Please join Woodlands and McCormick Rox groups with their winter coat drive. Donate new and gently used coats for Huron students and OHGO to assist families in need. Coats will be collected through December 18th. The collection box is located in the hall in front of the auditorium.
If you are planning to take extra days off for Winter Break, a vacation form needs to be completed and turned in to the school office.
Winter Break is from December 21 - January 2.
On December 20th there is an early dismissal at 1:20.
When you are given something from someone, never insult that person by making negative comments about the gift or by insinuating that it wasn’t appreciated. No matter how big or small or how valuable the gift is, one should always say thank you and show gratitude.
McCormick students during subject transitions and moving to different classrooms you will be swift, quiet, and orderly.
Make sure you are exhibiting the skills of Positive Communication, Positive Group/Team Work, Being to class on Time, Problem Solving, Questioning and Reflecting, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Listening, and Empathy for a chance to earn a ticket for the end of the quarter rewards. We will be giving away some great prizes.
The end of the quarter is only about 4 weeks away. Our quarterly attendance competition is close again this quarter. Last quarter the 6th grade won. Who will it be this quarter? The average daily attendance for the three grades are 95%, 94% and 94%. The race is very tight with the 6th grade in a slight lead. Stay in the game and come to school each day.
