It's Summer!!!

***PARENT SURVEY*** PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO FILL OUT
This survey is an opportunity for members of our school community to provide feedback on a number of meaningful factors. For our students' families and caregivers, this includes feedback on the growth of your student, available supports, and areas for improvement.
SCHOOL COMMUNICATION
1. ParentSquare is simply communication from the school to you. It is set up similar to FaceBook where we will make posts about updates and activities happening in the district. You can use the message feature to direct message the office, teachers, or coaches! This will be a one-stop-shop and will take the place of other avenues of communication like Remind, Smores and Group Me. Download the app today to have access to school information at the touch of a button! If you have not already registered, please do so ASAP. You can do this by going to the original email they sent you or visiting http://parentsquare.com .
2. Final Forms is used as communication from you to us. Final Forms needs to be completed by you and will consist of things like emergency medical information and contacts, transportation, and physicals. You can access Final Forms from our district website (a large red checkmark.) This needs to be completed by the parent/guardian before the start of school, but the sooner the better. You can find directions on how to do this below.
TIME TO UPDATE FINAL FORMS FOR THE 2023-24 SCHOOL YEAR!

PTO NEWS FOR THE WEEK..........
As we finish the school year four of the current PTO officers will be “retiring” from their positions: Jenny Vipperman, Liz Shold, Sarah Crist and Erin Karhan. Collectively we want to say thank you for a great 2 years of your support. We look forward to your continued support as we usher in the newly elected officers for 2023-2024. We are all so thankful for the wonderful community of staff, students and families we had the opportunity to serve. Thank you!
Congrats to all our 5th graders as they graduate. GoodLuck as you move on to Middle School!
Have a great summer!

SCHOOL ABSENCES/ATTENDANCE
When a student exceeds the allotted number of unexcused hours, the district is required by law to hold a meeting with the Parent/Guardian to create an intervention plan with the purpose of improving attendance. If attendance does not improve and the student continues to accumulate unexcused absences, the district is required to file a truancy complaint in the Wayne County Juvenile Court.
