91͵ recognizes that every family and student is different, and parents have different expectations regarding their child’s reading choices. That’s why we encourage all parents to discuss reading selections as a family.
Students on the opt out list will not be able to use the self-checkout stations and will have to check out books from an adult working in the library. When the student is ready to check out a book, a staff member will check to see if the student’s name is on the opt out list and cross reference the selection/s. If a student has selected a book on the “no check out list” provided by the parent, the staff member will guide the student to another selection.
The opt out will apply only to the parent pre-selected group of specific titles, not topics or themes, and parents still have the option of pre-selecting 100% of their child’s books in the online catalog if they would like to further limit reading selections. Parents who wish to submit more titles, can do so by editing their responses and submitting the form again. If you would like to participate please complete the following form for your child.

Starting January 3, 2023, 91͵ Childcare Programs will welcome a select number of non-employee children into their all-day childcare program at McKinney High School. This program offers a preschool experience for children 2 years through prekindergarten. The program has traditionally been offered only to 91͵ employees. However, space has allowed for a few additional spots open to the public.
Program hours are 6:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. on all school days and required teacher/staff workdays. The daily schedule includes: circle time, math and language centers, art, story time, indoor/outdoor play time and afternoon enrichment activities. Breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack are served each day.
The 91͵ Preschool Program is under the direction of a certified teacher and a highly trained staff. Our current director is a McKinney High School alumna and participated in the Child Guidance Program at McKinney High. She attended college at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene and started her career as a first-grade teacher in Prosper with a total of 17 years working with children. The center is licensed by the Department of Health and Human Services and is inspected regularly.
For more information regarding tuition rates, days of operation or to schedule a tour, please contact Azaleah Barreto by phone at 469-302-2300 or by [email protected].
Counselors have long used various forms of play therapy as a way to connect with children and help them work through emotions and behaviors in a setting that feels comfortable and non-threatening. In the pursuit of play, puppets can be a useful tool.
This year marks Nana Hill's 50th year as an educator. With a reputation for being “firm but fair," this reserved and respected teacher from Vega Elementary has impacted countless students and colleagues.

After a virtual version of the tour in 2021, the 91͵ Senior Tour returned in person on Oct. 20, 2022. A merry band of 33 senior adults, Superintendent Dr. Rick McDaniel, Board Secretary Stephanie O’Dell and Partners in Education Specialist Nancy Cowlishaw climbed aboard two blue and white 91͵ buses and wended their way on a day-long journey to Lawson Early Childhood School, Evans Middle School and the 91͵ Aviation program at the McKinney National Airport.
