Just a few reminders as we approach the first day of school:
PowerSchool: New parents will receive their parent PowerSchool log in information at the New Parent Meeting this Thursday evening at 5:30PM. New Students will receive theirs at orientation. Parents who have a new freshmen, but a current McT student, do not need to attend the New Parent Orientation. They can pick up their log in information from Elisa Toth in the Registrars Office on Friday or contact her at tothe@mcgill-toolen.org.
Cafeteria Accounts: We are meeting with Lexington Foods this week to clarify the process for setting up new lunch accounts and adding funds. We will send information out as soon as possible.
iPads: Students will receive their iPads at orientation. All students will receive an iPad, case, apple pencil and earbuds. Mr. Fancher is working on tagging apple pencil serial numbers to student ID numbers to prevent confusion.
Books: All required books will be provided through school. Digital Books will be pushed to student iPads or accessed via Canvas. Physical books will be distributed the first week of school.
Parking Decals: Students must purchase a parking decal in order to park on campus. Please plan to purchase your decal no later than Sunday, August 14th to be able to pick it up at orientation. In order to purchase a decal and register a vehicle for parking on campus, students will need to have the following items with them at the time of decal purchase (online):
- $60.00 - Card only
