IMPORTANT: All Volunteers must complete this Volunteer Form by June 16th. Volunteer Application 2022-23 - This is just the regular safety check that needs to be done to be helping at any of the Dieringer schools. I you think you already turned one in please email Tammy. Please email the form to Tammy at tsmith@dieringer.wednet.edu or drop it off at the North Tapps office.

8th Graders can purchase their laptop, charger, protective case, and bag for $20. Payments can be made between May 30th and June 14th online to the North Tapps website under the “Online Payments” tab (click here to pay online) or in the main office.

8th grade students still need to return their laptop, charger, protective case, and bag at the end of the school year with the other grades, so that the laptop can be inventoried and reformatted. All student data (files, images, videos) will be purged so that the laptop can be sold. Therefore, if students want to save any of their data, they need to save it to a thumb drive or another personal Google account before they return it.

Purchased laptops will be returned to students at school during school hours on Wednesday, June 21st.

The 4th FAI World Championships of Indoor Skydiving was held April 19-22, 2023, at the Hurricane Factory Tatralandia in Slovakia. There were competitors representing more than 25 countries! Some of the countries that his competitors were from were Hungary, France, Singapore, Australia, Israel and Brazil!

Quinn competed in the Junior Freestyle division. He placed 9th and is very proud of his flying! He had 5 rounds that he flew in the competition- 3 are freestyle, the creative side and set to music, and two rounds are compulsories with required skills that are set by the judges and judged on technical perfection.

He says the best parts of the competition were the great new friends he made from all over the world and the incredible flying that he got to see! He was able to meet and hang out with world champions and competitors that he has admired and watched for years on YouTube!

Last November, Quinn won his division at the US Nationals in Junior Freestyle and this is when they asked him to be part of the USA Worlds team.

This experience allowed him to see a beautiful new place and experience their culture as well as inspire him to keep flying & competing!

Parents, make your students’ health provider appointments for next school year NOW as clinics are booked months in advance! Some clinics have begun charging a fee to complete paperwork outside an appointment. Click on the links below to access more information and forms:

· Vaccinations – Sign up for MyIRMobile (My Immunization Record) to see if your student needs any school required immunizations and to access vaccination records.

· Medication authorization paperwork for medicine taken at school. A new form is required each school year. We also accept medication authorization forms from your child’s provider.

*MyIR link below corrected for easier printing of immunization records

Dear 6th grade families:

-Per Washington State law, all students attending 7th grade must have one dose of Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis) vaccine. Tdap vaccine must be given at or after age 10 to be accepted for school entry.

-Your child’s health care provider can print proof of vaccination for you, or you can print it from MyIR, which is a free Department of Health online tool that allows families to view and print their official immunization records themselves. Go to MyIR to register for access to your family’s records.

-Please email this proof of vaccination to Kristin Liedtke, NTMS Health Tech, at kliedtke@dieringer.wednet.edu, or bring it to school during open office hours.

-Appointments for vaccines can be made at one of the resources listed here. Make appointments early, as vaccine appointments may be full in late August and in September! Other recommended vaccines may be offered by your provider.

*If your student has a Certificate of Exemption on file for the tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis vaccine, this is still valid.

Thank you,

Terry Woodall, BSN, RN
