RAPTOR UPDATE
The upgrade involves an entirely new platform, which means that all of our visitors will have to be rescanned, even if they have been scanned previously.
The good news is that once you have been scanned at one building, you will not need to be scanned again at other buildings in the district. We ask for your patience as we work through this upgrade to our system.
PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES
All conferences will be held virtually via Zoom. Click on the button below to sign up.
SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR
READ ACROSS AMERICA WEEK
AMAZON SMILE
McAuliffe Parent Teacher Connection (PTC) is now listed as a charity on Amazon Smile! Amazon Smile shopping is the same as your regular Amazon experience (your current account, same prices, products, look). The only difference is that 0.5% of what you spend goes to the McAuliffe PTC!
If you would like to select McAuliffe Parent Teacher Connection as your charity, click our unique link below and in the future be sure you are at Smile.Amazon.com rather than regular Amazon.com (they will look the same). If you already have the Amazon Shopping app on your phone, simply go to settings and turn on Amazon smile.
