It is time to celebrate all of the students who have met our school wide target of 92% attendance or higher. Increasing the number of regular attenders (92% or higher attendance) is a school wide goal for McKay. We had an amazing attendance celebration for our students who are attending 92% or more on Thursday, November 7th during CCR…that’s 1,278 students who are doing an amazing job being here at school.

Some of the talking points we shared were:

• Showing up to school is a skill. It will help you in class because you know what is going on. It will help you get a job and more importantly keep a job!
• If you graduate high school, you will make about $1 million more dollars in your lifetime than someone who does not…
• In order to keep a 92% rate, you can’t miss more than 18 days per year, or about 3 days per six week grading period. It doesn’t matter if it is excused or unexcused.
• Students who miss more than 20 days of school per year, have a 20 percent chance of graduating.
• However, students who regularly attend school have 172% chance of graduating high school.

Congratulations to all of our students who participated in College application week! We have had over 100 students who have completed their college applications, FAFSA, Oregon Promise, OSACC and more. As well as juniors who are completing their SAT registration and college searches. Great job class of 2020!

Sixteen of McKay’s awesome Link leaders traveled to David Douglas High School on Oct 25th to participate in the Regional Link Crew Conference. Link Leaders from around Oregon gathered to learn, play, and create ways to improve their schools. It seemed unanimous that McKay had the best Link T-shirts…of course designed by our amazing Link Leadership class.

It was a great day and a great opportunity for our Royal Scots to share, learn, and grow.  Go Link and Go Scots!

“Congrats to our TWO McKay scholarship winners, Andrew Kalman & Danilo Gutierrez Cornejo! They each won a $500 scholarship from Dutch Bros at the College & Career fair this week at Chemeketa Comm College! Way to go Scots!”
