Join us tonight for The Wild Robot at PTA's Movie Night! The event starts at 6:00, but come early to visit the Fall Book Fair. It's your last chance to get books! Doors open for shopping at 5:00 and then stay to enjoy snacks and the show.

Reminder: This is a family event, not a drop-off event for students. There will be no staff supervision. Parent attendance is required, and students must be supervised by parents at all times.

 Students will:

~ wear tennis shoes

~drop their belongings in their classroom

~ eat breakfast either at home or cafeteria

~ line up at the double doors by the cafeteria and wait for an adult to cross them to track

~ on track- can walk (stay on right-outside)  or run (stay to left-inside)

~ when finished, will cross with an adult back to the building; all students will return to the building for class by 7:35am.

UIL A+ Academics is a program designed to challenge and inspire elementary students (grades 2–5) through academic competition. Offered by the University Interscholastic League (UIL), this program includes a variety of events that develop critical thinking, creativity, and academic skills across subjects like math, reading, writing, spelling, storytelling, and more. Students compete individually or as part of a team, building confidence, teamwork, and a love of learning along the way. UIL A+ is a fun and enriching way for your child to explore their talents and grow both academically and personally!  

Information about the individual UIL events is below. By registering your child you are committing to your child's participation in all practices (usually held one day per week after school) and at the McNeil Learning Community UIL Competition on Saturday, January 31, 2026 (if your child qualifies). 

Once you register, a permission form will be sent home for you to complete and sign.
