Bobcat Bulletin

Bobcat Families,

Thank you for another #extraordinary year of learning & growing together. Our Bobcat community truly is one of a kind and I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to know each of you and be with your children each day. Serving this community has brought so much JOY into my heart & I will cherish the memories forever. Thank you for all you do to make SF a culture of support and collaboration. I look forward to hearing about all of the amazing ways our Bobcats continue to grow and thrive in the future, not just at school but in the community as well!

Wishing each of you a relaxing and memorable summer!

Warmly,

Darlene Baumgartner

Parents--You may start to see schedules or teacher placements for 24-25 appear in PowerSchools, HOWEVER, these are not updated or accurate. PowerSchools is simply storing student registrations for next school year and schedules/placements will be finalized during the summer months. Thank you for your understanding and patience. We look forward to sharing schedules and teachers at our Meet the Teacher Event in July. **Please do not contact the office for schedule or placement changes at this time.**

Does your SF student want to try out for any of the school athletic teams next year? It’s time to update or set up your Register My Athlete account (www.registermyathlete.com) to prepare to participate in athletics next school year! Now is the perfect time to get your student athlete’s sports physical done so they are ready to try out for any/all sports next school year.

Step by step instructions for RMA can be found HERE. Once an account is created, all forms can be accessed through the website. Completed forms should be uploaded through Register My Athlete. These documents need to be completed/updated each school year.

• Baseball/Softball - Week of August 12th
• Cross Country - Starts Sept. 23rd (no try outs)

Parents, it's time to buy your 1st Day School Supplies. I know it seems early, but before you know it, summer will be here. It's important you order your supplies before it's too late or supplies run out. Start the school year with the exact supplies your teacher requested, and give your child the confidence they need to conquer next year!

Hello,

The end of the school year is quickly approaching. If your child keeps medication in the nurse’s office, please remember to pick up your child’s medication(s) on the last day of school, Thursday, May 16th at 12pm. If you are unable to pick up your child’s medication by 12:00 pm on Thursday May16th, please speak with the school nurse to make alternative arrangements.

 No medications will be held over until August.

 Any medications left in the Health Office will be discarded.

 Students are not permitted to pick up or transport medications from/to school.

 New doctors’ orders and new medications will be required for each school year. For your convenience, forms can be found here on the bottom of my Health Center Website: https://www.dvusd.org/Page/42482

If your child will need medication during the 2024-25 school year, please have your child’s healthcare provider complete a medication administration form during the summer, which can be found on my school nurse website https://www.dvusd.org/Page/42482

and provide it to the school nurse along with the corresponding medication in August.

It has been a pleasure to work with your children this year and I hope you all have a very happy and healthy summer. Thank you very much in advance for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Christine Wetzel RN
