Welcome McKinley Elementary Parents!

This page is dedicated to informing parents of the daily operations of our school. Please check back often to see if there are any changes to our school’s regular activities.

As District 88 continues to find ways to strengthen the connection between school and home, we are excited to introduce a new experience for families for the upcoming school year: the PowerSchool Mobile App — your new All-In-One Connection Hub.

🚘 Pick-up and Drop-off

Students are allowed into the building at 7:45 a.m. and should report to the cafeteria. We discourage arrival before this time as there is NO SUPERVISION. At 8:00 a.m. supervision is provided for grades Kdg-2nd on the small playground and grades 3rd-5th on the large playground. In the event of rain, students in grades Kdg-2nd will remain in the cafeteria to wait to be picked up by their teacher at 8:15 a.m. Students in grades 3rd- 5th will proceed to the gymnasium to wait to be picked up by their teacher at 8:15 a.m.
