We have lots of coats, lunch boxes, and other items in our lost and found. Please have your child check the area (located near the Art Rooms) for any lingering items. Teachers will be reminding students as well. Any items remaining at the end of the year will be donated. Thank you.

We are excited to continue our partnership between McKnight Elementary and the Educational Partnership. This organization provides school supplies to students and teachers of economically challenged schools. McKnight will once again be participating in the “Students 2 Students Program” which empowers students to help underprivileged children in their community.

Each month a dress-up day will be offered and students will have the opportunity to participate with a $1 donation. June's dress-up day, Sunglasses Day, is Friday, June 4. Students may wear sunglasses at school for a $1 donation.

Elementary students have the exciting opportunity to begin instruction on a band (rising 4th or 5th Grader) or orchestra (rising 3rd, 4th, or 5th Grader) instrument next school year. This is the first step of a student’s participation in one of Western Pennsylvania’s most award-winning music programs with a proud legacy of generations of students learning to make music.

You can find more information about Elementary Band & Orchestra as well as register your child for Band or Orchestra next school year at these links:

If your child will be a returning band/orchestra student, they DO NOT need to re-register for next school year.

More than one year into the pandemic, recognition, and practice of wellness is at the forefront for our students, families, staff, and community. As NA continues to meet the needs of our community, we are taking a careful look at mental health and wellness.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month this May, select staff members have volunteered to share their expertise, experiences, and tips for normalizing discussions around mental health. Be on the lookout for weekly updates throughout May and help us educate, support, and fight the stigma for all. To access materials for Week 5, “Taking Care of Me,” visit our Mental Health and Wellness website. Previous weekly materials continue to remain accessible to all.
