Welcome Back!

We have had a busy and productive summer this summer and are looking forward to the start of school which is right around the corner! I have some information I would like to share with you.

• Our first day of school is Wednesday, August 6th from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
  ***There will be no preschool on August 6th. Lunch will be served.
• The second day of school is Thursday, August 7th and will be a full day. Preschool will meet on Thursday.

• Our preschool will meet during the afternoon just like last year. We will have a blended class of 3-5 year old students. Ms. Rasmussen will have a paraprofessional in the classroom to assist her.

• We have hired Crystal Weaver as our Head Cook for our lunch program. We are very excited to have her working with us this year.

• We have hired Jenna Knake as our AG teacher and she will be joining us in January. Mrs. Wells and Mr. Badje will be helping with AG classes this fall.

• One change that is happening this year is that the school is charging a $20 fee for band. When reviewing handbooks, it stated that there was a fee for band, but in my three years here, we didn’t charge one. The fee will cover incidental expenses for the program such as maintenance of the instruments. There also will be a $20 deposit for use of school instruments. That deposit will be refunded with the return of the instrument in good working order. Reeds and oil for the instrument will be available for $2.00 if needed.

I look forward to the start of the school year on August 6th! See you then. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at the office.

Mr. Clear
