A LETTER FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Hello Shapiro Families,
A big thank you to all of the families who attended our Spring STEM Family Night! It is a favorite day for many of us as we watch families having fun.
The return from break marks the start of the last quarter of the school year. This time of year is when students start state and district testing. Your partnership in making sure your child(ren) go to bed early, limit their screen time especially close to bedtime, eat well-rounded meals, get to school on time and take time building up their self-esteem is crucial. All assessments are designed to assess your child(ren) on their grade level knowledge.
Thank you for your continued partnership!
Wishing you well,
Courtney Willert
APRIL GOAL
Each month our students are working towards a goal where they earn leaves for our kindness tree, when the goal is met, there is a whole school celebration. This month the goal is: I will be at a level 0 in the bathroom and in the hallways.

MESSAGE FROM THE NURSE
Sick Season is upon us! The health office would like to send a friendly reminder that if your child isn’t feeling well please keep them home to recover. Please reference the guidelines below.
As general guidelines, keep your child home from school if:
- They have a fever above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit within the past 24 hours
- They have had episodes of vomiting or diarrhea within the past 24 hours
- They have symptoms that prevent them from participating in school.
- They have an undiagnosed rash.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Nurse Shea or Kendra regarding your child’s health needs.

Students must be enrolled by September 1. While the deadline is September 1, we encourage you to complete this process as soon as possible to secure your child's spot for the next school year.
Your child’s school for the 2025-2026 school year will be listed in IC. If you have recently moved or if you were involuntarily transferred due to space limitations at your home school,
please be sure to check this as it may be different from where your child is currently attending.
This annual enrollment process is mandatory, and your student's place at their school will be reserved for the upcoming academic year. You'll update your demographic and contact information through the Infinite Campus (IC) Parent Portal.

VOLUNTEER INFORMATION
If you are looking to participate in any volunteer activities at our school (field trip chaperone, events, field day, etc.) you MUST have a background check submitted. This needs to be completed yearly. Once your form is approved, you will be set for the entire school year. The process is simple: 1) submit your background check by following THIS PROCESS 2) If an opportunity is available that you would like to volunteer at, just let your student's teacher know that you have submitted a form. From there, the office will be notified and the approval process will begin. Once your background check has been approved, your student's teacher will let you know!
BE PREPARED
Here are the District's Outdoor Temperature Guidelines:
Below 50°F: Students must wear long sleeves while outdoors.
Inclement Weather: If the playground is icy or there's heavy rain or snow, the principal or staff on duty will determine whether students should stay indoors.
Winter Attire: When playing in the snow, students must wear snow pants, boots, hats, and mittens. Those without proper attire must remain on a visible blacktop or in designated shoveled areas. A notice will be sent to all families when winter gear is no longer required.
Temperature Guidelines: the principal or staff on duty will determine whether students should stay indoors.
- 10°F or below: Stay indoors.
- Wind chill 0°F or below: Stay indoors.
In line with district policy, and due to severe allergies within our school family, we ask that all dogs remain off the school grounds, with the exception of service animals. We ask that all service animals are not in contact with our students and staff.
School safety and the wellbeing of our students and staff are our top priorities. We recently have implemented SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT. This system was created by the Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of School Safety (OSS). Speak Up Speak Out is a comprehensive, one-stop place to turn with important concerns.
Students, parents, school staff, or any community members can submit a school safety concern or threat via our website, their website (https://speakup.widoj.gov/) mobile phone application (available on their website), or toll-free number (available on their website). Staff work around-the-clock to respond to tips and to deploy a response locally by communicating directly with school administrators, law enforcement, and counselors.
