Principal's Message
Dear Dragon Community,
The last two weeks have been full of fun! Here are a few highlights:
- Schroeder Fair: What a success! The studentsā enthusiasm and energy were the true heart of the event. Their smiles and laughter were truly infectious and made the event incredibly special! It was not just an event, but a celebration of our community spirit and the strong bonds we share.
- 5th Grade Camp: Our students had an incredible time. We had three days of outdoor activities, team-building exercises, and recreational fun! I am so proud of them for embracing new challenges while making lifelong memories along the way.
- First Grade and Kindergarten Zoo Field Trips: We love taking our students to the Detroit Zoo! Our students had a wonderful time exploring the exhibits, learning about the animals, and enjoying a day filled with excitement and discovery.
We look forward to carrying our excitement into our final week of school!
Mrs. Keegan
Proud Principal of Schroeder Elementary

Yearbook Information
Yearbooks were distributed on June 6th to all students who ordered yearbooks. We do have a few extra yearbooks available for purchase. They are $12 each (cash only and exact amount - the office cannot make change) and will be given on a first come, first serve basis. If you think you ordered a yearbook and did not receive one, you may have opted to have the yearbook mailed to your home. Please feel free to email Mrs. Murphy and cc your child's teacher for any yearbook questions or to request a copy (rmurphy@troy.k12.mi.us).
Schroeder Field Day!
Remember to wear your grade level's color on field day! Also, remind your child to bring a labeled water bottle and sunscreen! Please have your child wear tennis shoes/not sandals or Crocs.
Pizza & Field Day Treats Supplied by PTO
This year, Schroeder PTO will be providing Papa Romano's cheese pizza for all the Schroeder students! This was made possible from the generous donations from this year's Jogathon! Fun fact: Jogathon is being renamed to Dragon Dash! Check out the Dragon Dash information in the PTO section of this newsletter.
Schroeder PTO will be treating the students to a refreshing FlaVor Ice as they have done in the past. If there is a change due to availability, the change will be communicated.
Report Cards
Reports cards will be available in the PowerSchool Parent Portal on June 25th. If you want to keep a copy of your child's report card, please remember to print your copy before July 30th! This is a hard deadline as the data for the new school year will be uploaded August 1st. If you need help with your PowerSchool account, please email the TSD technology department at pssupport@troy.k12.mi.us.

CARE Registration Note
Due to the delay in receiving the finalized 2024-25 district calendar, we are unable to create CARE registrations for the upcoming school year. We have already notified all currently enrolled CARE families about this delay and posted on our website. Once registrations become available, we will inform you and update our CARE families. In the interim, please direct any parent inquiries regarding CARE registrations to tsd-care@troy.k12.mi.us.
Dragons at the Zoo?
5th Grade Camp
Schroeder 5th grade students had a fantastic time together at Camp Copneconic in Fenton, Michigan!
Our Dragons participated in many hands-on environmental activities over the course of their three-day stay. Students rode the zip-line and a giant swing, fished, tried archery, played disc golf and human foosball, and cooked food over a fire! These are special experiences with their peers that will last a lifetime.Once A Dragon, Always A Dragon
The first-ever Schroeder Senior Clap Out was a complete success! Troy School District graduates from Troy High and IA East visited their elementary school one last time. Schroeder students lined the halls to congratulate them with cheers, claps, and high-fives. Such a wonderful way to tighten the bonds of our community. š š
