PEP stands for Parents as Educational Partners, and PEP is an integral part of the school organization at McKinley Elementary School. The strongest parent groups are those that work hand in hand with school administration, children, and the community to braid support for the students into their day-to-day experiences. Our goal is to support and uplift our school and the students to reach their highest potential. Most PEP parents are working individuals with various family dynamics. The thing we have in common is the love of our children and the desire to both be involved in their education and to make our community a better place.
