Classroom Curiosity Alert!
We’re excited to kick off our first Classroom Curiosity this school year!
Our 7th graders embarked on a field trip for a Salmon Watch.
Under the guidance of Mr. Day, the students visited Carmen Smith to observe the fascinating spawning season for salmon. It was a great opportunity to connect with nature and learn about this important part of our ecosystem!
Hello McKenzie Families and Community Members,
Wow! This fall, we have been overwhelmed by the great support and attendance at our athletic events.
Please remember that it is district policy that students and children in grade 8 and below who are in attendance are to be supervised by their parents/guardians at all times. District staff are not assigned to events for student supervision. They are helping make the events happen for our student-athletes and performers.
We also want to ensure our student-athletes and performers can stay focused without distractions from kids running on benches and climbing our fences.
Thank you for your understanding.
Keep showing up and showing your Eagle Pride!
Mr. Tompkins
