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.
If you are questioning whether your student should be attending school click here for additional guidelines.
Free and Reduced Application Information
If you have not signed up for free/reduced meals please do so! Shapiro STEM Academy is implementing the CEP program that allows students to participate in the breakfast and lunch program free of charge, without having to apply for free or reduced lunches.
Please note that while a free and reduced meal application is not necessary to participate in the free meals offered at these schools, the district still requires the application be filled out to determine if a household is eligible for other programs and benefits.
The application qualifies families for free and reduced meals but the fees will not be waived unless the Waiver Form is complete as well. The Waiver Form gives permission to share eligibility for free and reduced meals with schools to have the fees waived.
Halloween Parade
October 31st @ 2:15
We welcome families to join us for the Shapiro Halloween Parade! Students will begin exiting through the back of the building at 2:15, take the walkway down to Knapp, turn right on Knapp and proceed to the front of the building. If weather permits, students will continue to walk around the outside of the building on the grass to the back of the building and through the back door. If the grass is wet, students will enter through the front door.
A few important tips about costumes for your student:
*While students are welcome to wear costumes for the parade, students are NOT to come to school wearing their costume.
*Please be sure that your student is able to change into their costume with little-to-no difficulty.
*To promote a festive environment at Shapiro, we ask that students wear costumes that are of a non-violent nature. Please be aware that costumes may not include weapons or things that look like weapons, per school board policy 443.51. In addition, students may not wear masks at this time, if costumes or masks not suitable for our environment are worn, students will be asked to remove them.
Counselor's Corner
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.

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!
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.
