September 1 Update

Happy First Week, McKinley!
It was great having families in the building, as well as the two days of students.  The first days of school always create new, unexpected events.  I appreciate your continued flexibility in handling these things as we create routines and relationships!  

Welcome Back To Do List:
Please don't forget to check the "to do list" to get everything turned in and completed!  

*Also, please get me a picture from when you were in elementary school!  

22-23 Theme and Graphic:
Our theme for the school year - "Yes You Can!"  Thank you to everyone who voted.  Below was the graphics with the most votes.  We have ordered signage for your classroom, as well as hallways (with this graphic).  More to come on t-shirts! 


Walkie Talkies & Outdoor Stuff:
Please remember - any time you take your classroom outside, you should stop in the office to get a walkie talkie (also - please let the office know when you go outside for anything other than your recess times). We use channel 4 for all McKinley communication.  This is critical, as Steph or Selena will not be able to relay any messages to you without the walkie.  

Infinitec Trainings:
These trainings are due October 28, 2022 - please get them completed!  

Completing the required online training modules through Infinitec, please click on this link Infinitec Instructions (2022) and follow the instructions. You will need to use your isd761.org Google account to access the modules. The training modules you need to complete are the following:   

a.       Anti-Harassment Training

b.       Bullying Basics

c.       Mandated Reporting

d.       FERPA- Understanding Student Confidentiality

 

Once you have viewed each video, you must take the quiz and receive a score of 80% or higher, otherwise you will need to re-watch the video until you achieve 80%.  DO NOT print out the certificate.  We will pull reports from the system and provide the results to the appropriate administrators and committees.  The training needs to be completed by October 28, 2022.


If you have any issues, please contact your building Technology Integration Specialist, thank you!


Special Education Paraprofessional:
We are looking to hire one Special Education Paraprofessional to join us.  Please share with those you believe would be make a great addition to our team!  


Building Weekly Newsletter:


Have a great Labor Day - enjoy the four day weekend!
