McEachron Elementary kicked off its school year with a sweet twist: pastries, parents, and a brand-new principal. Kylie Desjardins welcomed students and families with open arms, emphasizing community, communication, and routine—key to setting the tone for a strong school year. While kindergarteners were thrilled, sixth and ninth graders across USD 501 also returned, alongside new faces at Avondale, Capital City, and Hope Street Academy. For parents still waiting, Desjardins’ top tip? Get back on schedule—bedtimes, wake-ups, and that 8:10 AM doorbell.
