Distance Learning For All

Welcome to McKay Creek Elementary – Home of the Mustangs

Welcome to McKay Elementary where “It Feels Like Home.” McKay is one of the Pendleton School District’s best kept secrets. Our small, country school nestled near the McKay Creek is a great place for students to grow and learn.

Our staff focus is to build life-long relationships with our students and provide for an engaging and nurturing learning environment. We promote high expectations for active learning while increasing emotional awareness, self-management, and leadership in all of our students. The staff at McKay is dedicated to meeting students where they are and identifying and addressing the learning needs of all students through enrichment and student-specific interventions.

McKay has a very active parent club and you are encouraged to participate in meetings and help with the planning of activities that bring a community feel to our school family. Here at McKay everyone is welcome and accepted.

Edited 5/19/20 – Pendleton High School Graduation, Drive-Through Format at Round-Up Grounds: May 30, 10:00 am.

Edited – Pendleton High School will be conducting its graduation ceremony on Saturday, May 30^th. Due to the pandemic impacts and social restrictions that are currently in place, this year’s ceremony will be different from year’s past, in particular, we will be utilizing a “drive-thru” strategy. There is a limit of one vehicle per graduate to the presentation of diplomas that will take place at the Round-Up Grounds. Despite these historic times, we are excited to be able to honor our graduating seniors in the Class of 2020.

Due to COVID-19 and Oregon’s Governor closing school buildings through the end of the academic year, Graduation is to be determined.
