Message from Dr. Frischkorn
Hello Mayfield Intermediate School Community!
This week we completed the first quarter of the school year. It's always amazing to look back on a quarter and look at the growth of our community. This quarter is especially true. During the first quarter of the school year, we have successfully distributed over 800 devices to students, held a successful week long student orientation, embarked on distance learning as an entire school division, and continued to provide quality instruction to all our students.
We are continuously learning and adapting to make distance learning more successful. During the next quarter, we will look for ways to help support students with submitting assignments and staying up-to-date with the content. Our teachers and staff must be getting an accurate assessment of student learning. Grades are not collected to keep students busy. These grades are being used to determine if the student understands the content that is being taught. The grades are providing our teachers with valuable input.
Always Learning!
Dr. Donald Frischkorn

Student of the Month Sign Deliveries Continue
Our Library is Now Open for Drive-Through Pick-ups
Beginning Thursday, October 15, Mayfield Library will offer pick up hours for students to borrow library books from the Mayfield collection. Students may make a HOLD request through the online catalog. They may request up to 2 books, which need to be picked up on the nearest pick up day. Books from last year will have to be returned before requests can be picked up. Checked out materials will be due in 2 weeks. Pick up hours will be on Thursday afternoons from 3:00 to 4:00 PM. A librarian will be located in front of the building to accept returns and distribute requested items. October pick up dates will be: October 15, 22 and 29.
Directions on how to complete this process will be posted in Schoology on Monday.
