NO SCHOOL MONDAY, JANUARY 21st
There are several opportunities in the community to celebrate the day through service projects.
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Attendance matters!
Showing up for class matters! It is vitally important that our students attend school everyday because the benefits pay off in the short and long run. Students can't be exposed to engaging instruction, and enhance their social skills unless they are at school learning these skills. Research studies show that children who miss over 10 days in kindergarten and first grade often struggle to read proficiently by the end of the third grade. Let's all continue to work together to ensure that our students attend school everyday.
Respectfully,
Mrs. April Price, Principal
DEAN'S CORNER
BUS STOP & BUS SAFETY
As we enter the winter months, the bus stop can be an area of concern for safety. Please review these and help set up your child for success. Thank you!
BUS STOP
Parents: Help clear bus stop area of snow and ice. This will allow students to be on the sidewalks and not in the streets waiting for the bus!
Students:
Civility- Use kind words
Order - Wait for the bus on the sidewalk to stay safe
Respect - Leave all snow and ice on the ground. (This is not the time to play in the snow.)
Excellence- Be on time for your bus- If you can’t be on time, be early.
Thank you,
Mr. Radcliffe, Dean of Students
ISTEP+ SPRING 2018 ITEM SCORING ISSUE
The Indiana Department of Education (Department) received information recently regarding a scoring issue from ISTEP+ Spring 2018 items in English/Language Arts in Grades 4, 5, and 10. Resolution will include a thorough data validation of all grades and content areas by an external and independent research organization for the Spring 2018 assessment as a quality control step undertaken by the Department.
The Department intends to retain the higher scale score for any impacted students to hold the individual students harmless for this data issue. Additionally, the Department will reload updated data files and revisit implications for accountability determinations which may benefit schools or corporations. The independent validation may take several weeks to complete, and the Department will provide timely updates on next steps when available.

LOST AND FOUND
We currently have many personal items in the Lost and Found bins located in the school cafeteria. Please check with your child and if they are missing any clothing, jackets, lunchboxes, or other personal items, please have them check our bins.
Outside Recess
As the weather is turning colder, please keep in mind that your child is still expected to go outside for recess. Students have a 30 minute recess each day. Every student will go outside unless there are unforeseen circumstances. Our district temperature threshold is 20 degrees for going outside with the wind chill also being taken into consideration. In other words, if the temperature is 25 but the wind chill falls below 20 degrees, students would remain indoors for recess. Recess is good for students socially and physically, however there may be times where students are not feeling well. If a parent requests that their child remain indoors, they can write a letter with that request for up to 2 days. If it is longer than 2 days, a note from a doctor will be required to keep the student in from recess. Please ensure that your child is prepared to enjoy their recess by dressing them appropriately for the colder temperatures.

“No birthday treats" district policy. To access fun and helpful resources for healthy celebration ideas please visit the district wellness policy by clicking on this link.
