Principal's Message

Dear McKinley Elementary School Families,

Welcome to McKinley Elementary! I am thrilled to be your principal and look forward to partnering with you to ensure that our students have a productive, engaging, and enjoyable experience.

At McKinley Elementary, we take pride in creating a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and inspired to reach their full potential. We believe that education is a collaborative effort involving teachers, parents, and the community. Together, we can provide our students with the support and resources they need to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our mission is simple yet profound: We are all Mavericks, bringing out the best in each other through love and learning. Our dedicated staff is committed to delivering high-quality instruction that meets the diverse needs of our students. We strive to foster a love of learning through innovative teaching methods and a curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. Our goal is to equip our students with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.

We also value character development and social-emotional learning. We encourage our students to be respectful, responsible, and kind citizens who contribute positively to our school community and beyond. Through various programs and initiatives, we aim to build a supportive and inclusive culture where every student feels a sense of belonging.

Communication and partnership with families are vital to our success. I encourage you to stay involved in your child's education by attending family nights, signing up for ParentSquare (www.ysd7.org/parentsquare), and maintaining open lines of communication with your child's teacher. Additionally, please take a moment to fill out our Parent Feedback and Assistance Form here. Your input is invaluable in helping us improve and better serve our community.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. Together, we will make McKinley Elementary a fantastic place for learning and growth for all our students.

Warm regards,

Amanda Voorhees
Principal, McKinley Elementary School
