School-Home Communication

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Parent-teacher conferences are an excellent way to create or build upon a strong home-school partnership that is critical to student success. To help you prepare for a productive meeting with your child's teacher, please view Making Parent Teacher Conferences Work for Your Child, an article available on the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA) website.

Attend parent-teacher conferences to learn about your child's progress in school. Learn more.

Parent/Guardian Contact Information

In case of illness, accident or other emergency, the school will attempt to contact a child's parent or guardian. Please make sure the school has current contact information, including home, work, cell phone and pager numbers. In addition, be sure to keep the office informed of any changes in emergency contacts or child care arrangements.

School Information & Flyers

Whenever possible, school and community information is sent home with students on Wednesdays. Please check for this information every Wednesday. Most information will also be made available online within this site and please check the McKinley PTC website for information also.
