"When schools, families, and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and like school more. " The quote serves as a reminder that we all have a collective responsibility to our students. This week we encourage parents to reach out to your student's teachers if you have a question, reach out to the main office if something isn't making sense, or attend an upcoming event to get a feel for our school culture and community. Our Admin team takes pride in being available for our students and community, reach out and connect with us.

This past week was a short but busy week for activities at McKay High. All throughout the past week our Senior Class was celebrated for their involvement in Fall Activities. In the pictures below you will see our Band, and Cheer Squad, who were honored for their spirit and support of our teams. You will see that Volleyball and Girls Soccer ended their seasons, while our Football team honored their seniors ending their season in a victorious manner. Boys soccer will have the opportunity to extend their season this week as they begin their playoff run. Finally, we opened the doors to our school for conferencing between teachers and families.

The boy soccer team continued their impressive, ending the regular season undefeated and ranked #2 at the 5A level. This upcoming week they will begin their playoff run with a game at home on Tuesday at 4pm. This is a great opportunity to come support these student athletes.

As a reminder, when our McKay community is together, we have a shared responsibility to one another to maintain a welcoming and safe environment, both while in school and at after school sport events. We enjoy celebrating our students and their successes. Please join all of us to be respectful in word and action while we celebrate our community!
