Dear McKinley STEM Academy Students and Families,


Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at McKinley!


On behalf of the entire staff, we are thrilled to welcome back our returning students and extend a warm welcome to our new families. We believe that a strong partnership between school and home is crucial for success. We encourage you to be actively involved in your child’s education.


As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we encourage all families to stay informed and connected:


📱 Follow us on Facebook – Stay up-to-date with school news, events, and announcements by following our official page.


💻 Visit our School Website – You’ll find essential information including supply lists, uniform policy, and other back-to-school details. Click the button below.


I am excited about the upcoming year and believe that together we can create an educational experience for your children that will be unmatched in the Valley! This school is really something special and I look forward to leading the fantastic team at McKinley STEM Academy. There will be a few changes made this year and change can be difficult. If you give me a little grace and patience, I promise to continue the tradition of excellence here at McKinley STEM.


We are looking forward to an incredible school year. Thank you for being a valued part of the SCS family. Let’s make this school year our best one yet!
