Student Council Visits (6th & 7th Grade)
Next week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, student council members will be coming to your period 5 class to give a brief talk about joining student council for the 2018-2019 school year. They will be in pairs for 6th grade. 7th grade it will be two or three.
We want to get our 7th and 8th grade student actively involved this summer so we are engaged and ready when our new 6th grade students arrive. Their talk will be about 2 minutes in length and then they will be on their way. Please help promote this activity and especially getting more guys involved.
Let Kathy Dvorak know if one date is better than another if you should have a conflict. If you need a specific time let me know that as well so I can have the kids plan accordingly. They are anxious to come and speak to your classrooms.

Returning Curriculum Materials
The following information was shared out earlier in the week by Jennifer.
OLL and the warehouse have put together some guidelines/procedures to follow when sending curriculum materials back to the ELSC.
- When can old or unused curriculum be sent back? Old or unused curriculum can be sent back to the ELSC during the months of October, January and April.
- Is there paper work to attach to each box? Yes, attached is the form that needs to be completed and attached to each box that is being sent back. That information needed to check items in efficiently.
- Boxes will not be picked up/transported if the form is not attached to the outside of each box.
- Can any size of box be used? No, the guideline of box size that can be used is approximately 18”L x 12”W x 12” T or smaller. This is comparable to a paper box. Larger boxes will not be accepted or picked up. Some of the boxes that have been used have been extremely difficult to move and manage.
- Who requests pickup/transfer of boxes? The responsible staff person(s) at the schools will remain responsible for requesting the transfer of curriculum materials.
These guidelines will help to facilitate smoother returns.
If you have any additional questions please contact Justin Mullan at 558-3258 or Julie Meyer at 558-1680.
