Dear McKelvie Families ~
It has been a good week at McKelvie, albeit a short one! We had a terrific day in costumes and really enjoyed the creativity shown by students and staff. As you know, the first quarter of the year ends today. Our plan is to have electronic report cards available next Friday, November 10th. Below are the notes for this week:
NO SCHOOL 11/10
A reminder that there is no school next Friday, November 10th in observance of Veteran’s Day.
Q1 Conferences
Please know that each family is invited to conference with your child’s teacher during these next few weeks. This is an excellent time to check in on academic progress and get a sense of how your child is learning. Please contact your child’s teacher to schedule a mutually convenient time.

Parents/Guardians will be asked to stay at the event with their child as McKelvie staff will be coming to view this movie with their family members and will not be available to supervise students.
Ticket sales will open up online Friday, Nov. 17th, through Fandango , Movietickets.com or the Cinemagic website. These sales will be on a first come, first serve basis.
