Principal's Post
It's been a busy week with Character Ed day, the 100th day of school celebrations, Global Playday, and Superhero day! But all of these fun days had learning activities in them so we were learning while having fun. See the photos below for the fun.
In math around the building we are learning to think through problems in different ways to build our number sense and help us have a deeper understanding of math. Second grade has taken a deep dive into understanding money and with us using cards more often to pay for things, it is a challenge for many students. Fourth graders are learning to change fractions to decimals the other way around. First graders have been learning where numbers fall on a number line and how they all fit together. No matter what grade level you go into at Shaw, we are having great math conversations!
We got a nice letter from Paws 4 Ability for our continued support of their service dog program. We love being able to help our committee and be caring citizens! Please see the letter below.
Thank you again for your continued support and partnership in your child's education.
Sincerely,
Susan Peveler

Attendance Do's and Don'ts
- DON'T forget to report an absence to the office! Call 937-429-7610, option 1 OR email shawattendance@gocreek.org. If the absence is not reported by 9:30am then our automated calling system automatically pulls the info of anyone we have not heard from yet.
- DO keep your student home until they are 24 hour symptom free, without medication.
- DON'T forget to get a doctor's note and turn it into the Shaw office when your student visits the doctor during school hours. Each student has 10 absences a school year that a parent can excuse, however if you get a doctor's note the absence does not count against the 10 you are allotted. Doctor notes should be turned in within 5 days of the absence.
- DO let us know in advance of any absences due to a vacation. The district is no longer using vacation request forms. Therefore, an email to shawattendance@gocreek.org is the best way to let us know about an upcoming vacation. The district excuses 10 vacation/out of town days per school year. Please note: parents only receive 10 days of absence that they can excuse. If all parent excused absences are used toward vacation, there will be none left to cover sick days.
