This week, is National School Counseling Week. It's a week to celebrate school counselors and the many ways they help students succeed both in school and in life.

We want to give a HUGE thank you to our amazing counselor, Mrs. Cowan, for all that she does! From teaching guidance lessons to helping students work through worries and solve problems to simply being a listening ear, she makes such a difference every single day.

Thank you, Mrs. Cowan, for caring so deeply for our students and helping make our school a safe, supportive, and welcoming place for all!

We hope you are all staying safe and warm!

McKinney ISD Parents and Guardians,

All McKinney ISD schools and facilities will be closed on Tuesday, January 27, due to forecasts indicating a continuation of the extreme weather conditions and hazardous road conditions throughout the area. The decision was made to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and families.

All school-related activities, including after-school programs and extracurricular events will be cancelled as well.

Current weather models indicate temperatures will rise above freezing by Tuesday afternoon, which should help improve road conditions. At this time, we anticipate a normal school day on Wednesday, January 28. We will continue to monitor conditions closely in cooperation with local emergency officials and will provide an update to families and staff on Tuesday.
