Message from Principal Jackson
Dear Panther Parents, Today we had a special moment of silence and reflected on the events that occurred 20 years ago tomorrow. September 11th is a day I will never forget. What stands out to me the most as I reflect about that day, is the way our country came together to repair the devastation that was inflicted upon us. Our first responders were heroic, we supported families who lost loved ones, and the military responded swiftly. The days that followed 9/11 made me truly proud to be an American! Of course, I hated the loss of so many innocent people who simply went to work that day as if it were any other day on the job. However, the collective response from all walks of life, coming together, donating of money and time and words of encouragement was like nothing I had ever seen before and have not seen since. So today, during our moment of silence, I remembered again the prideful feeling of being part of something bigger than myself…I remembered how proud I am to be an American. Now back to business. School pictures are next week, September 16th. This will be the picture that will be in our historically award-winning yearbook. Everything is digital now, so please see the newsletter for access to order pictures. Our first Lockdown Drill was a success. Please keep in mind our next one will be unannounced in the spring. For after-school sporting events and/or fine arts performances, students MUST BE ACCOMPANIED by an adult to attend. Please help us with this effort. This is a safety protocol and we appreciate your understanding. Have a wonderful weekend, Darla 469-302-7111 djackson@mckinneyisd.net Evans Calendar of Events 2021-2022 Academic Calendar Home Access Center (HAC)

2021-22 Free Lunches and Application Process
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued guidance that allows schools to offer meals to all students at no cost for the 2021-2022 school year. McKinney will be participating in the USDA waivers for free meals once again this school year. Healthy meals will be offered every school day to all students at no cost.
Typically, a student’s household must meet income eligibility requirements to qualify for free or reduced-price meals. While no application or eligibility determination is required for your student to receive free meals this school year, income eligibility requirements will likely resume in the 2022-2023 school year. As such, McKinney ISD will process household applications during School Year 2021-2022 to ensure student eligibility for free or reduced-price meals during the first 30 days of the 2022-2023 school year
Starting on August 3rd we will begin processing online applications as well as accepting written applications. Food Service strongly encourages families to apply online this year, however, we will provide schools with paper applications. Every school will be distributed a minimal amount of paper applications for parents to pick up if requested. We are asking each school to communicate or post the following link in newsletters, social media, or other forms of communication http://www.mckinneyisd.schoollunchapp.com/
