Tips From Your Family Liaison
McMeen is proud of our diverse students and families. Studies show that the likelihood of a minority student graduating high school exponentially increases with parental involvement as well as having staff or faculty members that mirror them. I want to encourage all of our African American, Latinx, Asian and Arabic speaking families to plug into volunteering, participating in events and PTO. Lets show our kids how much we care by surrounding them with our incredible community! -Lilly

#ThisIsMyMcMeen
What's Happening With Our Mustangs?


On Friday McMeen first graders met Dr. Gary Shapiro and learned about his work with orangutans. He was the very first person to teach sign language to orangutans! We're so lucky he left each class with a copy of his book so we can learn more about his work with these amazing animals!

Mustang Parent Tip
Please help support our McMeen Library by visiting our Amazon Wishlist! The list consists of books that will help complete full collections of book series. Imagine your student getting invested in a book series of 4 books, but our library is missing book 3, oh no how disappointing and now we’ve interrupted that reading excitement for our student. Please help us avoid this scenario and disappointment! Help grow our library and our readers love of books! Follow this link to our amazon wishlist, McMeen Library Amazon Wish List . For any library or book questions please contact Stephanie_Smith@dpsk12.org

Social and Emotional Screenings
Last year, McMeen participated in a pilot for the BESS Screener, a social emotional screener for grades 3-5. This year, McMeen third-fifth graders will be completing this screener on Thursday September 26, 2019. This screener allows us to help support our students social and emotional needs while at school. Passive permission slips have been sent home with all third, fourth and fifth graders in Thursday folders. Please return these slips only if you do NOT want your student to participate by Wednesday September 25, 2019. If you have questions, please reach out to:
