Thinking Students...Changing the World!

Although it may seem difficult to believe, the Mill Valley Elementary journey for our fourth-graders is rapidly coming to an end. For parents/guardians, this is always a special moment. The Mill Valley Staff would like to extend their sincere congratulations to you on the special occasion. The celebration will be held outdoors on Tuesday, June 8th at Mill Valley Elementary. A rain date is scheduled for Wednesday, June 9th.

Each 4th grade teacher will have their own ceremony to be mindful of large gatherings.

**If you have twins in two separate classes, you can attend both ceremonies or communicate

with classroom teachers to have them join one class.

Ceremony times are as follows:

Mr. Papson’s class will be from 9:30-10:00am

Mr. Ernst’s class will be from 10:15-10:45am

Mrs. Bronstad’s class will be from 12:45-1:15pm

Mrs. Schaefer’s class will be from 1:30-2:00pm

Mrs. Driver’s class will be from 2:15-2:45pm

**Virtual students are invited to attend. Please contact the office at 262-971-1830.

For those parents interested in this service, parents will need to provide MNS with the following:

• Signed INFORMED CONSENT prior to sample acquisition. Copies of this document will be available at the school and online (MNS Health Services, Parent FAQ)
• Copy of Insurance Card (if insured) OR student’s social security number (required by federal law under the CARES Act)

A few considerations when determining if this service is right for your family:

• COVID-19 TESTS ARE AT NO COST
• If a student receives a negative result, they may return to school once feeling well enough
• If a student is in a quarantine and the Day 6 result is negative, they may return to school on Day 8 if all other criteria are met, and a 7-Day COVID-19 Quarantine Application for Students has been submitted and approved by MNS Health Services.

PLEASE NOTIFY MNS IF ANY STUDENT OR STAFF MEMBER EXPERIENCES THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS OR STATUS USING THIS FORM.

The more you keep MNS informed the better we can

STAYSAFE to STAYOPEN.
