Let's Celebrate Our Wonderful MUES Teachers & Staff!

Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week will be celebrated during the week of May 6th-May 10th! The PTA has planned a fun week where all staff will be showered with tokens of appreciation as a heartfelt thanks for the great work they all do to support our Mustangs. There will be opportunities throughout the week for parents/guardians to donate either food or drinks as well as volunteer their time. 

If you are able to help out, please take a moment to sign-up by clicking on the following link: Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week Donation Sign-Up

Here are a few things to consider: 

  • McNair ES has around 125 staff members
  • McNair Upper ES has around 90 staff members
  • If you are donating baked goods on May 7th or May 10th, we ask that you include an ingredients list. 

Thank you for your ongoing support!

Class Placement Input for the 24-25 School Year

As administration begins collaborating with classroom teachers to form grade level classes for the 24-25 school year, we understand that parent/guardian input is valuable to consider too.

We kindly ask that you do not request specific teachers; rather keep the focus on the type of learning environment and learning style that will support your child's academic and social wellness success.

Interested parents/guardians that would like the opportunity to share their input with administration should do so no later than Friday, May 17th.

Please click on and fill out the appropriate grade level Parent/Guardian Input Form below: 

Rising 3rd Grade Parent/Guardian Input Form

Rising 4th Grade Parent/Guardian Input Form

Rising 5th Grade Parent/Guardian Input Form

Rising 6th Grade Parent/Guardian Input Form

 

Thank you for your continued partnership in making your child’s experience at McNair Upper ES a positive one!  

Your Proud Administrative Team,

Mrs. Goddin & Mr. Credle

Friendly Reminder: Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener Results Coming Soon

Students in grades 3-12  took the SEL Screener during the month of March, providing updated information on their SEL skills like achieving goals, understanding and managing emotions, establishing and maintaining relationships, and making responsible decisions. The screener also asks students how well their school community makes them feel valued, included, and supported.

In late April, individual student SEL Screener results will be available to families in the Documents section of SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, results will be sent via postal mail.

For more information about the screener please visit the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener webpage. For support in understanding your individual student’s results or for ideas on how to support them at home, please review the Family Guide or contact your student’s school.


Friendly Reminder: Recycle your eclipse glasses! McNair is collecting gently used Eclipse glasses.

glasses

McNair Elementary and McNair Upper are collecting gently used eclipse safety glasses. All glasses will be donated to Eclipse Glasses USA, a retailer of eclipse glasses that is sending gently used eclipse glasses to schools in Chile and Argentina, so that more students there can safely view the October 2024 Annular Eclipse! 

Students may drop off eclipse glasses in the front office of McNair Elementary or McNair Upper through the end of April.
