Attention families of rising Kindergarteners, we have a fun event planned for you!

Good evening Patriot Families, This is your Principal, Lyndsey Dunn, with a few updates. Tomorrow, Friday is Purple UP day! This is the day where we honor and show support for our military families. Let’s honor the families we have in our community by wearing purple! Also, tomorrow is our K-2 Spring Carnival from 6:00-8:00 p.m. If you pre-registered, your tickets and wristbands will be sent home tomorrow with your students. If you didn’t, that’s ok, you can purchase them at the door. Just remember, this is a cash only event! Have a good evening and as always, thank you for your support!

We are so proud of our Patriot orchestra! Our students performed wonderfully tonight!

Good evening Patriot Families, This is your Principal, Lyndsey Dunn, with a few updates for the week. First off, thank you so much for all of the love and support shown with our Line Dancer for Cancer Event on Saturday. The outpouring of love shown was beautiful to witness and reminded us all what a giving community we all have. Moving forward, our PTA wanted to remind everyone about our K-2 Spring Carnival occurring on Friday, April 19th from 6:00 -8:00 p.m. A flier was sent home with the information on it. Everyone will need to enter through the front school entrance. Pre-registration is $5 per student, which includes 5 tickets. If you choose to pay at the door, it is $8 per student and still includes 5 tickets. This is a cash only event. Pre-registration closes in 3 days on April 17th. If you choose to pre-register, the wristbands and tickets will be sent home on Friday. All students must be accompanied by an adult for the entire event. We hope you join us for this fun which includes : inflatables, carnival games, concessions, face painting and more! Also, for our 3rd - 5th grade students, they will be taking the Reading MVP on Tuesday, April 16th as a MOCK EOG and the Math MVP on Wednesday, April 17th as a MOCK EOG so please try to have your students at school on time. We hope this helps them not be as nervous on the actual days and get any questions they may have answered before hand. Thank you for all that you do and remember we are McGee's Strong!

Good evening Patriot familes, This is your Principal, Lyndsey Dunn, with an important update. Tomorrow is our Benefit for Ms. Weeks from 10:00am - 1:00pm. The Cancer Survivor Walk will begin promptly at 10:00 am. Survivors will need to park in the bus parking lot and enter through the back doors. This is only for our Survivors. All other guests will need to park in the front parking lot and enter through the main entrance. If you would like to join us in celebrating our survivors, we ask that you enter through the front of the school. You will be directed to the track area. This is a celebratory lap to support our survivors. After they walk around the track, all others can join in for the caregiver lap. Everyone is welcome to walk this lap. Line dancing will begin approximately at 10:30. We appreciate all of your support. Let’s make this a memorable event as we continue to be McGees Strong.

Good afternoon families, Originally, our field day was scheduled for this Thursday, March 28th. Out of an abundance of caution and due to the weather forecast predicting a 80% chance of rain and a high of 60 degrees, we have decided to reschedule Field Day. We do not have specific dates, but will communicate those when we decide. They will more than likely be scheduled during the last couple of weeks after EOG testing has occurred. Thank you for your understanding.

We are in need of proctors for EOG testing at the end of May. We would so appreciate your willingness to help our school!
