Beginning Monday, February 1^st, 2016, Box Elder School District will be administering school climate surveys. The purpose is to gather stakeholder input about teachers, principals, and schools. All parents/ guardians are invited to participate by filling out an online survey. Responses are anonymous and no personal information is collected. Results will be given to teachers and administrators and used to improve classrooms and schools. The surveys are short, taking about 10 minutes to complete.

There is a link to the survey on the school website. If you do not have a computer, please come and take the survey at the school where we have a computer set up for you, or you can take it on any public computer such as those available at a public library. The survey is available in English and Spanish.

You can access the survey by clicking here: https://uepc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b89yccRIISvhgDb.

Students 3rd grade and older are asked to take a survey as well. Here is the link for parents to help students take the survey.

February 2016 Parent Teacher Conferences

It is time for Parent Teacher Conferences at McKinley Elementary. They will be held Wednesday, February 17th and Thursday, February 18th. Kindergarten will also have conferences on Friday, February 19th from 8 AM-3 PM. There will be no school that day for KINDERGARTEN ONLY.

To schedule a time with your student's teacher, please click on the teacher's name below and it will take you to their Parent Teacher Conference webpage where you can sign up for a conference time. It is very simple to use. You just review the slot times and when you find one that works for you, push the "Sign Up" button next to the time slot you want and it puts a check mark in the box, then you push the "Submit and Sign Up" button at the bottom of the screen and follow the directions. It should automatically come up with the "I do not have a sign up genius account" checked and leave it that way and fill in the information. MAKE SURE TO PUT PARENT'S NAME IN THE SIGN UP WHERE IT ASKS FOR NAME AND EMAIL BUT PUT YOUR STUDENT'S NAME IN THE COMMENT BOX ON THE SIGN UP PAGE THAT IS AT THE TOP WHERE IT SHOWS THE CONFERENCE TIME YOU ARE SIGNING UP FOR.

If you have any questions, please notify us.

Thank you and we look forward to meeting with you.
