Come join us at our “Ancestor’s Table: You Belong at McKinley- Where Else Do You Belong?” on Saturday!
The McKinley PTA is excited to announce a FREE community event taking place on Saturday, March 12th, at 11 AM at our beautiful McKinley School.
We want to celebrate the diversity of our students by sharing food, music, and culture from where your family calls home. Don’t know where you’re from? We invite you to share anything you identify with as being part of your history, anything that shows where else you belong as a family. Join us for an event to come together as a McKinley family.

Spring After School Enrichment Sign Ups Start March 14th!

Registration will be online or by paper forms (available in the office). Classes begin immediately after school.

Do you want to help your teacher in a fun and rewarding way?
In a recent survey of McKinley staff, the #1 ask was for more parent support. One of the ways staff identified we could help is by volunteering out on the blacktop during recess and lunch, allowing staff more time to focus on meeting the complex needs of their students.
Just one recess (10:05 – 10:45 am) or lunchtime (11:45 am – 1:00pm) per week (more or less if you’d like), one-month commitment to start. We welcome a longer commitment.
Click here to sign up – grab a friend to join you, or plan to make new friends!
