Building a Better World, One Student at a Time
Join the PTO
Please - the PTO needs your help. Become a member. It is $6.00 to join. They have done so much for our students and staff. Join the team. To date we only have 25% of our community as members, I think we can strive to get to 90%. Let’s do it!
Home of the McKinley Mustangs
Grades 3-4It is hard to believe that another school year is over! Our McKinley Mustangs have had a year packed with lots of learning and many memorable and exciting experiences….none of which would have been possible without the dedicated efforts of the staff and the support of their families. In September, our former fourth graders will be entering the halls of the Intermediate School as fifth graders…we will miss you and wish you only the best! This year’s third graders will be returning to McKinley in the fall as fourth graders…we are so excited that you will be back to share your energy and ideas! To the students who will be new to our building next year…Welcome! We look forward to getting to know you as we show you how much fun it is to be a part of our school! Have a safe and enjoyable summer and thank you for another terrific school year!

Also, if your family’s financial circumstances have changed since the start of the school year, you may now qualify for the free and reduced program. If that is the case, see our web site for how to submit an application.
Please help to ensure your child’s success by providing a nutritious breakfast and establishing a consistent bedtime routine. Ask your child to share what he/she is learning in school each day and be sure to read to and with your child each day.
