Good evening, Mustang Country,
We wanted to remind all of you about the LRSD Town Hall meeting that will be held in the Mcdermott cafeteria this evening with our board member, Greg Adams. We hope to see you there! The meeting will start at 6:00 PM and be finished by 7:15 PM.

Happy Custodian Appreciation Day to the best in LRSD! "Who are we? We're the mighty mighty Mustangs! Who are we? We are the BEST!"


Mustang Families! Don't forget we have our 3rd Annual Hispanic Heritage Community Cafe Thursday night from 6:00-7:30. There will be lots of entertainment and fun for the whole family. We can't wait to see you there!


Hello, Parents,
We will not have classes on Monday but teachers have scheduled student-led conferences from Noon-6 PM. PLEASE bring your child with you! If you haven't reserved a time, check the app or your child's backpack for info or email pam.dial@lrsd.org

1st grade Students learned the difference between fiction and non-fiction during library today with the help of a snake puppet and a ball python! They even got to leave the library with their own ficttttional snake around their necks. #reimaginingLRSD #handsonlearning









School is out Monday, September 30th, for Parent/Teacher Conferences. We hope all of our students will have someone that can stop by to check in on their progress.


Greetings! For all families who recently filled out the Food Pantry eligibility form , I will be picking up the orders shortly and they will be ready at McDermott this afternoon. We'll also reach out to each person individually and arrange pickup or drop-off of your groceries. Enjoy, and hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! Mr. Sky

The “longest roll call” raises awareness for the 15 million U.S. students chronically absent (missing 10% or more of the school year). We're working to connect students to resources needed to show up to school ready to learn.

Hello,
As you probably know, our students spin the wheel to be in a House at McDermott. We are still working to get new students their House t-shirts. Tomorrow is our first House meeting and we want all students to wear their House color or their House T-shirt! We will see which House has the most participation!

🌟 Shoutout to Stephens Elementary EAST students Keltin & Carnell! After a drone training class, simulator time, and taking the TRUST exam for the FAA, they took McDermott Elementary School's Peace Day photo! 📸 They planned the layout & took the perfect photo.

Good afternoon, Parents:
In the spirit of transparency, we wanted to inform you of an incident in a classroom today. A student brought a small kitchen knife to school, which was reported by a classmate who saw it on the ground after it fell from the student’s pants. The teacher promptly alerted administration who confiscated the knife after being alerted by the classmate. While no immediate threat was indicated, we are grateful for the classmate who reported the incident. The student in question will be sanctioned according to the Student Code of Conduct. Parents, please remind your student of the potential danger, and consequences of bringing such items to school. It takes all of us working together to ensure safe campuses and I appreciate the support you provide to McDermott daily. If you have questions, please feel free to contact my office.
Sincerely,
Pam Dial

Come out and support your McDermott Spirit Squad and Cheerleaders!!
