I hope you had another great week!
December 22-23 Plan:
To provide the gift of time for each of you, below is our plan for December 22-23. Our McKinleyStrong Team worked hard to create this option to ensure everyone gets a little "time". Please see the note below to access the plan - Click here to access the plan
Transition Day - January 3:
January 3 will be our transition day after winter break. Linked are some plans for the day. Please remember - these days are designed to slowly "ease" back into school - focusing on rebuilding relationships, re-establishing routines, and regulating students (and staff!). If you have other activities that help focus on those goals, feel free to use them.
A huge thank you to Sami Nelson, Michelle Meiners, and Lori Huisenga for organizing this day!
Also, Thursday we have an adjusted lunch schedule:

Emotions and Energy:
I know many of you are exhausted. I can feel it myself. We are just waiting for December 23 to arrive to take some time to relax, rejuvenate, and celebrate with family and friends. Please remember that this may or may not be the case for some of our students, too. Emotions and behaviors may be higher next week - mostly due to our students' knowing about the upcoming break. To many of them, school is safe, predictable, and meets many of their needs. When they are home, they may not have these same experiences. As we enter into next week, please remember we may need to show more patience and practice re-teaching behaviors.
