Dear McKelvie Families~
What a beautiful fall day to end an incredibly hot week! Our students have done a wonderful job of getting back into the swing of a new school year. They all looked terrific on picture day!
Just a reminder, there is no school next week on Tuesday, September 11th as it is election day.
There are several important updates related to McKelvie in the notes below.
Grade 6 Open House is Thursday, September 13th at 6:00.
Open House is for parents only. Traffic was horrendous for this week’s Grade 5 Open House due to detours and construction. I anticipate it will be challenging next week as well, so please plan for a little extra driving /parking time.
Clubs and Intramurals:
McKelvie Club and Intramural descriptions were posted to the McKelvie website on Wednesday, September 5th and online registration begins tonight, Friday, September 7th, at 5pm. Registration will remain open until the maximum number of students has been reached or September 14th, whichever comes first. When online registrations begin it is really important that parents do not submit more than one submission for each club/intramural as the online forms are set up to shut off when the maximum number of students has been reached.
Click HERE for Intramural registrations.
Click HERE for Club registrations. You must click on the specific club you are interested in.
Important Info: Each club and intramural facilitator sets his/her own schedule and number of students, so please review the session info carefully. Note that Intramurals are posted each quarter, so only Q1 offerings will be published next week.
If you have questions about a club, please reach out to the club facilitator directly. If you have questions about Intramurals, please reach out to either Intramural Coordinator Ms. Amy Francis (francisa@sau25.net) or Miss Jaclyn Parolin (parolinj@sau25.net).
Library News:
Right before the first day of school 10 "Golden Tickets" were placed inside the pages of various books in the McKelvie Library. Click HERE to see one of the signs promoting the McKelvie "Golden Tickets." This is done as a fun way to get the students to browse our book selection and encourage checkout. There have been four students who have checked out or browsed for books containing these "Golden Tickets" during our first 8 days of school. The following students have been awarded a $5.00 gift certificate to Barnes & Noble! Congratulations to Eric and Anabelle who both found "Golden Tickets" on Sept. 4th! Congratulations also to Leeanna and Lilly who both found tickets on Sept. 5th. Keep reading and looking for the "Golden Tickets" when you visit the McKelvie Library. There are 6 more tickets remaining!
Have a great weekend! ~Mrs. Cote
