Happy May 28th!
Another great week of learning at McKinley!
A couple random updates:
- Report cards go home next Wednesday. Please make a note so you remember to send them home that day!
- OHS Seniors visit McKinley on Wednesday at 9:10. Please be outside (around the drop off/pick up lane) and ready for 9:10. If there is rain, we will move inside.
- Superintendent Elstad is doing an all-staff drawing on Thursday morning at 7:45am. The link will be shared as we get closer.
- Staff Breakfast - reserve the date! We will meet on Monday, June 7 at 7:45am in the gym.
Drive Through:
Our End of the Year Drive Through is next Thursday, June 3 from 6-7pm in the drop off/pick up lane at McKinley. This is a time to wave, cheer, and have closure to the school year. We will start letting families into the lane at 6:00pm. If you have signs you want to make, feel free! This was fun to see last year. This was a highlight for many of us last year - hoping for another great drive through!
5th Grade Graduation:
Wednesday, June 2 is our 5th Grade Graduation. This is virtual - and always a highlight for all of our K-5 students. Please plan on watching from your classroom at 1:00 on Wednesday. The link is here (and in the building calendar) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOR8AX2a_9s
Summer Reading:
Don't forget about the books we will use next year - Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man (all staff) and Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain (teaching staff). I know summers are often a time to enjoy reading (more than the craziness of the school year), so I wanted you to have the books earlier. A great way to get a jump start on reading!
Closing Up the Year:
As we close out the year, please see the below checklist to help guide this process. Please know that I am only sharing this early, as there are items that may require you to do some planning. We still have 9 days left of school - if students see things being closed up (or boxed up), they will start to close their year up, too.
Please give your completed checklist to Steph or Justin on June 7. Thank you!
