Children who will be five years old on or before August 31st are eligible to register for our 2025-2026 Kindergarten classes. Parents can choose to register online (see link below) or in person at McAuliffe Elementary at our in-person registration event. In-Person Event: The in-person event will be held on Thursday, February 20th from 1:00pm – 7:00pm. Parents new to our school will be able to meet school administration, staff/teachers, and have a tour of our school. Our Registrar will provide computers for parents to register their student on site. Tours will be approximately 30 minutes in length and led by school administration at 4:30pm and 6:00pm. Online Registration: Parents familiar with our school and/or unable to attend our February 22nd event can register their child for Kindergarten online at: https://www.lwsd.org/students-families/registration Required Documents: Parents will be required to upload the following documents when registering their child. Registration can still be stared if these documents are not available at the time of registration, with parents uploading these documents at a later date. Our Registrar can also help with the uploading of documents, as needed.
Important: While K-12 student registration will continue throughout the school year and summer, parents are highly encouraged to register students as soon as possible. Doing so helps LWSD to ensure that class sizes are balanced and adequate staff are hired in time for the new school year. Challenger Chase Fun Run
What is better than hearing the cheers of kids who haven't just broken a record but sent it soaring into the stratosphere? We are still overflowing with gratitude for our incredible community and your generous, big-hearted support of our Fun Run fundraiser. Together we managed to raise $104,651!!
The PTSA supports all McAuliffe students in so many ways, and it is YOU that makes this possible. We can fund teacher stipends so that we have clubs like choir, running club, and ASB. We can make our events free for everyone - no tickets, free raffles, and no registration fees for events like the STEM fair and the spelling bee. We can give every teacher $300 in classroom supply fees, which means richer learning environments for our students. We can fund additional learning resources like the licences for Mystery Science, Accelerated Reading/STARS, and Scholastic News/Times for Kids. And when our amazing custodian Mr Mitch asks for a leaf blower to keep the playground clean, we can say yes! All of this is made possible because of you, our phenomenal McAuliffe community. Thank you for making such a difference in our kids' lives! Go Challengers!! PTSA Accomplishments ReportDear PTSA Members,
