Update from Mr. Palmer
Hello Switzer,
Happy Holiday wishes are extended to all! Parent-teacher conferences were a tremendous success. It is great to report that our conference attendance rate was 97%! The support and communication between our parents and the school staff is vital and appreciated.
Please read below for information from our student council, PTO and co-curricular programs. Lots of accomplishments and events to celebrate this month.
Holiday recess will begin at the close of school on Wednesday, December 21st. This is a half day and we dismiss at 11:44. School resumes on Tuesday, January 3, 2023. The Switzer staff wishes everyone the happiest of holiday seasons and a safe and wonderful New Year!

Brrr…children are expected to participate in outdoor recess
Recess is an important part of the school day. It gives the children a chance to release some of their pent-up energy, and clear their minds for the remainder of the school day.
All students are expected to go out for recess, unless we have a doctor's note saying they must stay inside. This is true even during warmer months.
At Switzer, students will go out for recess whenever the wind-chill is 10 degrees or higher. We use weather.com to determine the wind-chill.
Proper clothing for outside recess is a necessity. Children should dress warmly with gloves, scarves, boots, coats and hats. Children may not remain in the classroom when their class goes out for recess, since the teachers go outside also.
Please remember we all shop at Amazon, Kohls and Target. Putting initials on glove tags, coat tags and hat tags help keep the lost and found from over flowing. The weather has been kind but Michigan weather has a funny sense of humor.
