I think the picture says it all.... haha!
In all honesty, just a reminder to finish strong. Our students only get their school year once - and many will be sad to see you (and their safe place) go away on June 4. Let's remember to finish strong and stay focused on our scholars....
Teacher of the Year:
A huge congratulations to our 2021 Teacher of the Year, Mark Langlois. Mark is a student-focused educator who is an expert at building community and making learning engaging. Mark is also a wonderful colleague and leader at McKinley. We are proud of you, Mark!
Class Placements -
We are in the process of working on the 21-22 class placements. We had Kindergarten (to 1st grade) placements this week and learned one thing - we need placement cards. Please come to the meeting with a card/post it note for each student. This will help when we begin grouping students.
Summer Building Work & Requests:
This summer, we have some work being done on the HVAC system in the existing building. This work will occur near the door into the gym (south side) - therefore, you should not need to do anything special in your classroom. Please remember to be cleaning your room up to be cleaned - things put away and nothing left out. If you have questions about your space, please let me know.
If you have work that needs to be completed (painting or other maintenance work), please complete the below survey before June 7: Click here to access the summer work form request (we can't honor everything will be done)
Wilson Support:
Starting Monday, I will be helping support Wilson School as we close out the school year. Please know that nothing changes here at McKinley because of this. If you need me, you can still connect with me (or email me). If you have discipline needs, please reach out to Steph or Selena. We have Ann Mikkalson (Teaching and Learning Coordinator) and Justin Lang to assist. This WILL be a great ending to a crazy year!
Reminders:
Just a couple of end of the year reminders:
- Senior Walkthrough is June 2 at 9:10. We will be outside in the drop off/pick up lane and they will walk through (if it rains, we will move inside).
- 5th Grade Graduation (virtual) is Wednesday, June 2 at 1:00pm. Please plan on watching from your classroom to support our learners.
- End of the Year Drive Through is Thursday, June 3 from 6-7pm. If you are available, please join us. This was a hit last year - many families (and staff!) felt like this was a great way to end the year.
- End of Year Activities (June 4) - a team is working on these activities and will share what our last day activities will look like.

Have a great, relaxing weekend!
