Principal's Message

Thank you for joining us Wednesday night for the McGaugh Elementary School Town Hall Meeting.  The topic we discussed was campus safety. Ensuring the safety and well-being of our Sea Lions, teachers, and support staff on campus is our most significant responsibility. The unwavering support of McGaugh parents, the guidance of our district leadership, and strong partnerships ( Seal Beach Police Department, OCFA, and Military) allows us to see student safety and campus security from multiple perspectives and proactively work to give our community a strong sense of safety and security while on campus. The recorded version of the meeting can be found here.

We have quite a busy schedule this week. Students and families are excited about McGaugh Idol. Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, we have limited seating capacity. Ticket sales will be prioritized first to the families of students in the performance. Families of performers must purchase their tickets by 2:45 pm on Monday, January 24th. Ticket sales will open for all families based on availability on Tuesday, January 25th before and after school.

Here is some important current information:
