We are THANKFUL for each our Safety Patrols that show up every day to help keep our Mustang community safe and showing kindness around our school! Please join us in congratulating the following Mustangs on a job well done:
- Vaishnavi (KR)

- Akshana & Armaan (Flags)
- Meera (Bus 3) & Atharv (Bus 4)
The fall SEL Screener results will soon be shared with families. If your child participated in this screener and you have questions about how to interpret the data, please refer to the Family Guide.
As a reminder, winter break for students and teachers will be held December 19, 2022, to January 2, 2023. Twelve-month employees will continue to work during winter break, except for December 23 and 26, and January 2, when all offices will be closed.
To help make sure school-based staff and students have a restful break, we have asked that no homework be assigned during this time. Teachers may assign long-range assignments in the weeks ahead of the break, allowing students to practice time management skills, but no assignments should be due immediately following the break.
McNair Upper ES will be closed from Monday, December 19th through Monday, January 2nd. We look forward to welcoming our Mustangs back on Tuesday, January 3, 2023.
 Deadline Extended! Orders Now Accepted Through Monday, December 12th!
As part of the Westfield HS Pyramid, McNair Upper ES is committed to promoting kindness, empathy, and inclusion. We will celebrate Kindness Week in February and we invite all students and staff to wear their “We Choose Kindness” shirts signifying a personal commitment to choosing kindness. We are offering short-sleeve shirts and hooded sweatshirts in black with white and pink ink. Why pink? The color is based on an anti-bullying campaign started by Travis Price and David Shepherd, who took a stand for a fellow student who was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school.
Order forms are due by Monday, December 12th and items will be delivered to your child’s classroom by the end of January. If you would like to make a purchase, please complete and return the pink order form which was sent home with your child earlier this week. Return it to the attention of Debbie Bradner, school counselor, along with payment in the form of cash (exact change only, please) or a check made out to “McNair Upper ES.” If you require an additional order form, please email Mrs. Bradner at dgbradner1@fcps.edu
If you're looking for a holiday gift for your Mustang, we have student t-shirts on sale for $10 and Mustang magnets on sale for $1. If you are interested in purchasing one, feel free stop by the main office. The main office is open daily from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
If you have any gently used coats, gloves, mittens, scarves, and/or hats that your child has outgrown, please consider donating them to McNair Upper ES.
With the temperatures getting cooler, we want to ensure that all of our Mustangs have a warm coat to wear as they walk to and from school each day as well as play outside at recess.
If you have any of these items to donate, please feel free to drop them off at the main office for our counselors to pick up and distribute to students in need.
*We will ensure they are washed before handed out.*
