McCormick Elementary School

Good Morning, Remember today is registration day! All students need to be registered before they are scheduled and begin school. If you did not pre-register your child on Final Forms, you must come today to complete registration. You do not have to attend today if you pre-registered. We will not be giving out class schedules today. Class schedules will be given out on Thursday, July 25 from 3:00-6:00 during our Open House.

Registration is open for the 2024-2025 school year. All students, new and returning students, must register. If you have not registered online yet, you will need to attend this registration day tomorrow. We look forward to seeing you!

We hope you all are enjoying your first week of summer break! We miss you already. Be sure you register for the upcoming school year now online! Our offices are open from 7:30 am-4:00 pm Monday-Thursday. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Good afternoon, We hope you enjoyed your day off today. Thank you to all parents for supporting our field day and the "School House Rock" Program. Our awards celebrations will be taking place this week. If your child is receiving an award, he/she should have brought home a letter on Wednesday or Thursday notifying you of the award. We will not be allowing early dismissals after 1:00 each day unless you complete the early dismissal form. Don't forget we have a clear bag policy for all of our events! We look forward to celebrating next week!

Field Day Important Reminders: We need individual bags of chips, Debbie Cakes, and water. Currently, we do not have enough. If you attend, you must stay with your child's teacher outside. No early dismissals are allowed tomorrow unless you filled out the form and turned it in. If you did fill out the paper for early dismissal, you must come to the front office to sign your child out, then we will call your child. Field Day is a dress-down day, but they must still follow the school dress code such as no spaghetti tops, shorts being the appropriate length, and no leggings, or flip flops/slides. We also have a clear bag policy on campus at all times even outside. Let us know if you have any questions.

Congratulations to our recent winners from the Earthquake Resistant Towers Contest. Thank you to Mrs. Rucker and the team for organizing this event and grant. Students were engaged and excited about learning.

Good Afternoon, We have had a wonderful week! Students are ready for their big "show time" next week! Grades 3-5 will be taking MAP testing on Tuesday and Wednesday. They need to get a good night's sleep and be on time for school. We are ready to show SC that MES is the Best! Next week is also teacher appreciation week. See the flyer for some ideas on how to share your appreciation of your child's teacher. We would love for you to also give them a shout-out. You can do this straight from your phone by using the "Parent Locker Room" which is located on your MCSD App. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Good afternoon, We are excited about our end-of-the-year events coming up soon. This is the schedule of the Academic Celebrations along with the qualifications of each award. A copy of this schedule will also come home with your child so you will have the dates and times on your calendar. We will send actual invitations to the parents of the students who will receive awards by the end of next week along with more details. Our events will adhere to the clear bag policy over the next few weeks. If you have any questions or concerns, call the school.

Have a magnificent weekend!

We are about to roll out our new online registration. We are having a pre-registration launch starting on March 25th until April 14th. So don't forget to register in advance.

Literacy Night was a wonderful event! Preston Thorne and Langston Moore were our guest speakers. They are former football players who are exceptional authors and motivational speakers. The message to parents tonight went right along with the Profile of the SC Graduate and the MES mission which is to empower students to reach their greatest potential. They talked about how teaching children to communicate is important. Have them order their own food, or speak up for themselves. They also encouraged parents to get rid of the word "good." Ask your child deeper questions when they get home and don't accept the word "good." Hold them accountable in expanding their adjectives and vocabulary. Also, they gave parents an assignment. Ask your child their favorite YouTuber and go home and look up that person. Know what they are looking at. We live in a digital age and we must keep up with them. One quote that stood out, was "Skills pay the Bills." We have to teach them these skills at home and school. Reading is important every day. He gave parents some strategies on how to read with their children. Thank you everyone for coming out tonight!

Have a great weekend. Be sure to come to our PTO and LIteracy NIght next week.

We are looking forward to this event! Mark your calendars!
