September Calendar

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our school and better support our students, we invite you to complete 2 short surveys about your experiences and perspectives regarding our school.
Your feedback is incredibly important to us. It helps us understand what we’re doing well and where we can grow to better serve our students and families. Thank you for making McDavid-Jones even better!

Students in Mrs. Sullivan's 3rd grade class completed a Leader In Me activity with toothpaste and choosing the correct words. They learned that our words are just like the toothpaste because once it leaves the tube, it cannot go back in. Proactive leaders choose an “I” message instead even when someone hurts their feelings.

We would like to celebrate with Mrs. Holland’s class for achieving the highest attendance during the last week of August for 4th grade!

Here are a few of our Perfect Attendance students from August. They demonstrated exceptional punctuality by attending school on time, every day, all day long throughout the first month of school. We extend our appreciation to parents for their support in ensuring their children's regular attendance. We appreciate your efforts and encourage you to continue this hard work.

Mrs. Qualls’ 2nd-grade class created self-portraits for their leadership binders. Students used mirrors to closely observe their facial features. They talked through what they noticed, one facial feature at a time. Their eye color, different-shaped lips, freckles, and different shades of color were some of those features. The students felt successful with their finished works and even photographed some of them. This self-portrait assignment should increase their need to slow down and be more observant with their work, and spark interest and confidence for the building of their binders this year.

Attention, all girls 3rd-5th grade who would like to try out for youth developmental league volleyball: Tryouts will be Wednesday 8/20 and Thursday 8/21 in the gym. They will be directly after school and we will be done by 5. This is a youth league team, not a school team. Any girls wanting to tryout will need a parent note stating they can stay after school on the above dates. Again this is a youth league and not a school team. Thanks so much!
