Dear McKelvie Families~
We have two more full weeks before February vacation and McKelvie is bustling! Tryouts for the Talent Show were last week, and tryouts for McKelvie's production of Frozen are this week. Please click HERE for additional information about Drama Club as well as to sign up for auditions.
Drop Off and Pick Up Lines:
Morning drop off and afternoon pick up are a busy time in our parking lots and loading areas. Please help us ensure this time is safe for our students who are entering and exiting vehicles. This can be done by slowing down, pulling all the way up behind the car in front of you, using caution when pulling out of the line, and not pulling in front of vehicles who are already in the line for pick up/drop off. In addition, please do not park in the crosswalk. Just as a reminder the Before School Program drop off begins at 7:30. Thank you for using these precautions to help us keep students safe.
McKelvie Substitute Fair:
We will be having a Substitute Fair on Thursday, February 21st from 2-3:30pm, for anyone interested in subbing. We will have computers available to help fill out applications, will answer any questions people may have, and will be conducting instant interviews. If you or anyone you know is looking to try something new, come to the fair! Parents, retirees, or college kids who have a day off in their schedule can make extra money while having fun at school! For those interested but unsure of what subbing entails, we would like to offer shadow days where you can shadow a teacher to get an idea of what subbing is like. Come to the Sub Fair on the 21st from 2-3:30 for more information!

Box Top Hot Chocolate Party Contest Update:
The Box Tops for Education has their next semi-annual submission deadline of March 1st. We have vacation the last week of February so make sure you submit all of your box tops to your homeroom teacher by the 20th of February. Your homeroom may just win a hot chocolate celebration. Check your pantries and kitchen cabinets for any box tops. They do expire and the school gets no credit for those expired box tops. Remember to cut or rip carefully. The four digit code and expiration date must be legible on each box top.
Take Care!
