Weekly Update - Friday, May 3, 2019

Happy Friday, everyone!
Next Week is Teacher Appreciation Week & Nutrition Services Week.  Take some time to recognize yourself and your colleagues for all the service, compassion, and energy you give to our McKinley learners. 

Last Day of Support Services:
Our last day for support services (EL, tier 2 & 3) and Power 20 will be Friday, May 31.

Summer Programming at McKinley:
Our building will be used again this summer for a few programs - Minds at Work, K-Kamp, ESY, Migrant, and summer lunch program.  Please make sure your classroom/area is closed up and all items are put away.  If there are items you are worried about getting ruined, you will want to consider bringing it home.  I believe every room will be used this summer. 

If you have questions about this, please let me know! 

Ramadan:
Ramadan is approaching for many of our Muslim families and students.  Please be aware of what this religious event is and how it may impact our learners/families during the month of May.  If you have questions, please let Nura know. 



Track Meet:
Our McKinley Track Meet is next Tuesday (with a rain date of Thursday).  Attached is the busing and lunch schedule for the day. 

Last year, we had a lot of complaints on students' behaviors in the stands. We are assigning more staff to monitoring student behavior when they are watching - this is really for those participating, not watching. 

Please remind your students that the same expectations apply at the track meet as they do at school.  Last year's behavior included running in stands, throwing garbage, swearing, and just overall disrespect to those who are watching the event.  If this behavior does come up, students may miss out on some end of the year activities.  Also, if you monitor this behavior and feel it warrants an "office referral", please find me on the field.  They can sit with me for a while.


Spring Concert:
What a magical spring concert last night!  A huge congratulations to our Orchestra, Choir, 1st, & 2nd Graders for their performance at OHS.  And, a huge congrats and thank you to Mrs. Moon, Mrs. Andreen, & Mrs. Revier for their hard work and talent last night.  Nice work!
