Mill Valley Weekly

We had our first GOLDEN AWARDS yesterday, celebrating classrooms being respectful, responsible and kind throughout our entire school. Golden Award assemblies celebrate the amazing things our classes are doing in places around our building throughout each month. Golden Awards recognize entire classrooms for demonstrating positive behaviors in areas such as the art room, lunchroom, and the bus. See the pictures of our winners below.

Beginning Monday, October 10th, we will be announcing the recipients of the Respectful Royalty Awards. Twice a month, teachers select a student who has demonstrated being respectful in the classroom. These students go above and beyond everyday and are positive role models. They truly embody what it means to be a Mill Valley Wolf. Student will receive a special crown to display on their lockers for two weeks as well as have their royalty picture posted on our Respectful Royalty bulletin board. Parents will receive an email sharing why their student was selected by their teacher.

Sincerely,

Robin Schrot, Principal

Allyce Harris, Associate Principal

Thinking Students...Changing the World!

At Mill Valley, we strive to create an atmosphere in our school that is safe and conducive to learning. No one deserves to be bullied and all students deserve to be safe. One way is by accepting differences and not being mean. Being Kind is one of our Behavior Expectations and is actively taught throughout the building. We also have bully prevention lessons that teach how to recognize, report and refuse bullying.

Although most of the research available targets students that are missing 10% of the school year, Ralph Smith, Executive Vice President of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, states "The reality is an absence is an absence, excused or not, and that child is not in that classroom benefiting from the instruction on that day.”

Parent Flier from Attendance Works

FYI - if you choose to take your child home after a field trip or school event before 2:30, the absence is recorded as a half day.

Join us on Friday, October 28th for our Halloween Parade! Families are welcome to arrive at 2:10pm and enter door 12, by the gym. Once your ID has been scanned through Raptor, our visitor system, make your way to the gym to watch the parade. The parade will begin at 2:30.

All students going home with a parent following the parade

must be signed out in their student's classroom.

Reminders about costumes:

• No scary or violent costumes

• No weapons

• No make-up or colored hair

• Please bring costumes to change into right before the parade (do not wear costumes to school)

We respectfully request that you refrain from bringing pets onto school property. Should it be necessary to bring your pet to school, please contact the building principal in advance.

If you're cleaning out your closets this fall, the health room is in need of boys pants and shirts, size 5 and up. If you have some you would like to donate, please drop them off at the office.

Absences related to COVID ISOLATION will continue to be medically excused if proper documentation is provided such as a positive COVID test or written health provider statement. Documentation may be submitted to:

• The Health Office at your student's school (see the Health Services website for contact information).

• The Muskego Norway School Health Services email at mnshs@muskegonorway.org

Submission of the COVID-19 SYMPTOM OR STATUS NOTIFICATION also provides the opportunity to upload any test results or health provider statement.

October 14th is the deadline to apply for free and reduced lunch. Please read this letter with important information and details.
