Ex: Our character trait for the month of August is CREATIVITY. We will be looking for the students who show the CREATIVITY this month. What does CREATIVITY mean to you? Creativity: the use of the imagination for original ideas. Watch Kid President talk about Inventors.

We are looking forward to welcoming visitors and volunteers back into our building on Thursday, September 17th. In order to volunteer on any McKinney ISD campus, you are required to complete and pass an annual criminal background check.

Below is the link and information from the district website for you to complete your annual criminal background check. We encourage you to complete your background check sooner than later. At the beginning of the school year, it may take longer for your background check to be approved due to the high volume of parents completing the process.

The volunteer grace period for parents that passed their criminal background check for the 2019-2020 school year, will expire on Wednesday, September 30th.

We look forward to seeing YOU at school soon.

Free and Reduced program applications have been delivered to the front offices at the school. To enable social distancing and an easier experience for the parents, we recommend that parents use the online application option, which is open at http://www.mckinneyisd.schoollunchapp.com/. The online application is also usually quicker to process.
