by a physician.
- Cleared fingerprints (Here is the form) We suggest going to the UPS store between Trousdale and Murchison, let them know you are coming from BSD.
Change: Proof of Covid-19 vaccinations IS NO LONGER NECESSARY.
You can either submit both to me to send to Alison Bell, or you can send them to her directly at <abell@burlingameschools.org>.

BCE Needs Our Support
Save the Date for BCE's Annual Fundraising Gala and Live Auction - November 5
We're excited to announce that the BCE Annual Fundraising Gala has moved to the fall and will take place on Saturday, November 5, 2022, at the exquisite Domenico Winery in San Carlos. We are currently seeking Live Auction items and volunteers. More details about the event will be provided soon, but for now, save the date!
BCE Fall Drive in Underway!
Please join fellow parents and give during the BCE Fall Drive to support our school! Your investment helps fund teacher salaries and critical programs to ensure your student has every opportunity for a bright future.
Families that contribute any amount receive a Fall Drive lawn sign (while supplies last) to join the community in a show of support for our schools.
