Thank you to all who served our country!
Gratitude Challenge:
It's been SO cool to see all the gratitude happening on Twitter! We have A LOT to be thankful for! Keep tweeting with the hashtag #McKGratitude2017. If you haven't participated yet, you still have time!
Family Reading Night:
Our Family Reading Night last night was a huge success! We had almost 400 people attend! A huge thank you to the committee who did all the planning, as well as volunteering at the event. This building remarkable!
Listening Sessions:
Next week, have two family listening sessions- Latino (Tuesday) and Somali (Thursday). The listening sessions will be from 4:15-5:00pm in the library. The goal of these is to listen and gather information from families on education, McKinley, and their students. Superintendent Elstad will be joining.
Assessment Days Note from Libby:
For years there has been discussion around Home Child School
Day and many have questioned if it is the best venue for accomplishing the
goals that we have at the beginning of the year. This year, many of you
have had conversations about how difficult it is to complete the Fountas and Pinnell
assessments efficiently at the beginning of the year when routines are still
being established.
Several teachers have asked about the possibility of
assessment days at the start of the year. If you would like to provide
feedback around assessment days, Michelle Krell will be available on Thursday,
November 30th at 3:10 in the District Office Board Room.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Buffalo Wild Wings Fundraiser:
McKinley's PTO, in conjunction with BWW, is offering a fundraiser all day on Wednesday, November 22. A portion (I think 10%) of the proceeds from that day will go to McKinley School. This includes take out orders! What a great reason to go eat out!
Important Dates:
Just a reminder of some important dates at McKinley- click here to access the dates. Reminder- all staff should attend our Staff Power Hours from 2:40-3:10pm.
Building Newsletter:
The weekly newsletter will come out later today. Lorri has been out sick the last few days!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
