ALL CALL FOR LIBRARY BOOKS! I bet that you have been reading ALL summer long because our McAlpine library has 170 checked-out library books! Since you have already read these books, do you think you could drop them back off at McAlpine, so that other students can read them? When we have these books returned, guess what?!!! I am going to check out NEW books to you that you will be able to pick up! I am looking to see which grade level can return the most books, and the quickest. On your mark..... get set..... RETURN!! To return books, a bin will be in the front office. Adults can drop off books in the office any day during school hours. Don't forget to wear your mask! 

Book check out will start soon.  Please look for information coming from Mrs. Lockso!!!

Chromebook and other login information can be found on the McAlpine Elementary School website. Here are two quick reference guides for you to use!

All K-5 McAlpine students must have a CMS device issued from McAlpine Elementary. If you are having trouble with a CMS issued device, please contact your child’s homeroom teacher. Their homeroom teacher will submit a technology request for a repair. Mr. Bilotta or Mrs. Lockso will contact you to see if the device can be repaired through troubleshooting at home or if it would need to be exchanged at school. We are extremely limited on devices for exchanges, but will do our best to issue you another device. If an exchange is needed, please come to McAlpine and use the door buzzer. The office staff will come to the door and receive your device. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we work together to get through these technology issues.
