Half Day Release

Library Book Need to Be Returned
PLEASE TURN IN ALL LIBRARY BOOKS ASAP! Mrs. Hooper is worried about all the missing library books and would appreciate everyone looking around their homes. No one wants a library fine and we would really much prefer to have the book back.
Attendance Matters!
Students need to log in to the portal daily and go to the daily student attendance check in. Students must log out daily as well. Please do not leave the portal open or your attendance will not be recorded.
Spring Clothing
The warm weather is on its way (we are hopeful) so are the children’s desires to get into their spring and summer clothing. On warm days, children may wear shorts to school. We suggest that the shorts be mid-thigh in length, both for ease of movement and for comfort when sitting on plastic chairs. We ask that all clothing be appropriate for school and not a distraction to the learning environment or to other students. Clothing with drug or alcohol slogans, or violence-related clothing, are not considered appropriate for school. Also, students should avoid shirts showing bare midriffs and backs. We also strongly recommend that children not wear open-toed shoes or sandals to school because of the risk of injury to the feet on our busy playground.
Placement Consideration Form for 2021-2022
Placement Consideration Forms are available in the office or on the McKenny website for placement for the 2021-22 school year. The Placement form is not used to request a specific teacher; we want to know about the student. The forms are due in the office no later than Friday, June 4th.
