Mrs. Gerzen
Wow, the last month has gone by in a blur especially with MAP testing! Thank you for sharing your children with us! It will be bittersweet as we have to say goodbye to our fifth graders and other students that may be leaving our school at the end of May.
We have several field trips coming up this month. Please remember that school policy states that field trips are for the children in the classrooms; please do not bring siblings (older or younger) on field trips. We welcome parents on field trips and want you to be able to spend that time with your child and his/her friends. Thank you for understanding!
2019-2020 Staffing
Here is the staff layout for next year: Lottie Creasy and Bobbi McCormack will be teaching kindergarten. First Grade teachers will be Stacey Peters and Shayla Roop. Second Grade teachers will be Lynnea Hufendiek and Annie Weber. Third Grade teachers will be Trish Redig and Kelsey Monroe. Fourth Grade teachers will be Brent Wade and Suzanne Lenz. Fifth Grade teachers will be Allison Chostner and Sheri Stewart.
LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!
The last day for classroom instruction will be Friday, May 24, dismissing at 2:40pm. Progress reports will be sent home at the end of the day. 5th Grade Promotion will be at 1:30 in the gym. The 5th Grade walk will be at 2:30 and then the 5th Graders will leave for their end of year party.
The last day of school will be Tuesday, May 28, dismissing at 12:10pm. If your child is absent on this day, they will be excused. Please email Cindy (ccroy@cpsk12.org) or Laurie (lholt@cpsk12.org) or call the office at 573-214-3540 to let us know that your child will not be at school. We will not be calling parents on this day to check on your child.
If your child is not coming to school on May 24 or May 28, you will need to bring a LARGE, STAMPED SELF ADDRESSED ENVELOPE to your teacher. We will mail your child’s progress report to you. In your child’s progress report envelope you will find a school calendar for 2019-2020, a Meet the Teacher flyer, and a supply list for next year.
LOST & FOUND: Please check out the lost and found in the hallway of chairs. Also, we have smaller items, such as jewelry, eyeglasses, etc. in the office. Any unclaimed items will be donated to charity on May 29th. Parents, if you have dishes you have sent to school and are still missing ~ they may be on a cart in the Bookroom. We will be donating these on May 29th, also.
Please remember the building will be closed down during the summer. They will be doing brick work, replacing flooring, putting in a new entrance and painting. Lots going on before we start back in August!
Thank you for all of the support, volunteering, and cooperation you give to us every year. Midway Heights has a great reputation in the district because of its families! Have a great summer! We’ll see some of you at Paxton for Summer School June 3-27th.
