What a week! A simple "thank you" seems insufficient to express our gratitude for how everyone stepped up to make the learning experiences for our kids continue to happen despite being short-staffed. The pace that time moves continues to be mind-blowing, and the end of a school year always serves as a reminder of this fact. One week left to impact the kids you've been serving this year.
In Strong School Cultures, People Articulate the Following CORE Beliefs Through How They Behave:
All Students Can Learn at High Levels
All Students Will Learn Because of What We Do
Students Do Well if They Can
What WE Do Makes the Difference for the Kids in School
We Never Give Up On Kids
Resources of the Week
In the wake of horrific recent events across our country, we continue to look for ways to improve our culture and climate. We've discussed a couple of systems that we'll put into place next year: Hope Squad and the CASEL framework. Below are a couple of resources aimed for teachers and parents that are great. Go ahead and explore these resources.
Homeroom Olympics Wednesday
The last day for our 8th grade students will be on Thursday, June 2nd. On this day, the 8th graders will be taking their class field trip to Mt. Olympus in Wisconsin Dells. They plan to leave around 9:15 on this day. At 9:10, we'll ask that all students and teachers line the hallways from the ramp through the IMC, to recognize this cool moment in their life.
The 8th graders will return from their field trip around 6:00pm, and we'll have some pizzas and snacks waiting for them when they return to school. A big thank you to the PAD Parent's Club for supporting the pizza for the 8th graders on their last day of Middle School.
Last Day of School Schedule - 12:15 Dismissal
We will be running a modified schedule on Friday (6/3) and dismissing Middle and High School students at 12:15. Please let me know if you notice any conflicts for your responsibilities on this day.
Staff Meeting on Friday (12:25)
We'll meet after students are dismissed on Friday. I'll treat everyone for lunch and the district will provide an ice cream treat in the afternoon. Please share your preference for lunch by completing this FORM.
End of the Year Items for Staff
-Final 4th Quarter Grades will be due by end of the day on Tuesday (6/7). Please ensure grades are posted and comments made for report cards.
-Teacher check-out forms will be shared this week. Please review if you have any outstanding items from the IMC. We will have Friday afternoon to finalize classroom clean-up and preparation for summer.
-We'll have a couple of days with schedule adjustments this week, which can make things a little more challenging for many of our students. Please plan engaging learning activities that meet learning goals right up to the last minute of your last class with your students.
-Yearbooks are in, and each team has a plan for distribution to students that ordered a yearbook.
Retirement Open House on Wednesday
Wednesday (June 1) is the Retirement Open House to honor our folks who have retired over the last couple years. It is held in the HS IMC from 3:00 - 5:00 and is informal.
Scheduling Message to Families
The following notice was sent on Friday afternoon to families of 7th grade families about elective scheduling for next year:
Hello 7th Grade Parents,
As the 21-22 school year winds down its final week, preparation for the next school year has been well underway. I plan to meet with our 7th graders on Tuesday (5/31) in their Social Studies class to discuss elective class offerings for 8th grade students. At this meeting each student will receive a handout titled "8th Grade Scheduling Preparation" (also attached to this email). This document will be used to determine what elective class your child would like to take next year. Students will rank their class choices (1 being most wanted). In 8th grade, all students are required to take Physical Education, however, they can choose their other elective classes.
If you have any questions about this process, please do not hesitate to contact me. Have a great day.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jerry Pritzl, Poynette Middle School Principal
