Upcoming Events
Teacher Feature - Mrs. Busch
My love for children and my own personal love of learning is what makes me passionate about being a teacher. Teaching is all about the human relationships that are made. The camaraderie at McKInley School is amazing and I am so blessed to be a part of this incredible team!
Holiday Spirit Days Next Week!
Let's Keep Everyone Healthy and Our School Open
1. Screen your child for symptoms each morning before sending them to school.
2. Keep your child home for at least 3 days if they are not feeling well - sick children should not be at school regardless of the cause of the illness.
3. Keep the lines of communication with the school open - we all want what is best for your child and working together we can accomplish that!
