The main office is open from 7-4pm daily. Students have access to the building until 3:15pm. If students need to enter between 3:15pm - 3:30pm, they must enter through the main office and be supervised, by a staff member, to walk through the building.

Included are two resources, for your review, should you have any questions. Student Handbook and po5511 Dress and Grooming. This information was part of the registration process and families signed the Expectation Booklet with these policies / practices.

- be on time (so that students do not miss important information)

- be prepared (bring all the necessary supplies to each class)

Please remind your child about this goal and reinforce the importance of being on time and ready to learn.

The state requires that schools meet a specific number of instructional minutes, per year, and study hall is included in this. The only exception for this school year, is for juniors and seniors who have opted out due to being in good academic standing and good attendance. We will be evaluating this practice at the end of this year.

• All Spring Semester ECCP applications are due no later than October 1 to either myself or Mrs. Andrews in the front office.

• I will be hosting a Financial Aid Night (FAFSA) for seniors and their families on October 24, in the band room beginning at 5:30pm. We have a guest speaker coming from Lakeland College to share her knowledge on this process.

A big shout out to all youth coaches who volunteer their time to ensure that Kohler’s youth can participate in sports. Every time I walk past a youth sports practice, the student-athletes seem to be having fun and smiling, so hats off to all of the youth coaches for making it an enjoyable experience for all participating!

The Legendary coach John Wooden said, “Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece.” This is something I try to live by every day, and it has become quite evident that many people in Kohler also live by this motto. Since my time in Kohler, many people have continued to go above and beyond to help so that Kohler School District and our athletics program can continue to be a “masterpiece.” Below are just a few people that I would like to thank and give a shout-out to for all their hard work.

• Kohler Bomber Booster Club, and everyone that has helped with working concessions.

• Kohler School Friends.

• All the parents of our student-athletes.

• Everyone who works behind the scenes, notably Ms. Andrews, who helps with managing all the paperwork and scheduling buses.

• Raven Gmach, who is Kohler’s new trainer.

• All of the coaches and people who help with the youth program.

• All of the event workers who help ensure events run smoothly.

• The bus drivers and officials.

• The facility and maintenance crews that help with event set up and take down.

• Thank you to all the parents who have stepped up to help with transportation during the nationwide bus driver shortage.

• The crowds who have been showing up to events to cheer the team on in an appropriate manner. Every game I have attended has had crowds that were welcoming to the visiting team and officials. It is always nice to hear from officials that they want to return to Kohler.

To make each day a masterpiece, you need to have multiple components to accomplish that. Everyone on the list is the reason why Kohler is known as a great place to visit and play at. I look forward to seeing all the great things our student-athletes do for the rest of the season! Thank you to everyone who helps our student-athletes.
