Super Start

McKinley starts our day with 10 to 15 minutes of “Super Start,” where our students participate in a school-wide assembly. Students and staff participate in songs, cheers, and motivational activities during this morning program, where we develop our strong McKinley climate and culture. This program is run by both teachers and student leaders. One example is our weekly student news team, “This Week at McKinley.” This team provides videos of student and staff interviews that reinforce our expectations and show what is happening in our classes. These videos are shown on our large screen in the gym. We also use this time to celebrate students and building successes. We encourage families and community members to attend.
