Parents,

Below you will find a link for our Leader In Me Parent survey. The data collected will help us determine our effectiveness with our Leader In Me program and how it impacts families. A similar survey will be administered to students and our staff to gain their feedback as we continually look for ways to improve. Our goal is to have at least 100 parents take the survey!

Thanks,

Dr. Bohn and Mrs. Miller

Our librarian has put listed a few websites that would be great for your child over the summer. These same websites were sent home with the students in the form of a bookmark. I encourage you to get them logged on to a few of these sites to keep the learning moving over the summer!

The student transition plan goes through five phases: listen, emphasize, connect, plan, and prepare. These phases are strategically scaffolded to help students share their feelings and thoughts, feel heard, connect with the new community of learners, plan for the next year, and prepare for the transition.

Week of March 27th: Listen/Empathize - COMPLETE

Tuesday, April 11th from 2:50-3:20PM: Connect - COMPLETE

Monday, April 24th from 2:50-3:20PM: Connect/Plan - COMPLETE

Week of May 22nd: Prepare - COMPLETE

We hope this transition plan has been successful for our students regardless of their placement next year. There have been a lot of proactive conversations and experiences through this transition program.

The Before and After School Program available to families in the Platte County R-3 School District is Y Club. With Y Club before and after school, children in kindergarten through 5th grade will benefit from homework enrichment, physical activity, and small and large group activities with a focus on building community and youth voice and leadership. Full-time and part-time Y Club is available at each of our elementary buildings (Barry, Compass, Pathfinder, and Siegrist), along with Y Club on days when school is out of session for inclement weather, seasonal breaks, and other days off (enrollment permitting). Operating hours are each weekday from 6:30 a.m. until school begins, and again after school until 6:00 p.m. Registration is now open. Click here to register.

If you have any questions about the Y Club program, please contact YMCA at (816) 360-3390.
