Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! The staff at McIntire are looking forward to a great school year of learning, collaboration, and growth for ALL of our students.

For the first time in over 30 years, McIntire will not have Kindergarten as part of our building. We are returning the majority of our staff and students from last year, inviting a few new faces. We are at a pivotal moment and are optimistic for the best school year yet!

Please expect communication from your child's teacher on a weekly basis. This will likely be in the form of a newsletter but also could come in the form of a Remind message. You will hear from us monthly on the first Friday via newsletter. If you are looking for more frequent updates, follow our McIntire Facebook Page!

Let's commit to partnering together this school year to making this a positive school experience for your child! To do this, we need your help in communicating any questions, concerns, or ideas you may have directly to us or any of our staff.

See you soon!

We welcome parents into the building at McIntire with a scheduled appointment or planned events. This will allow us to serve you to the best of our abilities. For consistency purposes and increasing instructional time, please do not walk your student into the building at arrival. Your student walking into the building and getting to class on their own, helps build your child's independence.

Class assignments will be visible in Infinite Campus by the end of the day on August 16th.

McIntire had an attendance rate of 84% last year. We dropped 2% from last year. Our goal this year is 90% attendance for every student. We'll be sending home information each month about our attendance goal, along with communication about your child's specific attendance rate if they are at risk. You will also see communication from the district about the importance of consistent school attendance. Our hope is that school is a safe and engaging space for our students so they all want to attend every day!

Breakfast will still be provided to all students this school year at no cost. Lunch will cost if you do not qualify for Free or Reduced lunch. Fill out the FRAM application below to see if your family qualifies. If you need a paper copy, we can get one of those to you at Open House.

If you have any questions, please contact our Food Service Department at 573.590.8045.
