 well as nine week beginning and end dates and student holidays.

 

In addition, visitors to the McKinney ISD web site can pick and choose which school and/or organizational events they want to see on their own personal calendar. Parents can select certain schools and even specific organizations within those schools (i.e. football, volleyball, choir, band, PTA or PTO, etc.).

 

Parents and visitors can also sign up to receive email notifications when a new event has been posted or when a previously posted event has been changed due to a time or location change. E-mail reminders are also available with the event calendar.

 

Instructions on how to use the new McKinney ISD event calendar are included below. You can also print out PDF file instructions from the links located in the boxes below.

 

If you have any questions regarding a specific event at a campus, please contact that campus directly.
