Welcome to the 2025-2026 School Year
Dear McGlinnen Families,
It is my honor to welcome you back to McGlinnen for the 2025-2026 school year! I hope you have had a great summer break. We have been busy getting the school ready and are looking forward to having a full and bustling school with many opportunities for learning, growth, and making new friends.
If you are interested in bus transportation, and have not filled out the transportation request form, please fill out the Bus Transportation Registration form by clicking on this link. All students taking the bus this year must register, even if you were already registered last year. Transportation will be making contact with families before school starts with bus stop information. The current Clintondale bus routes are available on our website.
If you are interested in Latchkey, please call Melissa Kloposki at (586) 790-7603 for more information and to register.
The first day of school is Tuesday, Sept. 2, and is a regular full day of school starting at 8:15 a.m. and ending at 3 p.m. Each morning McGlinnen students line up outside their hallway exterior doors no earlier than 8:10 a.m. Fourth and fifth grade students line up at the Main Entrance. There is no lining up inside the building. Students are released from those same doors at 3 p.m. Please be patient and courteous in our parking lot at arrival and dismissal so that everyone is safe and protected. We are a full school and will have several buses, vehicles, people, and children on the grounds.
