FROM THE PRINCIPAL
I would be remise in not mentioning the continued partnerships of the PTA and our school business partner, Heat Transfer Warehouse. They support many critical needs of our students and staff. We are truly blessed to have these important caretakers on-board at McKinley.
During this holiday season we wish you all safety, warmth, health and the love of family and friends.

Community members are invited to nominate a deserving Fargo Public Schools teacher, administrator, or support staff member for the annual Staff Recognition Program.

Winter Is Here!
It's that time of year when our students need to be dressed adequately for the cold. Please make sure that your child has mittens, hats, boots, coats and snowpants that are marked with their names, so if lost can be promptly returned to their rightful owner. It is important that our students are dressed warmly to participate during recess time. If the temperature does not exceed -10 below zero wind chill, we will go outside for the entire recess break! Each class is outside for 20 minutes.
