Important Update on the McKelvie 2019-20 Yearbook We have not distributed the 2019-20 McKelvie yearbooks yet. Due to Covid, there was a delay in receiving the books and subsequently we discovered a printing issue, so the publisher is reprinting them. Once we have a new delivery date, we will notify families of the plan for distribution. Thanks for your patience during these unprecedented times.

McKelvie, the time has come to return your library books (not textbooks just yet)! On Friday, May 15th, we will begin collecting library books. Be sure to check your Destiny library account to see which books are checked out to you.  Click  HERE  for a detailed letter regarding the library book return process. Thank you for your support. The books and I miss you! ~Mrs. Cote
