What a great week of relationships, relationships, relationships! It's great having our McKinley Family back in the building!
McKinleyStrong Assembly - Monday:
We have our first assembly this Monday at 8:55am. Please check the seating arrangement so you are aware of where to sit. If you have questions, please see Justin Lang.
Better Together Session 2 - Who Do We Want to Be as a Community?
Next Tuesday, September 10, a townhall meeting will be held at OMS from 6-8pm. This is a second-part series on creating a sense of belonging for everyone in Owatonna, regardless of your race. There was a great turnout for session 1 - consider joining session 2! We need your input!
Lunchroom Routines:
Please remember to stick to your assigned lunch times. If you are even a few minutes late, you will impact the other grade levels.
Also, after lunch, EA's will be walking grade levels down to classrooms. We will not be dismissing individual classrooms in the lunchroom, even if a teacher is present. It's pretty busy in there, too hard to send individual classes, & there isn't much room.
Impact Statement/Your "Why":
Please get these updated and sent to me. This includes ALL staff - not just teaching staff. If you have questions, please let me know.
Biases:
Last year, we took some time to examine biases - how they impact our experiences with ourselves, as well as others. Below is a great reminder of the power of biases. As you enter into week two, I'm asking you to reflect - what biases do you have any how are they impacting our learners?
