McKenna Elementary

Dear McKenna Families,

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child(ren) into our McKenna Elementary School community. My name is Jodi Jarmin and I will be your new principal at McKenna for the 2022-23 school year. I feel extremely fortunate to be working alongside the amazing staff at McKenna! If you are returning, then you already know what a great school we have. If you are new to McKenna, you will find our school is outstanding for many reasons. First, we have hard-working and dedicated staff members who genuinely care about their students and plan meaningful and engaging lessons for your child(ren). Next, we have AWESOME students! Finally, I have seen first hand how amazing our parents are at McKenna! They support the teachers and the school actively and are involved in the daily activities within our school. Our staff encourages and appreciates parental involvement at school, whether it is through classroom assistance, PTA activities, or active communication with your child’s teacher. We hope to see and hear from you often. Please sign up to volunteer and remember to join our PTA!

We as a school are continuing to focus on a program called No Excuses University. This motivating program is a way for the staff at McKenna to set up six exceptional systems to help all students achieve.  Along with these six systems, comes the belief that every student deserves the opportunity to be educated in a way that prepares them for college if they so choose to attend.  Each classroom has adopted a university and teachers take time each month to talk about college and careers.  We want our students to know that the road to college begins here at McKenna!

Again, welcome!  I value open communication, so please feel free to contact me via phone or email. I would love to meet you and support you and your family. I look forward to an exciting school year!
