A Message from Principal Skyles
Hello, McDaniel families,
We almost made it through the first month of school without rain! Today was the first day that students ate lunch in the building. They did an amazing job of maintaining distance and choosing spaces throughout the building to eat.
Here is the reminder that was sent out via Trivory:
Current PPS Protocols enable students to eat inside if it is too wet to eat outside. They will be able to eat where there is enough space to eat comfortably and safely inside. McDaniel staff will be inside walking around during lunch to ensure the safety of students.
Students will be reminded to:
- Keep at least 6ft from others if their mask is off.
- Keep their mask on when not eating.
This week will be our first home football game of the season. Please note that students need to bring their Student ID with them.
As always, let us know if you have any questions.
Principal Skyles
