Winter Benchmarking Starts Next Week
Winter Fluency Benchmarking starts Monday. Thank you to our wonderful EAs and Libby Zeman for taking the lead on this! Please make sure students are quiet in the hallway, especially in the areas where fluency is being assessed!
STEM Sub Outs Start Next Week
We have STEM Integration sub outs starting next week. Below is the dates/times each grade level will be subbed out with to work as a team on integration:
December 9- 2nd (AM), Kindergarten (PM)
December 16- 1st (AM), 3rd (PM)
December 17- 4th (AM), 5th (PM)
If your team hasn't let us know your focus for integration, please do so ASAP. Below is a link with more details about the schedule and guest teachers:
See the attachment regarding subs and times
PBIS Data for November:
Below is some data for discipline from September- November. Please remember to complete the referrals. This isn't meant to be an extra step- collecting this data will help us see where, when, and why we need to offer more supports for students (example- if we see discipline issues in the hallway at lunch, we will need to station an EA in that area at that time).
Also, please complete the referrals completely (date, time, etc.)

Winter Gear
Please make sure students are coming with and wearing their winter gear outside for recess. If you have a student who doesn't have the "winter gear", please connect with the families. If they need the resources, send them to Annette. I've seen more and more kids coming without gloves, boots, etc...
Also, students can wear hooded sweatshirts to and from the portable. Please allow them to grab their sweatshirt in their locker before music or art, if they need it. Remember, we will make an announcement if students should wear a winter coat.
MLK Professional Learning Day:
An email will be coming out regarding our MLK Professional Learning Day. Below is some basic information (which could change):
Superintendent Grant will do a short welcome. Then, for the next 90 minutes, we will listen to a presentation from Willow Sweeney (I've heard glowing reviews about her presentations). After Willow's presentation, there will be three 1 hour sessions for you to register for. The registration information will be sent out soon. There are no grade level or department meetings. You will have a late lunch that date- 12:50. After that, we will be back at McKinley doing some de-briefing work.
EA's- you will be working until 11:30 that day (Willow Sweeney all morning)
Paras & liasions- full day, working with Willow in the morning and then another training in the afternoon.
Food Services- Rachel will send information out regarding your day.
Again, more information will come out.
Valet Parking for the Week:
The Valet Parking spot for next week goes to Peggy Radtke. Peggy is an amazing teacher who strives to make physical activity a part of students everyday life. She truly cares for all our McKinley students and wants them to succeed. Peggy is so flexible, friendly, and a role model to all our students!
