Dear McKelvie Families ~
I want to let you know that our school has recently entered a partnership with St. Anselm’s College. McKelvie is hosting approximately 26 students from their Teacher Preparation Program. Your child may come home sharing that there are “college kids” helping out in the classroom. These students are under the direct supervision of classroom teachers and are here to both learn and help. I am excited about this partnership and hope that it yields positive results for us and them! Below are this week’s notes:
Q2 Report Cards
Quarter 2 Report Cards are now available as a pdf through the Parent Portal. If you are unable to access yours or require a paper copy, please contact your child’s teacher.
Tardy & Dismissal Letters
If your child has been tardy or dismissed in excess of 6 times during the quarter, the school generates a letter that is sent home. This is simply a communication on our part to inform you as to the number of times these occurrences take place.

During the assembly, students will watch an Animoto book trailer, find out some of the topics of discussion, and find out their reading group. For the two weeks following the assembly, during the final part of the day, students at McKelvie will be in small groups listening to Small as an Elephant by Jennifer Richard Jacobson.
