I am so excited for our year to begin! I can truthfully tell you this is the most excited I have been in many years. The work we are doing at McKinley is amazing - your focus on all kids is impressive. Below is a picture of something I believe is one of my "why's" as an educator - the reason I come to work. Our learning environment is focused on students first. This picture helps remind us that it's students first, all the time.
Welcome to our New Staff!
Another huge welcome to our new staff! We are fortunate you are sharing your talents You are entering a magical place that is focused on learning and all kids! Welcome!
New District Logo:
The District has created a new logo this summer - it's very modern and looks awesome. As you can see from this logo, our tagline to ISD 761 is "Inspiring Excellence - Every Learner - Every Day". I think that speaks to the work we have been doing at McKinley to ensure it's all students, all the time. This is another example of the commitment we are making to ALL means ALL.
McKinley Educator Hub:
Just a reminder - we will be using the McKinley Hub to share all important McKinley documents. You will want to "star" this document to keep all year long! Click here to access the document.
Building Weekly Newsletter
For communication purposes, we use two methods from our office - one is my blog which contains bigger picture items, visuals, and learning items. The second is our building weekly newsletter which contains the "nuts and bolts" of McKinley - daily schedules, birthdays, etc. This is our first edition of the weekly newsletter - click here to access it!
Have a great start to the year and remember - it's all about building relationships with our students and families!
