We are continuing our awesome MUES tradition with our 6th grade students. Every year 6th graders make a graduation cap in art for their 6th grade promotion to middle school. If you have any extra craft supplies at home you would like to donate: yarn, ribbon, beads, stickers, sticker letters, pompoms, acrylic paint, anything you could use to decorate a hat! Please consider donating to the art department! You can drop them off anytime to McNair Upper to Jessica Coe- Room 242.
Mustangs Make Their Marks! – Hallway Expectations
Our Mustangs make their marks every day when they follow our school-wide Hallway Expectations! McNair Upper’s Hallways expectations are important because they maximize learning time. Mustangs walk in silent, single-file lines and follow hallway traffic signs. These expectations minimize transition time to and from lunch, recess, and specials. They also help minimize distractions for our Mustangs who are learning in their classrooms or learning pod as others pass by. Throughout this month, consider having a discussion with your Mustang about the importance of following the Hallway Expectations. Please emphasize the importance of walking and silence while they are in the halls. This is a great way for Mustangs to earn Mustang Marks and show how remarkable they are!
