October is going to be super busy for our District - starting off with Spirit/Homecoming week!
McPherson County student council is looking for paper feed sacks, salt or mineral sacks to cover the SV to burn Sunday for the start of Homecoming. If you have any please bring to the school Friday morning by noon. We also need old light smooth wire to wrap the sacks on. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Florea.
Parents of 5th and 6th grade students!
Starting Thursday of this week, I will be requiring beginning band students to find 30 minutes a week to practice their instrument. They will be given a packet that contains some info to aid them in practicing and a folder that will have music for them to practice! They will also need to bring their packet and folders with them to band class.
I understand that schedules can get in the way with finding time to practice, so don't stress if you can't get all 30 minutes done in one shot! Also, I'm very flexible and am willing to meet before and/or after school with your student. I also understand if that doesn't work either, if that is the case, email me at Tmiller@mcstryon.org and we can work out a time, or if you have any question email me.
Thank you!

Dear Parents/Guardians:
We would like to inform you that on October 2, 2026, McPherson County Schools will have an early dismissal due to Homecoming festivities in Stapleton. We want to allow our students, staff, and families the opportunity to attend. We will dismiss at 1:00 p.m., bus running accordingly.
For students in grades 7-12, there will be volleyball and football transportation leaving at 2:00 p.m. For other students who want to participate with your class at the carnival, we will have one vehicle that can take you to Stapleton, leaving at 2:00 p.m., but it will not be returning to Tryon until after the dance. You will need to have another way of transportation home if you are not attending the dance.

On Monday, students in grades 10-12 had the opportunity to receive F.A.S.T (First Aid for Severe Trauma) with Trudy Merritt from WCDH. They worked on how to slow or stop life-threatening bleeding and apply tourniquets.
Sometimes math makes you feel like a "Blue-Man".
VERY EXCITING NEWS! The District has been awarded a $350,000.00 Grant towards a new bus / vehicle building!
Reminder, parent-teacher conferences start tomorrow night from 4:00-7:00 p.m. and continue Friday morning from 8:00-11:00 a.m. We hope you can make one of those times work. Also, we have a Book Fair going on at the elementary. Stop by and get those early presents for the holidays!
The aviation class successfully completed their first mission, fundamentals of flight control surfaces and situational awareness. Great job gentlemen!
Feels like fall! Busy week for all of our students. Parent-teacher conferences are Thursday evening or Friday morning. No school on Friday. We hope to see you there! Book fair will be set up at the elementary.
We are also looking for someone to sit in our high school morning science classes and proctor students!
Parents/guardians: Just a reminder F.A.S.T training will be September 14th for students in grades 10-12. A letter was sent home with your students last week. On September 15th, student health checks for grades K-4, 7, and 10 will be conducted. A letter and form were sent home last week, and only need to be returned if you do not want your child to participate in the height and weight. Vision and dental checks have to be completed unless we have documentation submitted to the school by tomorrow.
We are looking for some special individuals to join our community here at MCS! Interested or have any questions? Please call the school and reach out to Superintendent Pritchard, or email her at apritchard@mcstryon.org
