From the Principal
Parent/Teacher Conferences are a great time to check in on how your child or children are doing in regards to our McKinley School Improvement Goals. In the area of literacy and math, we want our students to score in the 'low risk' category on our assessments throughout the year. By the end of the school year, we will also be looking for each student to make at least one year's growth on these assessments as well. If our students are scoring in the 'low risk' category, that means that they are on target to meet their literacy and math goals by the end of the school year. Some things to discuss during the parent teacher conferences with their classroom teachers to help them to reach their literacy and math goals are:
Where are your child's areas of strengths?
What are the areas that they are struggling in?
What goals can be set to help them to reach their goals?
What can be done at home to help them?
We look forward to seeing you at Parent/Teachers Conferences!

Dr. Seuss' Birthday Celebration!
McKinley Gym
A Green Eggs and Ham breakfast will be served as we recognize the many contributions of Dr. Seuss to children's literature. Guest readers will share his stories with our students. It should be a fantastic morning!
"I do so like
Green eggs and ham!
Thank you!
Thank you,
Sam-I-am!"
Winter Weather
Reminder...please dress your students warmly. If the temperature does not exceed -15 below zero wind chill, we will go outside for the entire recess break! Each class is outside for 20 minutes.
