Weekly Update - Friday, May 24, 2019

Happy Friday, everyone!

McKinleyStrong Celebration
We filled the jar again!  Woo hoo!   We will have another school-wide celebration next Thursday, May 30 at 1:30pm.  Justin Lang will make an announcement today at 2:15pm for students.  It will be a surprise on what we are doing - more information will come out next week!

EA Positions:
As many of you know, our compensatory funding (money brought in from students of free and reduced status) has decreased for next year - by almost $90,000.  We are not the only site - all sites have seen a decrease.  Because of this, we need to be creative with funding for next year to create supports and opportunities for all students.

Because of this, our Educational Assistant positions for next year will look different.   We will move to a Kindergarten through Grade 5 EA position next year instead of a Kindergarten EA and Grades 1-5 EA.  The logistics of this are being worked out; however, just know that the positions will be combined.  I know this is not ideal - however, we don't have the money to support both positions.
