A Bit of March Madness Poetry from Mr. Schutte
There once was a team called Marquette
Whose shots swished through the net
Their foe was the Hillltoppers
A big bunch of belly-floppers
Who soon will be filled with regret
The coach went by the name of Shaka
His team it went boom-chaka-lakka
The fans they did roar
When they saw the game’s score
As the players ran off to their lockas
Safety Consideration
For lockdowns or any drills, please make sure you know where to go if you are in a different area of the building. If you are in the gym, the best place is away from sight of the gym doors. Please make sure you door is locked and latched.
Literacy Luau
Everyone is invited to attend a Literacy Luau at Trine University this June. A local principal group that I am part of is putting on this day of learning. You can find fliers around the building in work rooms. Please use the QR code to reserve your spot. Let me know if you are interested in presenting!
iReady Diagnostic Window Open May 1
Amy is going to open the iReady diagnostic window for end of year assessment on May 1. The idea is for us to have data sooner in order to plan instruction, etc. for next fall.
Yearbook Picture Upload Link
Each year you have the opportunity to contribute pictures to our yearbook. Please keep in mind that Mrs. Rodenbeck will have a limit, so uploading is not a guarantee that it will end up published in the yearbook. Here is the upload link:https://plicbooks.com/go/XH2PJY
