Last blog for the 22-23 school year! I will update this a few times over the summer to keep you in the loop.
Can you believe it - one week left of school! Let's make this last week a fun and memorable week focused on relationships!
Staffing Update:
Just an overall staffing update, as it's been a few weeks since I've shared. Below are new staff to McKinley next year:
- Jodie DeKam Valentine - 2nd Grade (2A)
- Amy Staloch - 4th Grade (4B)
- Kate Sailors - 4th Grade (4D)
- Katy Montgomery - Special Education Case Manager
- Erin Kruger - Behavioral Interventionist (BI)
- Xandra Stowman - K-5 Art
- New Counselor - we are interviewing some great candidates on Friday
Sadly, at the end of this year, we will be saying goodbye to Jesus Santiago, Julie Bauer, Abby Leemkuil, Mara Schack, Amy Wencl, Danielle Nystrom & Madi Ferris. We wish them well!
End of Year Checklist:
Below is the End of Year Checklist to help you close out the school year. Please turn in your copy to Steph when you are complete (please note - we still have 6 days of school left, so please hold on completing some of these items until late next week).
Just a reminder- summer programming is at McKinley, so classrooms/offices/spaces need to be cleaned and ready for programming.
Please let Steph or myself know if you have questions.
Student Showcase Next Week:
Just a reminder - next Wednesday is our all school Student Showcase. This event has taken the place of a traditional awards ceremony and is meant to honor all students, celebrating the growth and gifts from the school year. A few things -
- Doors will not open until 1:30; families will be asked to wait outside.
- Anyone visiting needs an ID/Driver's License.
- This is an open house format - families will come and go between 1:30-2pm.
- Please have families check their child out in Office if they are taking their child at 2pm.
