ATTENDANCE PROCEDURE
If your child is ill, going out of town, or will be late to school, please call the school office at 476-3035 by 8:45 a.m.
Principal’s Message: We would like to welcome everyone back to what is certain to be a great year at McGary Middle School. We have a great group of teachers ready to take your child to places they have yet to discover. You will not find a more caring and dedicated staff and we welcome you to visit us and see all of the exciting things going on at McGary. It is important that your child is on time and at school every day. We do not want them to miss out on all of the ex-citing opportunities that we have to offer especially for them every day. We regularly post important information on our Facebook page as well as through our “One Call” sys-tem. Please make sure you have your most current phone number registered in the office so we can send you informa-tion that affects you and your child. I encourage you to join our PTSA as they do great work for our students and teachers. The PTSA help support student activities and programs that we otherwise cannot afford to provide. We also need volunteers throughout the school year with different programs and activities. Communication is key in your child having a success-ful school year. Please contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions or concerns. You may also contact me if you have any other issues about your child’s success that you would like to address as it is a team effort between the parents and the school. With warm regards, Dale Naylor Kera Schwartz
