Debbie Anderson from the Child Abuse Council will be presenting on December 9th - December 11th. This presentation is regarding personal safety and awareness, including what kids should do when presented with inappropriate touching. If you would like more information regarding the presentation, Debbie Anderson’s phone number is 728-6410 or you can contact Jennifer Fethke at 760-1718. If you would like your child to opt-out of the presentation, please let the classroom teacher know in writing or by phone.

World's Finest Chocolate Fundraiser money is due. Please be sure to turn this in next week. If you have questions, please contact the office at 231-760-1700.

Winter weather is here!

Please be sure to send your students dressed for the winter weather. Students will be outside for recess unless it is raining or the "feels like" temperature is less than 10 degrees.

Students should wear winter coats, snowpants, boots, mittens, and hats. We recommend labeling winter items so if they are lost they are easy to identify ad return to the owner.

If your family needs assistance with winter gear, please contact the office at 231-760-1700.

We currently have 165 students who have not had a Education Benefits Form completed for the school year. There was a link to this in the forms for the school year and forms were available at the Back to School Block Party.

Not having these forms completed could impact our ability to provide free breakfast and lunch in the future. This report is critical in determining money that our district receives from State and Federal grant programs like Title 1A, At-risk, and Title IIA, etc. It is also necessary to determine families' Summer EBT eligibility.

Please click this link to complete the form if you have not already done so.

Please review our Spectator Guidelines with your children before attending sporting events and other special events.

Cardinal Families,

Please review the poster below.

We are here to work collaboratively to provide a safe, nurturing school for your children. We are happy to meet with you regarding any concerns you may have. We do ask that you follow the expectations outlined below, or you will be asked to leave and schedule a time to meet with us later.

Thank you for your assistance with this.

Sincerely,

The Cardinal Elementary Office, Teachers, and Staff
