Special shout outs go to Ms. Stauffer and Ms. Corso who met their attendance, behavior, Reading, and Math goals this year! Their students are lucky to have them!!

Today we celebrated our 8th grade graduation and kindergarten move up ceremony. Congrats to the class of 2025!!

Today all of our students who made at least a years worth of progress in Reading and Math got to celebrate all their hard work at Dave and Buster’s!! You can tell by the smiles on their faces the hard work was worth it!!

Good morning McKinley families. As of right now, Monday, May 12th at 7:49 there is currently no power at McKinley. Peco is on site and working to resolve the issue. We currently do not have an estimated time for power to be restored. As updates are available we will share them with you.

Today some of our scholars got to go to Smith Playground. They enjoyed their time at the playground and can’t wait to go back!

They practiced reading in the library, pretend/imaginative play, sharing/taking turns, worked on fine and gross motor skills, and had so much fun!
