A Message from Our Principals
With the month of September behind us, we have established routines and protocols in this new environment. Thanks for all of your support to start strong.
As we are hitting our stride, it’s time to consider the multiple ways to learn about your child’s education. At the bottom of this newsletter, you will find agendas for each of your child’s classes, which will also link to other resources. You also have access to Infinite Campus, which will show you the assessment scores so far. We encourage you to contact teachers anytime you have a concern, as well. In addition, on October 14 and 15, we will be offering an opportunity to talk about your child’s learning with your child’s teachers. Because of the many ways that you may already be engaged in your child’s learning, please do not feel obligated to sign up for a conference. In order to support our “Stay Safe to Stay Open” work, we will be conducting conferences virtually. For more information, see the News and Announcements section of the newsletter.
Thanks for your partnership in your child’s learning, whether it’s by following agendas, checking on Infinite Campus, contacting teachers, or family conversations about learning around the dinner table.
Your principals,
Linda O’Bryan and John McEwing

Attendance
If your child will not be attending virtual learning for the day, please call the Student Services office (262) 971-1820 Ext. 7011 to report the absence. Attendance must be monitored and documented for all students, both in-person and those participating virtually. Please reference the following attendance school board policy and administrative guideline for further details/ information.
Infinite Campus Attendance Messaging
At the beginning of each month, you will receive an email from Infinite Campus detailing your student’s attendance for the current school year. All families will be receiving this email even if their child has not been absent from school. This email is intended to be a communication between school and home. If you have any questions or extenuating circumstances that impact your child’s attendance, please contact Amanda Rosman, School Social Worker at amanda.rosman@muskegonorway.org or 414-524-9117.
Appointments/Early Pick-ups for Students
Students who need to leave school during the school day must have written parental permission. Please have your student drop off the written excuse at the Student Services window first thing in the morning. By late morning, your child should stop back and a pass will be on the window ready for them. With this pass, the student can leave the classroom at the time they are to be picked up, and the office staff can avoid interrupting learning by calling into the rooms. Please do not email teachers with attendance. All attendance goes through Student Services.
