August 11 Update

Happy August, McKinley!

Welcome Back Letter:
Linked is my welcome back letter for the 23-24 with more McKinley-related information.  

23-24 Motto:
Our Motto this year is "Be You, Be Here, Belong.".  Below is the graphic we will use.  

Staffing Update:
I'm excited to share that Abby James will be joining our team as an Educational Assistant!  Abby has recently moved to Owatonna and will have children here at McKinley.  Please join me in welcoming Abby!  

If you know of anyone who is interested and would be a great EA, please have them apply online (and let me know).  We still have a position open.  

As I shared, Jen Schwab was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.  Jen will be taking off until January - we are in need of a LTS if you know of anyone.  

If you are interested in participating in a meal train for Jen's family, please sign up here: https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/nv295o

Important Dates:
Linked are the 23-24 Important Dates for McKinley.  Invites will begin going out next week (I already apologize for the 40 emails).  As you know, we will be doing one staff meeting a month (all staff) and moving our second staff meeting to PLC work.  This came from feedback from staff wanting more alignment and time together. More information to come on the PLC work. 


Hope you enjoy your last few weeks and the Steele County Free Fair!
