Feedback for Johnston

Please take a moment to provide feedback, questions, and/ or compliments about the current school year. Your suggestions allow ongoing opportunities to build on and continue the growth of McDade Elementary. A few items I plan to integrate towards the end of this school year (for next year) are: Safety Patrol, Principal's Advisory Council, "Principal for a Day," and MES Clubs/ Organizations.

🚗Transportation Changes, Absentee Notes, and Attendance 🤧

Mrs. Shelby and I will be making plans for an MES Saturday School. All students whose absences have fallen below the 90% attendance rule will be required to make up the time. This ensures that students in grades Kinder through 12th must attend class for 90% of the time it is offered to receive credit or a final grade.

When your student(s) are absent, please deliver or email doctor's notes/ parent notes to Mrs. Shelby at the email address below:

shelby.glona@mcdadeisd.net

If you need to make a transportation change for your child(ren), please do so by 2:00 pm. Calls after 2:00 may not be accommodated.
