Dear McKelvie Families~

Tomorrow is the big day for our L-Z Hybrid kids and our Fully Remote kids! School drop off starts at 8:35 and kids should be in their homerooms by 8:50. Our L-Z Hybrid kids will be bringing home Chromebooks tomorrow, to use at school and on distance learning days. All 5th grade students will be getting new passwords from their teachers on their first day of school. They will not be able to log in with their elementary school passwords.

Our A-K Hybrid kids' first day of school will be on Friday! A-K Hybrid kids will get their Chromebooks on Friday to use at school and on distance learning days.  A-K Hybrid kids do not have school or distance learning tomorrow. 

If you or your kids have not seen the orientation video yet, here it is!

Before Coming to School:
Per CDC guidelines, students and staff are expected to stay home if they feel ill, display symptoms of COVID-19, or have been in direct contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.

Parents will be required to complete a daily health screening for their child prior to traveling to school.

 

AM Arrival Procedures:
Students whose last name begins with the letter A-F or L-R will be dropped off at the main entrance on Liberty Hill Rd.  Students whose last names begin with G-K or S-Z will be dropped off at the canopy entrance on County Rd.  Students cannot be dropped off at the playground as we no longer have morning recess.  Students who take the bus will be dropped off on the playground.  Grade 5 students will walk in through the library doors and grade 6 students will walk in through the blue sixth grade doors. Students need to be in their homeroom classes by 8:50 or they will be marked tardy.  We give some leeway to this on the first week of school.

PM Dismissal Procedures:
Afternoon announcements begin at 3:15 followed by dismissing parent pick-up students.  All students whose last name begins with the letters A-F and L-R are picked up at the main entrance on Liberty Hill Road in front of the school. A-F and L-R students exit the cafeteria doors near the flagpole and parents need to pull all the way up to pick up their kids.  This keeps the line moving and helps to prevent the blocking of intersections.  All students whose last name begins with G-K and S-Z are picked up at the canopy entrance on County Rd.  Parents need to pull all the way up to prevent blocking intersections and to keep the lines moving.

Students who are parent pick-up, walkers, or bike riders need a note stating how they are getting home.  All students go home on the bus that do not have a note indicating they are going home a different way.  If your child is always a parent pick-up, send in a note indicating the specific days and we will put their names on the permanent parent pick up list.  If your child is a permanent walker/bike rider, send that note in as well.

At approximately 3:17 we begin dismissing busses.  After ALL busses are dismissed and have left the parking lot, we dismiss walkers and bike riders at approximately 3:25.  Walkers and bike riders are dismissed last as there are far fewer cars and busses on the road. I anticipate students will get home a little late the first days of school.

School Lunch Program:
As a reminder, if you plan on purchasing hot lunch for your child, lunches need to be pre-ordered. Please click this link for information on pre-ordering your child's hot lunch.

Bus Routes:
Bus routes are online and can be found HERE. Scroll down to MCK Afternoon and MCK Morning Bus Routes for stop locations and pick-up times.

Have a terrific evening, and I can't wait to meet your kids in the next couple of days!
