It was a MUST to begin the message this week with a SHOUT OUT to our student body for their grit, focus and determination this week on the MAP assessments in ELA and Math. We had the vast majority of students take the entire 2 hour window to complete the assessment.

Here's the even better news - because students took their time, showed patience and concentration, we will be able to use the results of this assessment to inform our instructional planning. We're thrilled to do so.

I also want to congratulate the following students who were a part of our Sources of Strength Student Leader training on Thursday!

Sixth Grade: Bella Landies, Zach Kelly, Gracey Tranter, Trevor Mandula, Abby Stone, Amylia Sneek, Jilian Cutler, Adelynne Baird, SJ Moore, William Bosiacki, Noella Dowd, Gabby Hren, Marijke Buholzer, Violet Shubert, and William Rein

Seventh Grade: Erin Brown, Katie Brinkley, Liam Wludyga, Tyler Titschinger, Wyatte Desantis, Eden Hegfield, Brooklyn Ray, Elliot Love, Tre Bell, Aiden Jacobs, Allie Stumph, Grayden Hazen, Reese O'Reilly, Ella Landon, Austin Rusher, Mia Wagner, and LIlly Jefferson

Keep smiling!

Below are a few important items to review:

1.) Immunizations are required in the school setting. Immunization information from your healthcare provider needs to be sent to us and available before 8/28/24. Please call with questions regarding this. Thank you to all who have already sent them in. If you need an exemption form please call me.

2). Vision and hearing screenings will be conducted shortly. If your child saw an eye doctor over the summer, he/she does not need to be screened again. Please let me know. These checks get done on all 5th, 7th, and new-to-district students. Call me if you do not want your child screened.

3.) If your child has a medical plan or needs medication at school, a new plan and new medication order is needed each school year. A doctor or nurse practitioner has to fill out this information. Again, please call the clinic with questions regarding this. I can send appropriate forms home with the child.

4.) Please be mindful of not sending your child to school if the child is exhibiting signs of illness (high temperature, productive cough, vomiting, etc). We want to avoid clusters of illnesses.

5.) If your child gets injured at home or school and ends up in a cast, splint, or crutches, please get a doctor's note about any activity restrictions and treatments that may be needed for me to carry out.

My hours are 7:15 a.m. to 2:50 p.m.

Thank you
