The mission of McKinley Elementary school,

in partnership with the community, is to create an

academic, physical, emotional, social, and safe environment

where everyone can learn and respect one another.

We believe that everyone can learn to become better thinkers and independent learners.

We believe learning is maximized when it takes place in an environment enriched with support, encouragement and assistance.

We provide a rigorous, academic program with high expectations for success through which effective educators lead students to take responsibility for learning.

We celebrate the pursuit of lifelong learning and are committed to nurturing high self-esteem and respect for others.
