Why Should I Stay at McKinley?

 Sign Up for Parent/Teacher Conferences 

Dear Parents,

On behalf of the staff at McKinley Middle and High Schools, I am happy to welcome you to the 2018-19 school year!  We are looking forward to a school year filled with learning, social growth, and positive social experiences.  As the summer wraps up, the McKinley teachers and staff will be very busy getting ready to provide these experiences for your child. 

We recognize that in order to be successful in school, our students need support from both the home and school.  As partners, we share the responsibility for our children’s success and want you to know that we will do our very best to carry out our responsibilities. We look forward to working together this year for the success of all McKinley students.
We ask that you guide and support your child’s learning by ensuring that he/she:

• Attends school daily and arrives on time, ready for the day’s learning experience
• Completes all homework assignments given by teachers. (Please monitor progress with Parent Portal)
• Shares school experiences with you so that you are aware of his/her school life
• Informs you if he/she needs additional support in any area or subject
• Knows that you expect him/her to succeed in school and be college or career ready by graduation time
  As a school, we will:

• Provide your child with a rigorous and stimulating curricular experience
• Support your child through positive behavior interventions
• Communicate on a regular basis
• Encourage your child to be a lifelong learner and someone who contributes in a positive manner to society
  It is very important that you and your child(ren) are fully informed regarding standards related to appropriate behavior for a safe and productive school year.  School handbooks and the SLPS “Parent Information Guide & Student Code of Conduct” will be distributed the first week of  school.  Please review these with your child at the beginning of the year and periodically throughout the year.  Additionally, the McKinley web page is a great way to keep track of what is going on at our school.  We will make efforts to keep the calendar updated on a regular basis.  (Middle School https://www.slps.org/Domain/3164 and High School https://www.slps.org/Domain/2997).   Find more information under the headlines at the bottom of our webpages.
  The staff will host several Open Houses on the dates listed in the table below to help you and your family get to know McKinley.  We look forward to seeing you there.  Student Class Schedules and locker assignments will be distributed.
