Week 12 - Family | Smore Newsletters

Hello, Mustang Families!!! Thank you to all of those who were able to join us at Parent-Teacher Conferences! We appreciate your partnership in helping our students become their best! We have our first 5-day week in a while! We will end on Friday with Snack Barn AND a visit from our friends at Boger Farms with our PTO sponsored farm animal experience. It will be an exciting day!

Please see this information from our district: Our Focus on the Future 2026 plan is our vision for creating inspiring new learning spaces for our students that are designed to support growth and success for years to come! We hope you will take a few moments to look at the website and check out the information posted there. We have also created a new video that outlines the six things you need to know about the plan. You can view the video here on Facebook or here https://www.facebook.com/reel/25058045403828587 or on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/TiIOIyY4q8o

Our PE Department has partnered with Ozark Mountain Lacrosse (OZMO) again to do a free lacrosse clinic here at McNair. It will be Monday, Nov. 17th from 3- 4:15pm in the McNair Gym. Coach Easley put together a Sign-up Genius form for parents to sign up their child:

Cell Tower Open Forum

As many of you are aware, a cell tower is currently being installed between the McNair and Vandergriff buildings on the northeast side of the McNair playground. This project stems from a Master Agreement between the school district and Smith Communications that was established in 2014 and the subsequent approval of this project in the summer of 2023. With the actual installation in progress, some have expressed concern about a cell tower being located on school property. Smith Communications has graciously agreed to hold a parent forum on Wednesday, Nov. 5th at 6:00 pm. The forum will take place in the cafeteria at McNair Middle School. Representatives from Smith Communications, the district administration, and a third party Radio Frequency (RF) Specialist will all be present to answer questions regarding the project. If this is of interest to you, please make plans to attend.

The family engagement team is working on a Veterans Day slideshow to present during the Veterans Day Assembly on November 14th. This is optional for faculty and student families to participate. If you choose to participate you can fill out this FORM to give us information about the veteran. Please submit by November 1st.
