2.14.21 Principal Notes

 Dear McKelvie Families~

What an amazing day our first full in Friday was!  Thank you so much to our parents and students for making Friday such a big success!  Students did a great job of adjusting to new cafe tables and seating assignments, and were awesome at keeping 3 ft apart from classmates.  Parents, we appreciate your support as well, and how patient everyone was during the AM drop off and PM pickup. 

I'd also like to thank the entire McKelvie staff for all of the work they have done to make full in Fridays work for our kids.  Everyone from teachers and support staff to cafeteria workers and custodians have worked tirelessly to adjust for Fridays.
