MV Weekly Newsletter
January 22 - 26
What a couple of super cold days we've had! I want to start by expressing my appreciation to all of you for your patience during the pick-up and drop-off line. I understand that driving can be complicated due to the amount of snow and ice, but I am grateful to all the parents who patiently wait for their kids in the car as our teachers do their best to ensure their safe transfer to your vehicles.
I also want to extend my appreciation to all the bus drivers who have been carefully driving our kids every day. And a special thanks to our amazing crossing guard, Ms. Ruthie, who brought her own shovel this week to ensure our students' safety while crossing the street.
Finally, I want to express huge appreciation to Tess Weinheimer and the rest of the SCO members for providing an Indoor Recess Bucket full of games and activities to each of our classrooms. Thank you so much for your investment, dedication, and understanding that students need fun activities during the cold winter indoor recess.
As a reminder, all students are expected to participate in recess if the temperature is above 1°F. Please take a moment to review our weather guidelines for outdoor and indoor recess. It is important that students wear appropriate winter gear when outside, which includes winter boots, pants, coats, hats, and gloves. We had many students visit the nurse's office crying because their hands, feet, or legs were cold due to inadequate winter gear. If you need support ensuring your student has all the appropriate gear, please contact our Internal Social Worker, Claire Bergman, at cebergm@sunprairieschools.org.
Thank you so much again for trusting us with the education of your students every day.
Un abrazo

Snowshoeing and Skiing
Hello MV Families.
Next week, we will be snowshoeing and skiing outside. Since we will be moving in the snow, a jacket is required, and is recommended they bring hats, gloves, snow pants, and boots.
If you need support to make sure your student has all the appropriate gear, please contact our Internal Social Worker, Claire Bergman, at cebergm@sunprairieschools.org.
Thanks,
Mr. Fechtner
Hearing/Vision Screening
On February 2, all students in Kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th grades will have a vision screening done at school. Kindergarten students will also have a learning screening done at this time.
If you have a child in another grade that you would like us to screen, or you do not want your child screened, please call the health office at 608.478.5006.
Thank you,
Robbin Brennan, LPN

Hello MV parents/caregivers,
If your child will be absent from school OR has an appointment during the day, please call the attendance line (608.478.5000, #1). If you email your student's teacher about their absence or appointment, please include me in your email so I can get the message in a timely manner and forgo giving you a safety arrival call; or have your student in the office ready for you if you need to pick them up for an appointment. We always appreciate you letting us know in advance.
Thank you!
