We know we have many new families at McDermott so we would like to share our dismissal guide again! Thank you for following our designated routines and procedures. Please note that no one should pull in on the left side except buses or daycare vans. Also, no cars should part on Northgate drive. Parents who pick up at the bottom of the steps should park on Northpoint Circle (please don't block neighbors' driveways) and walk to pick up.

Good morning, 4th Grade McDermott Parents: We want to reassure you that the safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority. Yesterday, we were made aware of a threat by a student to harm himself and others from his classmates. The student will face disciplinary action according to the Student Code of Conduct and the law. As always, we encourage students, staff, and families to report any safety concerns so we can address them promptly and proactively. If you have any questions or need further reassurance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your trust and partnership in keeping our school community safe. Sincerely, Pam Dial

Stay safe and warm!!
Due to some remaining icy conditions on secondary bus routes - NO School Fri., Feb. 21st; but Cent. Off. Staff should report on a 2-hour delay. Mon., Feb. 24, classes will NOW be IN SESSION instead of PD to support student learning in light of back-to-back closures. Thank you!
📚 Mustangs, Keep Reading 📚
Don't let the weather keep our Mustangs from learning and growing! Did you know that all our students have access to MyOn, a digital library full of great books? They can read from any device with internet access by signing into their ClassLink account. Encourage your child to explore new stories and keep their reading skills strong!
Happy reading! 📖❄️
