The McKinley School staff believe that,
with the help of the home and community, we can provide students
with the opportunity to:
- Attend school in a safe and
caring environment
- Learn pertinent skills with
carry-over for later use in life
- Experience success-oriented
programming
- Have a continuous and
coordinated curriculum
- Develop a self-awareness and
positive self-image
- Develop positive peer group
relationships and experiences
- Initiate self-motivation
To enable students to achieve these goals,
they should be provided with:
- A variety of programs in our
schools to develop knowledge of opportunities available in
society.
- Opportunity for a sound, basic
education necessary for an individual to function in society.
- Adequate facilities for
instruction, keeping in mind class size, availability of
materials, relevancy of textbooks and classroom setting.
- Instruction that is student
centered, recognizing individual needs, differences, and
abilities.
- Opportunity to develop
citizenship skills as a part of a student's education.
- Opportunity to practice
acceptable social skills.
BOYS TOWN EDUCATIONAL
MODEL
McKinley Elementary School uses
the Boys Town Educational Model to assist our students with
learning social skills and helping them learn how to be
productive members of the community. Boys Town Educational Model
is a specific program that teaches school staff how to
communicate more effectively with students and how to
consistently handle discipline situations. The entire Watertown
School District uses the Boys Town Educational Model and school
administrator's are trained in the Administrative Intervention
process.
CONFERENCES
Parent-teacher
conferences are held at the end of 1st and 3rd quarters. At that
time the report card is discussed with the parent. The school
believes the conference is beneficial because it provides the
parents and teachers an opportunity to share information that
will be of assistance in working with the child. Parents or
teachers may request additional conferences if necessary.
GRADE SCHOOL BULLETIN
A monthly
newsletter, "McKinley School News" is sent home at the beginning
of each month. This newsletter includes a calendar, recent
school news, upcoming events, and other school-related
information.
REPORT CARDS
Report cards
are shared with parents at the first quarter conference and are
sent home with children in grades 1-6 at the end of quarters
two, three, and four. Mid-term reports for students in grades
4-6 are sent home for each nine-week grading period.
