Principal's Message
Dragon Families,
Volunteering at the elementary level can be incredibly rewarding and impactful! We currently have several volunteer opportunities as we approach the final few weeks of the school year:
- Book Fair – Please contact Mrs. Lindstrom (jlindstrom@troy.k12.mi.us) or Mrs. Martin (smartin@troy.k12.mi.us.) if you are available next week to help!
- Noon Aides – This can be a paid or volunteer position. These are 1.5 hour shifts during our lunch period. We are looking for supportive parents, grandparents, or family members who are willing to support during lunch and lunch recess. Please contact Mrs. Ohman (gohman@troy.k12.mi.us) if you are interested. Even taking one shift a week, or month, can be helpful to us!
- Field Day – Please see the information below about how you can support field day. This is one of our favorite days of the year!
Thank you!
Mrs. Keegan
Proud Principal of Schroeder Elementary

4th Grade Instrument Fitting Reminder
Our 4th grade students will have the opportunity to try instruments for 5th grade band and orchestra this spring. Doing instrument fittings in May will save your family time before band and orchestra classes start in the fall. Please see the information about instrument fittings below.
The evening instrument fitting event is coming up on Tuesday, May 14th in the gym at Baker Middle School. Having your 4th grader fitted for an instrument will save your family time and help us get prepared for the start of band and orchestra classes in the fall. All 4th grade families are encouraged to attend this event. Please see the schedule listed below. We encourage you to come during your school’s assigned time. If you are not able to attend during the assigned time, you could come during another school’s time.
5:00-5:30 Hill, TU
5:30-6:00 Wattles, Bemis
6:00-6:30 Martell, Schroeder
6:30-7:00 Barnard, Leonard
7:00-7:30 Hamilton, Costello

The Instrument Fitting Process
· Your student will try at least 3 instruments.
· After trying the instruments, your student will meet with one of the band and orchestra teachers to discuss their instrument choice.
· Each student will receive an “Instrument Choice Form” including the instrument they have selected.
Representatives from Meyer Music will be assisting the 4th graders as they try instruments. You will have the opportunity to set up an instrument rental agreement that will begin when band and orchestra classes start in September. You could also choose to rent instruments from other local music stores now or wait until September. Please email Matt Tignanelli (mtignanelli@troy.k12.mi.us) if you have any questions about instrument fittings, obtaining an instrument, or anything else in regard to 5th grade band and orchestra.

Autism Acceptance Month
April was Autism Acceptance Month and students were encouraged to wear red as a sign of support for Autism Acceptance Month. At Schroeder, we strive to create an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. Every person is different, and that’s what makes our world vibrant and diverse.
Student's in Miss Pertler's class showed off their red gear to encourage all of us to embrace differences and show empathy.
National Lunch Heroes Day!
Students in Ms. Hazergian's class showed their Schroeder kindness and respect to Schroeder's kitchen staff some well-deserved love. Thank you Mrs. Kosho, Mrs. Agarwal and Mrs. Akter for serving our dragons and making each day a yummy one!
*KINDNESS * PERSERVERANCE * RESPECT*
Thank You Schroeder Parents and PTO!
