Newsletter- November 4th

For a list of all important upcoming events go to mackayhsa.membershiptoolkit.com/events

Is your student in the directory?

Many students are not populating in our directory.  This means when parents are looking for members of a specific class to invite to a party or arrange a play date, they are unable to see many classmates.  Please check your settings and ensure your student(s) are placed in the correct Grade & Classroom Teacher.

Staff Gift Card Contribution

In order to make gifting our Mackay Staff a breeze, we have set up an order form on toolkit where you can gift any or all staff members individual amounts (in increments of $5) and even include an individualized note. To access the form log in to mackayhsa.membershiptoolkit.com > My Account > My Forms/Registrations. (This is 100% optional!)


Staff members will use their amounts to purchase gift cards of their choosing, through our fundraising site Raise Right. They will be given the names of those who contributed along with any notes provided. Your amounts will remain confidential!
