McKinney's Project Graduation 2012

 

Dear High School Parents/Guardians,

 

You will soon receive a packet in the mail from the Project Graduation Team. For the 9th year our group of volunteers is working to provide a safe celebration for all MISD graduates and we MUST HAVE YOUR HELP TO SUCCEED.

It takes approximately $100 per senior to host the all-night celebration and many volunteers. We need the assistance of ALL high school parents, not just parents of seniors. Your donation and time will not only help this year's graduates, but will insure that we can continue the Project Graduation tradition for future seniors. Every donation is precious and in this economy we need more help than ever. Please do what you can to make Project Graduation 2012 a night of memories and safety for our seniors.

 

Please visit our new website at 

http://www.McKinneys-Project-Graduation.com for more information or email me. We appreciate your support.

Cell phone use limited in schools zones during school hours  
Use allowed with hands-free devices or when vehicles are stopped

McKinney City Council passed an ordinance limiting the use of mobile devices while driving in school zones. City leaders, McKinney Police and Fire Departments and school districts within the city worked together on the ordinance with the goal of increasing safety measures for school zones.

Use of a mobile communication device on city streets is prohibited when the school zone hours are in effect in the morning and afternoon for drivers of any vehicle if the car is in motion. Hands-free devices are allowed when using a mobile communications device in a school zone, and cell phone use is allowed in a vehicle when it is stopped. It is permissible for passengers in the cars to use cell phones. There are exceptions for medical, fire or police related emergencies.

"Using a cell phone to talk or send messages while driving distracts drivers and increases safety risks and creates a danger to school children. We want to do everything we can to limit those risks, and this ordinance helps us achieve that goal," said Police Chief Doug Kowalski.

Drivers caught using a cell phone to place calls or send text messages in a school zone, without using a hands free device, and while operating a vehicle could be subject to a $200 fine. Signs will be posted warning drivers of the new ordinance.

Parking Permits
Parking Decals may be purchased in J-207 during lunch.

To purchase parking permit, you must have all of the following:

- $50 cash/check
- Drivers License
