SCHOOL PICTURES (IN PERSON AND REMOTE) - SAVE THE DATE
Remote families: For students learning remotely, photos will also be taken on Friday, March 5, from 2:00 to 3:00 pm. Students will enter at the McKinley Street entrance (Labeled B). Cars should pull forward to the next entrance (Labeled C) after dropping their students off. This is the entrance students will exit after their photos are taken. A staff member will be at the McKinley Street entrance directing students to the auditorium. After a student's photo is taken, a staff member will show the student where to exit. Students will be asked to wear a mask and sanitize their hands when entering the building. Sanitizer will also be available for students to use when they exit the building. This information will be included with the report card mailing.
Re-take day is scheduled for April 16.
Please contact the main office at 558-2348 with any questions.

HOW TO ACCESS REPORT CARDS IN INFINITE CAMPUS
HY-VEE CASH 4 STUDENTS UPDATE
How to Turn in Receipts:
Student can give receipts to their advisory teacher.
You can drop off receipts to McKinley, M-F, from 7:30 to 4:00. Just call when you arrive, and someone will come and meet you.
Send your receipts electronically. To sign up for electronic receipts, go to https://www.hy-vee.com/perks/ (Opens in a new window). Once you log in, it will bring you to your customer profile. Towards the bottom of the first column, it will ask you if you want to receive a digital receipt. Click yes. E-mail your electronic Hy-Vee receipt to Mckhyvee@gmail.com (Opens in a new window).
The program for this year runs April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021.
Ask friends, neighbors, relatives, co-workers to collect receipts for McKinley. It's not too late to start collecting and turning in receipts.
I am assuming the program will continue past March 31, so keep collecting receipts.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
