Thank You
As we approach the end of the year the entire McKnight staff would like to thank our families for their support over the past year. We appreciate your patience, understanding, and feedback as we moved between remote, hybrid, and in-person learning. We are so proud of our resilient students and their ability to keep moving forward despite obstacles along the way. We wish everyone a safe, relaxing, and healthy summer. We are excited to see everyone back in the fall and wish our rising 6th graders the best in middle school.

Lost and Found
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.
Additionally, lost and found items can be located outside the parent pick-up area at the end of the day next week. Anything left after Friday will be donated!

Committee Volunteer Opportunities
Do you want to get involved in the PFA but not sure what you can do?
We are actively seeking volunteers to join committees for the 2021-2022 school year. There are a variety of opportunities including student activities (ie: after school, yearbook, etc.), community events (ie: ice cream social, bingo, basket night, etc.), staff appreciation, and more.
Many of the committee opportunities are not a large time commitment, and can be done from the comfort of your home!

Elementary Band/Orchestra Registration
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.
