Principal's Message

Principal
Sharon Walker-Hood
Principal
McCord is an AWESOME school filled with many possibilities!  We have dedicated teachers, enthusiastic kids, and amazing parents!  A day doesn’t pass without me finding a reason to smile and marvel.
 
As a mom and as an educator, I believe that schools should be places where kids  feel safe, welcomed, and are successful.  For this to happen connections from school to home and from home to school are necessary.  Picture two circles, one is filled with McCord’s families and the other, with McCord’s teachers and staff; imagine how
much we can accomplish if we WORK TOGETHER!
 
I am extending a welcoming hand to our families to become an active part of the McCord community.  The best way to know what’s happening at school, is to be a part of the school’s culture!  There are 2 events on the calendar this month that are just for parents:  our PFC Meeting on Thursday, November 10th at 6:00 p.m. and Mingle with the Principal on Friday, November 18th at 9:30 a.m. I hope to see you soon .

Tech Insurance Refunds for Students who Qualify for Free/Reduced Lunch

Earlier this year, Public Act 102-805 went into effect requiring school districts to waive fines for the loss of school property, for all students eligible for a fee waiver. The Business Department is working on waiving the technology insurance and completing refunds for students who are eligible and have been approved for free or reduced meals. We appreciate your patience with this matter. All families who have made a payment and qualify for free/reduced meals will receive their refund via check before the end of the school year. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us via email at [email protected]
