She practiced nursing for six years in Georgia, before returning to Indiana and deciding to stay home with her children. When her children began attending Liberty Elementary School, she opted to go back to work at the school since she loved the school setting. She hadn’t really planned to retire unless one of her children planned to have a baby. Her wish came true...her first grandbaby is due soon. Marge will retire from Duneland with 23 years of service.

She expressed that she has worked with several fabulous Duneland regular education teachers, and has had the privilege of working with countless amazing Jackson students. She expressed that her job changed dramatically over the years, but the support she received from principals and regular education teachers over the years was consistent. “It has been a blessing to spend so many years at Jackson and witness the changes that have happened over time. I will always remember my years at Jackson fondly and I hope everyone keeps in touch,” she said.

She is looking forward to retirement along with her husband Garry who is also retiring this year.
Her future plans include traveling, visiting family and friends, and most importantly spending more time being a ‘grandma’.

When she started at Brummitt, her class was made up of children with intellectual disabilities and has changed over the years to include many children with autism spectrum disorders. Although her training was not in autism, she was able to commandeer and succeed with the help of Brummitt faculty and staff. She is very thankful for her paraprofessional Debbie Gustafson, who is also retiring.
During her career she has mentored 11 student teachers and three first year teachers.

'Grab and Go' Meals for ALL Duneland School Students
Duneland Schools Child Nutrition and Wellness 'Grab and Go' meals are for ALL our Duneland School students.
Just as the Summer Feeding program is able to feed all children ages 18 and under, the 'Grab and Go' meal program that Duneland Schools is currently running is able to feed any Duneland School student regardless of their economic status. These meals have now been extended through July 31.
'Grab and Go' meals are distributed at Chesterton High School from 11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday through July 31. Meals consist of a lunch for the current day and breakfast for the following day; except on Thursdays when families can pick up meals for both Thursday and Friday.

Student Device Updates for DSC Families
As Duneland School Corporation (DSC) prepares a variety of instructional plans for the 2020-2021 school year and beyond, the intent of this message is to provide clarity on our current 1:1 device plan and provide insight into how DSC may transition into a sustainable long-term model over the next couple of years. This summer, students will keep their current learning device (iPad or PC) for continued use during the 2020-2021 school year (see chart at the end of this document organized by current grade level). Current filtering practices and security software will remain active over the summer.
DSC will continue to implement and expand best practices in face-to-face learning, remote learning, blended learning, and online course content development. As we move forward, DSC will be working to increase our understanding of personalized learning for students while ensuring equity for all students when it comes to accessing content, resources, and learning opportunities whether in person, remotely, or in a hybrid way.
Reliable learning devices will be crucial for our continued development and equitable access for all students. With that in mind, DSC intends to allow students to keep devices year round in 2020 and beyond. This is likely to impact family decisions on purchasing a computer for student use at home, in addition to a computer issued by DSC. While students will still be able to bring a device from home to school, they will be required to always have their DSC issued device in their possession while on campus.
Beginning with the 2020-2021 school year, DSC will include a device protection plan as part of student fees to aid families in guaranteeing needed access. This protection plan is expected to be in the $20 range depending on the device. At the end of the 2020-21 school year, devices purchased when DSC implemented the 1:1 initiative will have reached their end of life. At the beginning of the 2021-22 school year, most students will receive new tablets or PCs. Over the next year, DSC will be exploring different sustainable long-term funding models for student devices. DSC will also continue to re-examine curricular resources at all grade levels and courses to best support student achievement while keeping costs reasonable for families.
Thank you for supporting your child's learning needs now and into the future.
