On Wednesday, June 5, fifth graders at McGregor Elementary School stood in place to form the year "2013" then released blue and yellow balloons into the air as they bid farewell to their elementary school years and looked forward to attending middle school in the fall. After the balloons were released, the students sat in formation for a memorable photo.

The Green Committee

Mrs. Wilkins's first graders proudly display their "green" fabric book bags at McGregor Elementary School. Sewn by the PTA Green Committee, these bags are triple recycled! They began as new blue jeans. When worn out, their owners donated them to the Rochester Neighborhood House Clothes Closet. Unable to sell certain jeans because of tears or stains, the Clothes Closet gave the bags to the McGregor Green Committee. The Green Committee cut up the jeans and sewed them into bags. Other bags were made from donated fabric. The first graders are excited to have durable bags, as they travel back and forth to school every day with books to read. The Green Committee is happy to have earned another "Green Point" for McGregor, which will help the school be designated as an "Official Michigan Green School."

Our curriculum is aligned to state and district standards and benchmarks that guide student learning. Staff clearly communicates student academic and behavioral expectations to both students and parents.

Instruction is geared toward educating the academic, social, emotional and physical needs of the child in order to provide achievement for all. Ongoing assessment and analysis of data creates instruction that is differentiated, engaging, and meets the needs of all learners.

Collaboration between and across the grade levels provides alignment of behavioral and academic expectations and delivery of instruction and assessment in a consistent and meaningful way.

McGregor is a community of successful learners.
