Cole Irish, Principal
Mr. Irish is excited for a new leadership opportunity as an Assistant Principal in the Wittenberg-Birnamwood School District starting next school year.
We thank him for his important role leading McDill forward these past two years and wish him and his family well!
McDill will not be the same without all of you!
Forever a Timberwolf!
Brenda Jones, 5th Grade
Mrs. Jones is retiring after 33 years with the district to spend more time with her family! Over the past 20 years at McDill, Brenda taught students at both 5th and 6th grade. She was known for having a great connection with her students (as well as for her love of penguins!) We wish her only the best in this new adventure!
Kristine Nieman, 4K Teacher
Mrs. Nieman will be transferring to Bannach Elementary as their new full-day 4K teacher. Kristine has done a wonderful job with our youngest students for the past four years and she will be missed here at McDill.
Sara Fischer, Kindergarten Teacher
Mrs. Fischer will be teaching Kindergarten at Plover-Whiting starting in the fall, after 17 years at McDill. She has done an amazing job with her students, was an instructional leader for many of those years and been an integral part of our team. We wish her only the best at her new school!
Kasey Monteith, Special Education Teacher
Mrs. Monteith, who was with us at McDill for 3 years, will be taking time to be home with her family, being a new mom of a beautiful baby boy. We are very happy for her and thank her for her amazing work with all her students.
Nancy Leggett, ELL EA
"Ms. Nancy" is relocating out of our district to be closer to her family. Nancy had a dual role with the district as McDill's ELL Educational Assistant and as the District Spanish Parent Partner. She played an essential role in the district and she will be greatly missed!
Dana Witte, Office & Health Room EA
Mrs. Witte has accepted a new position at McDill for next year. She will join us again in the fall, but as an Educational Assistant (EA) in the all-day 4K Program. We thank her for all her hard work in the office during the past two years!

BELOW IS THE LUNCH SCHEDULE FOR THIS FRIDAY, MAY 29TH.
Parents/guests SHOULD enter school through the front doors in order to meet up with their child in the gym before grabbing a lunch and/or going outside.
All students will enter the gym through the lobby even if they have their own lunch.
Please look for the marked GRADE-LEVEL area in the gym as you wait for your child. This will greatly help connect families as students come into the gym.
- At 12:30 pm, the kickball game between the 6th graders and staff will start.
- At 1:15 pm, the students will head back into the school for a break in their classrooms.
- At 1:45 pm, the students will proceed through a Moving-Up Schedule, during which time they rotate through the teachers in the next grade level up. This gives them a chance to meet the teachers and participate in a fun activity in the next grade level rooms.
- If students need to be taken from school early, parents/guardians will be required to sign them out from the office. Please know that this early dismissal will be recorded on the child’s attendance as an R - Removed Early. It will then appear on their report card as a TARDY.
- As always, students WILL NOT be able to leave school with any adult who is not given prior permission (a note, call or email) to sign that child out of school that day.
NOTE: Parking WILL BE ALLOWED on School Street for this event, but NOT on Elm Street. The other streets across from the front of school will be open, as well, for parking during this event. Please be curteous of the homeowners property and do not block driveways.
LASTLY, you are strongly encouraged to apply sunscreen to your child in the morning and have them drink lots of fluids.
