Wildcat Weekly Update-Week of April 7th

Good Evening Wildcat Families,

We hope everyone had a safe and fun spring break. Last week was National Assistant Principal’s week and National School Librarian’s Day on April 4th.   Since we were out of school we will celebrate Mrs. Kutzer and Mrs. Limer this week.  Please be sure to let them know how much you appreciate them!  

We are looking forward to seeing all of our students back at school on Monday, April 8th. Remember all students should be in class by 7:50.  We are now into the last nine weeks of the school year and we are working on reaching our attendance goal of 95%.

The upcoming partial solar eclipse on Monday, April 8th provides an exciting learning opportunity. However, looking directly at the eclipsed sun can cause permanent eye damage and vision loss. All schools will operate on a normal dismissal schedule, though some students may still be in transit during peak eclipse times. Our bus drivers have received safety instructions.

We urge all families and students to not view the eclipse without proper protective eye-wear certified for safe solar viewing. The only safe methods are through approved eclipse glasses or pinhole projectors. Regular sunglasses or binoculars are unsafe. If students are at home, ensure they use protection or indirect viewing. Even briefly looking at the eclipsed sun risks irreversible eye damage.

Student safety is our top priority during this event. Though schedule changes cannot be accommodated, please reinforce eclipse eye safety practices with your children. Refer to https://bit.ly/eclipsefaq for more guidance, including links to a live-stream opportunity.

April is also Autism Awareness so please join us in showing your support by wearing blue each Wednesday in April.  On Wednesday, report cards will be emailed to parents.  Please be sure you have an updated email address on file.  

Please use the absentee note button on our school website to submit a note any time that your child is absent.  You should upload the excuse note within three days of your child’s absence.   

Please be sure to monitor your child’s lunch balance and pay off any outstanding balances. You can fill out the free and reduced lunch form online at https://www.lunchapplication.com/  to see if your child qualifies for a reduced amount. 

We have a limited number of yearbooks remaining for sale.  You can purchase them online at yearbookforever.com

Looking ahead to next week:
