Intercultural Cafe: This Friday 9/2! Come for the coffee, stay for the community.
Not able to make it to the last PTA meeting? Want to make some new connections across our McKinley community? Just love coffee?
Join the McKinley PTA Family Engagement Team at our first monthly Intercultural Cafe! Friday, September 2nd, after drop-off in the morning, under the overhang outside the front office. Pick up the PTA meeting minutes (in English or Spanish) and get to know new people. See you there!
Help us connect our McKinley community with our new school directory!
We are putting together a private directory to help all our families connect with other families for birthday parties, carpooling, playdates, questions about activities.
This directory will also allow your class parent to send out email messages from time to time to your entire class about important announcements. You’ll have the option to only share your contact information with your class parent and not in the full directory.
Fill out the form once per family here: bit.ly/MustangDir
