We are more than a month into the 2011-2012 school year and I'm pleased to report that everything is going very well. Instruction is proceeding well, all students are appropriately engaged, and our PTA has already treated us to a great fundraiser and fun PRO Dad Pancake Dinner. I am always amazed at the community support and spirit at our school.
We have much more planned for the rest of the school year, including a Family Literacy and Math Night, Pumpkin Walk, and other parent/guardian activities for every grade. If you haven’t already, come and join the fun and let’s get to know each other better.
I feel so confident about each grade level in our school and have visited each classroom several times leaving with a feeling of satisfaction that we are doing the right things here at McKinley Elementary School. There are some things that we need to work on and our teachers are very sincere in improving and collaborating with each other to build upon each other’s strengths. We are trying to make every opportunity a win/win for all involved.
Our parent conferences will be held On October 12th and 13th. Your teacher will be contacting you soon about arranging a conference time that's suitable for you. It's important that every parent sit down with their child's teacher and have a candid conversation about their child’s strengths as well as their individual challenges.
Also, be sure to talk with your children about their school work to ensure their successful academic and intellectual development.
We're off to an exciting start and I'm delighted to be a part of it. Please feel free to give me a call or come and visit me with any concerns you might have or some exciting news you want to share. We are family here and my door is always open.
Mr. Chadaz
Thank you for your support.
