McAuliffe Holiday Grams!

The McAuliffe Make a Wish club is selling Holiday Grams! You can send grams to your favorite friends, favorite teachers, favorite classmates. Grams will be delivered on Thursday, December 17 and delivered to 4th period in both cohorts. Each gram will have a treat attached.

Click this link to purchase your grams; click "MENU" in the top left corner; click the HOLIDAY GRAM link. There are 8 options for purchase. Click the link about the options to view all eight and select one. Submit the information for each gram and you can donate directly to the Make a Wish Foundation.

Currently, the Make a Wish link is glitchy and sometimes accepts payments and sometimes doesn't. They are working on the link at this time. If you have already ordered a holiday gram, please send $2.00 in an envelope with your child; put the sender name on the envelope and drop it in the basket in the Main Office OR send it to Room 26. All donations are accepted!

Please email Ms. Miller at vmiller@losal.org if you have any questions.

Quarantine and Close Contact FAQ

Thank you for your ongoing partnership in ensuring our campus is safe for all students. In this week’s correspondence I have included information about our Covid-19 Notification and Contact Tracing procedures and Frequently Asked Questions. As you all know, we had our first positive cases at McAuliffe this week. While it has been determined that none of the cases are spread while on campus, it is still important for you to be informed of our procedures.

Please read our FAQ, which will be updated regularly.

YOU'LL ALWAYS WANT TO REMEMBER THIS YEAR! ORDER YOUR YEARBOOK NOW!
