In addition, visitors to the McKinney ISD web site

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.
