SCHROEDER SNAPSHOTS
Oct 4 - Oct 25
From the Principal
Greetings Schroeder Families –
We appreciate your attending the conferences with your child’s Raider Time teacher and other faculty members he or she may have. Your involvement in your child’s education is most important, as is our developing a relationship with each of you.
In June 2020, Grand Forks Public Schools will be providing a referendum that will be voted on by Grand Forks citizens. The referendum will be used in determining the future of our facilities. The school board is looking for input from multiple sources, including the public’s voice. Dr. Brenner, the district’s superintendent, and the board have provided a “Thought Exchange,” an online dialogue for posting and reading. You may access the site here.
Please be reminded that there will be no school on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 17 & 18.
Also, mark your calendars for Monday, Nov. 4 when our booster club will host our annual Family Fun Night. More details will be provided in the near future.
In Raider Pride -
Chris Douthit, Principal

information for families
Schroeder Families,
Statistics consistently show that schools are among the safest places to be due to the strong commitment of educators, families, and our community to our students and schools. We strive to be proactive rather than reactive.
Despite these proactive measures, there may be times when your student struggles socially, academically, or otherwise at school. There may be a time you/your student sees, hears, or is made aware of something that causes concern. In these circumstances, we would like you to remember the phrase, “See Something, Say Something.”
Please directly contact your student’s teacher, counselor, or administrator when a school-related concern arises that requires intervention or assistance. The phone number to our school office is 746-2330.
If there is a safety concern after school hours, on the weekend, or when school is not in session (ex: holiday break, summer break), contact the Grand Forks Police Department (GFPD) at 701-787-8000. To text an anonymous tip to the GFPD, text GFPD to 847-411.
If it is an immediate concern, call 911.
Please do not use social media (ex: Facebook, Instagram, etc.) as a forum to share these concerns. Individual privacy settings may inhibit emergency responders and school administrators from seeing these messages, making them unable to assist.
We care about each of our students and work hard each day to support their needs. Thank you for your efforts in keeping our students, employees, and community safe.
Sincerely,
Chris Douthit, Principal
Behavioral Referrals
Beginning October 8th, Schroeder staff will have the option to fill out online referrals on students. Referrals are written if students are not meeting the expectations Schroeder has for our students. Referrals are what we use to track student behaviors throughout the year, both individually and as a school. Through this new online referral, you will receive a copy of it via email as long as your email is correct in PowerSchool.
Teachers will still have the ability to fill out paper forms. Many of our referrals are written and taken care of within the school day, like minor disruptions. Those referrals warrant parent contact at the teachers discretion. All "bottom line" behavior is taken care of in the office and contact will be made in all of those instances.
