🎵 Music Notes From Mr. Conway 🎵 |
From April 20th-23rd, we will be having our Kindergarten and 1st Grade music “informances” This is an opportunity to spend music class with your child to watch them sing, play instruments, and have some fun! Please see the schedule below to identify your student's informance time. We ask that you arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before the scheduled start time. All informances are located in the music room. When you arrive, we ask that you wait in the lobby to be escorted to the music room. You will also be escorted back to the main doors to exit the school after the informances are done. Second, Third, and Fourth grade music demonstrations will be held in May. More information will be sent out closer to the date. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please reach out,
Mr. Conway

Carpenter Nature Center Field Trip |
|
|
McAuliffe 4th grade students spent time at Carpenter Nature Center learning Winter Survival Skills. Students used the Stop-Think-Observe-Plan to find supplies to build a shelter to protect them from sun, rain, and snow. Once students had built a shelter, they learned how to build a fire to survive cold temperatures. Big thanks to a community donor & the McAuliffe PTC for funding this amazing experience! |

2026-27 Kindergarten Enrollment |
Kindergarten enrollment is open. Please enroll your incoming kindergartener as soon as possible.

If your student has not completed Early Childhood Screening, call 651-480-7381 or click HERE to get this scheduled. |
It is important for students to get outside for some physical activity every day. They are provided with a 20-minute daily recess. We expect everyone to come to school dressed for the weather. Our school will have indoor recess on days when the weather is not suitable for outside play: the temperature with wind chill is below -11°. Other notes:
• Schools may choose to have a 10-minute outside recess for temperatures around -11°. Outside supervisors will make this decision in cooperation with the office.
• Students with health plans on file in the health office may have special considerations that will be followed.
• Boots are recommended when there is not snow but the ground is wet.
During the winter months, your child needs to wear a coat, mittens/gloves, snow pants and boots since the children will go outside for recess unless the wind chill temperature is below -11°. Once it snows, children who do not have boots or snow pants will need to stay on the blacktop area. Please contact our School Social Worker, Mackenzie Lucas-Kennedy (mlucas-kennedy@isd200.org, 651.480.7417) if you need any assistance with winter gear. |

Early Pick Up & Dismissal Changes |
In order to minimize interruptions to the classroom, students should not be picked up early unless it is an emergency. On those occasions when it is necessary to pick your child up during the school day, please go to the school office, with your ID, to sign your child out. If someone other than the parent/guardian is picking up, office must be notified in advance and their ID also is required. The office personnel will contact your child’s teacher to dismiss them and meet you in the office after you've arrived.
When there is a change to your child’s normal dismissal plan, please contact the main office at 651-480-7390 by 2:30 pm if possible. Teachers will not release students unless the office gives prior approval. This practice has been established to help protect your child.
Your child's safety is of prime importance to us. There are a few procedure guidelines that help us maintain a secured building and limit the number of distractions to our classrooms. Our building is designed to have a single entry point during the school day. Please keep the following in mind: |
- Always check in at the office whenever you are at school.
-
We have a secure entrance, please ring the doorbell and state your reason for visiting.
- When delivering things for your child (ex. snow gear), please drop them off on the cart outside of the office and complete the yellow slip. We will deliver articles or call your child down to the office.
|
Please bring your driver's license with you when you are checking out your student, volunteering, or visiting for lunch. |
