Principal's Message
Families may be hearing from Staff at McNair who are reaching out in an attempt to help complete the Online Data Confirmation for this school year. If you have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
I know many students use skateboards, bikes, and scooters, whether electronic or manual, to get to and from school. However, these are not to be ridden on campus. Families, please remind your students of this safety rule. Additionally, with the change in the weather, please make sure that students dress appropriately.
Lastly, we will have our first School Site Council Meeting of the year this coming Tuesday, October 22 at 3:30 in the Career Center. School Site Council is comprised of Administration, Teachers, Classified Staff, and Students. They are the body that drives the approval of our School Site Plan, which is what drives our Title 1 Funding. Everyone is welcome to attend the meeting, but only elected council members are able to vote.
Have a wonderful week!
Mrs. Nicole Vertar, M. Ed.

Ronald E. McNair High School
