Principal’s Message

Dear McKinley Elementary Families,

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year at McKinley Elementary School! I am honored and excited to begin another wonderful year serving our students, staff, and families.

This school year marks my 28th year in education. My journey began as a substitute teacher before spending 10 years teaching high school English. I then served as an Assistant Principal for 8 years before joining the McKinley family. Each role has strengthened my passion for education and my commitment to helping every child succeed both academically and personally.

At McKinley, our goal is to ensure growth and success for all students. We are dedicated to creating a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where every child feels valued, challenged, and inspired to reach their full potential. We know that strong partnerships between school and home are essential, and we look forward to working closely with families to support our students throughout the year.

Our staff is committed to providing meaningful learning experiences while fostering kindness, responsibility, and confidence in every student. Together, we can make this school year a positive and successful experience for all.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. I am proud to be part of the McKinley community and look forward to a fantastic year ahead!

Sincerely,
Shannon Bancroft, Principal
