McKinley's Vision Statement

The McKinley School community envisions a strong and nurturing learning environment in which students demonstrate respect for themselves and others. Students meet or exceed established performance standards in all areas. The students have a variety of experiences that broaden their views of the world.

This vision is to be accomplished through:

staff, community, families and students serving as positive role models;
a code for student behavior;
use of community resources to enhance and expand the learning opportunities of students;
global education with the appreciation and respect for diversity;
flexible instructional strategies that meet individual student and grade level needs;
integration of fine arts through curricular and extracurricular activities;
support of character education;
appropriate resources for staff development, extracurricular activities, and facilities improvement;
a homework policy that builds upon classroom instruction;
regular communication and shared decision-making among families, the community, staff and the administration.
