Principal's Corner
McKean School Community,
As the winter chill settles in, we are reminded of the resilience and perseverance that colder months often require. Just as the seasons test our resolve, they also provide opportunities for growth, teamwork, and reflection. Whether navigating icy sidewalks or braving early mornings for practice, each challenge presents a chance to build character and determination.
In this spirit, I want to highlight the incredible efforts of our students and staff during this season. From academic work to extracurricular activities, they exemplify perseverance daily. Whether they are preparing for class, tackling projects, or going for the win on the court, their dedication inspires us all.
Cold Weather Precautions
As temperatures drop, please remind your students to dress warmly and be mindful of their health. Hats, gloves, scarves, and layers go a long way in ensuring comfort and safety during outdoor activities. Our school remains committed to fostering a safe and warm environment for all.
Celebrating Our Sports Teams
Winter sports are in full swing, and our Highlanders have demonstrated remarkable teamwork and perseverance on and off the field. From thrilling basketball games to intense wrestling matches and beyond, our teams demonstrate the values of hard work, dedication, and community spirit. Let’s continue to show our support by attending games and cheering them on — they thrive on our encouragement! Let’s go McKean!

Highlander Family,
It’s hard to believe that the end of this month also brings us to the close of the second marking period– time truly flies!
I’d like to remind everyone that hats, hoods, and ski masks are not permitted inside the building. Parents, please take a moment this weekend to speak with your students about following this policy while at school. We will continue to enforce this rule daily and begin giving students consequences if they do not comply.
I hope everyone is feeling healthy, happy, and motivated as we continue the school year on a strong note. Our climate and culture team is here to support every student daily. Should you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact Mr. Quig at the school or via email.
Warm regards,
Mr. Quig
Assistant Principal
