Dowdall Elementary School
January 2019
Dear Dowdall Families,
Here at Dowdall January means monitoring student mid-year progress and changing and tweaking academic programming as needed to meet the needs of students. Report cards and updated STAR reports will be coming home January 25 reflecting the latest academic progress of your child. As always if you have questions as to the progress you child is making, feel free to call and speak to your child's teacher.
We will hold another round of Parent/Teacher confernces coming up in February on the 20th and 21st, if you don't yet have an appointment I strongly encourage you to call and make one. You can call Lisa in the office at 591-2274 or schedule with your child's classroom teacher.
Here's to a mild winter and a great 2019!
Mrs. Fisher
NATIONAL SCHOOL BOARD APPRECIATION MONTH
During January, schools across the country celebrated
National School Board Appreciation Month. In Kearsley, our Board strives to pay special attention to each school by having each Board member “adopt” a school for the year.
The Dowdall staff and I appreciate all the time and effort every School Board Member puts into making Kearsley Schools the best we can be!
Come out and help honor all of our School Board members on Monday, January 14 at 7pm as Dowdall hosts the monthly meeting.

Adding money to lunch accounts using Pay For It
Do you need to make a lunch payment, pay a registration fee, tuition or athletic fee? If so, please visit
PayForIt.net. There is a link under the Parents tab on the Kearsley website.
Once you get an account set up with PayForIt.net you can:
· Set up recurring payments
· Deposit money into it 24 hours a day, seven days a week
· Set an email reminder to notify you when the balance gets too low
· Check the balance
To create an account, you will need a valid email address and credit card. You will also need to know your child(ren)’s student ID number. All children can be set up on the same account. * If the ID number begins with leading 0’s then you will need to drop the leading 0’s when adding children to your account.
What if we had a Snow Day?
Please watch Channel 12 or listen to radio station 108 FM for school closing
information.
In addition district phone calls will be made to your main phone number in our system, so please be sure to keep your number updated.
Dressing for the weather
To assure students are safe and comfortable during the winter months, please make sure your child is wearing a coat, gloves and hat at a minimum.
Students need to have boots and snowpants to travel off of the blacktopped areas of the playground as well.
