Dear McNamara Families,

We hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! On behalf of the entire staff, I want to extend a huge thank you to our incredible PTA for the amazing treats and kindness shown during Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week. Our staff certainly felt the love last week, and we couldn't be more grateful!

Just a reminder we finish up state testing this week with the Grades 3-5 math test May 11 & 12. Any students who missed a day of state testing will make up the session up this week.

Have a terrific week!

Mindy Howard

Upcoming Fire Drill

Pending the weather, our school will be conducting a Fire Drill (emergency evacuation) during the week of May 11. These annual drills are part NYS mandated requirements and a component of our district and building safety plan. During the fire drills students will be supervised by our staff and instructed on what to do in the event of an actual emergency evacuation. The drills being conducted are scheduled to last approximately 10 minutes. Thank you for your understanding as we continue to update and practice our safety and security measures for our students and staff.
