All students gather in the gym in the morning. Students are not permitted to remain on the playground or outside of the building. Parents should drop off students at the GYM DOOR on SOUTH STREET or the SIXTH STREET student entrance. Both entrances remain open until 8:30am with a staff member at the door. After 8:30, students should report to the main office.How Does Dismissal Work?
Dismissal is a BUSY time! It is critical that your child (and thier teacher) knows how they go home (ie. walk, daycare bus, latchkey etc) each family is assigned a dismissal location on either SOUTH or SIXTH street. Dismissal tags will be given out at Meet the Teacher on August 21. Parents should follow the traffic maps provided to ensure the most efficient dismissal for ALL.

We are proud to share with you that McKinley has been awarded Gold Medal Status for our Positive Behavior Support System by the Ohio Department of Education State Support Team Region 4!! This means that our school has met a rigorous criteria provided through an evaluation called a Tiered Fidelity Inventory. A Tiered Fidelity Inventory (TFI) is used to provide a valid, reliable, and efficient measure of the extent to which school personnel are applying the core features of school-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports. The TFI is used to assess the extent to which core features of PBIS are in place. Areas assessed include: utilization of data based decisions to better serve students and staff, creative and engaging acknowledgement/reward systems, inclusiveness of PBIS throughout the school, collaboration with the community, orientation of new students and staff throughout the school year, Iitegrating PBIS into daily activities across all available teaching opportunities, and routine data- based evaluation of implementation. Due to this rare Gold designation, we have been invited to submit a proposal for a teacher team to present our successes at the statewide PBIS conference in December!! Thank you to our AMAZING STUDENTS, PARENTS and TEACHERS for making this possible!!
McKinley is one of only a few schools in the SST4 Region (which includes Lake and Geauga Counties) to recieve this honor! We are very proud!
