Please click here to read our March 10 Principal’s Update on our website, including our list of upcoming events and important dates for the remainder of the school year!
A correction: we missed one no-school day and one half-day in the list of important dates in our original update. Please see those corrections below (as well as in our full list of upcoming events and dates above)!
Just a reminder that, as part of our whole-school attendance initiative for March and April, any student who is present 95% of days or above between March 1 and April 18 will be invited to our spring attendance party with extra recess and a popsicle to celebrate!
To help keep all of our families in the loop, we’d like to share information about attendance from the district. In accordance with DPS goals, every single whole-school attendance initiative we have at McT will be set around the goal of 95% attendance. Data show that, the more students are present at school, the more likely they are to learn, grow, foster strong social relationships, and build important habits for their futures.
Please note that 95% is simply a goal – we do understand that important things can come up in life, and please be sure to follow guidelines around student illness to take care of your kids, your family, and our community.
Please reach out to Grace, Sonia, or Alex with any questions. Thank you!
Tomorrow (Saturday, March 15), three groups of McKinley-Thatcher students will perform at the Destination Imagination 5280 tournament at Rangeview High School. Come support these creative and independent learners as they show their solutions to this year’s challenges!
The fifth grade STARS (Super Toasty Asteroids Riding Stardust) will perform their solution to the Scientific Challenge at 10:20 AM. The second grade teams both solved the Early Learning Challenge; Stormers Rock will perform their solution at 2:20 PM and Food From The Sky will perform their solution at 2:40 PM.
