Dear McLoughlin Families,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! It is with great excitement that I welcome you to McLoughlin Middle School. Whether you are returning to our school community or joining us for the first time, we are thrilled to have you as part of our Mac family.

At McLoughlin, we are deeply committed to fostering a school culture rich in engagement, where every student feels valued, challenged, and supported. We are dedicated to providing engaging and meaningful experiences that ignite curiosity, encourage critical thinking, and prepare our students for future challenges through a continuous focus on both academic and social-emotional growth.

We envision McLoughlin Middle School as a place where ALL students learn at high levels in an environment of unconditional love and support. To achieve this, we will utilize all available resources to:

  • Build strong communities: We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere in our classrooms, school, and community, ensuring every member of the McLoughlin family feels a sense of belonging.
  • Achieve instructional excellence: Our goal is to meet each student where they are and deliver meaningful, engaging, and relevant learning opportunities that foster academic, social, and emotional growth.
  • Collaborative teaching: Our teachers work together to design lessons that motivate and engage students in a rigorous curriculum. By providing clear learning targets, meaningful and relevant activities, and multiple opportunities to demonstrate understanding, we aim to enhance each student’s mastery of the standards.

As we embark on this new school year together, I want to remind you that my door is always open. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or any member of our team if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas. We are here to support your child’s education. Together, we will make this a year full of learning, growth, and memorable experiences.

Welcome back, and here’s to a fantastic school year.

Sara Tackett
