Home & School Parent Group
McKinley is in need of parents who are interested in volunteering in our Home and School Parent Group. Parental involvement is an important part of a complete education. If you would like to be a part of this important and much needed effort, please call 215-400-7440 and let us know. In an effort to get parents involved, we are asking that every teacher identify two parents willing to attend one meeting a month. If you are interested, please tell your child’s teacher.
