Just as an FYI, we have had a number of Fifth's Disease cases in the elementary and middle school. It is a common viral infection that includes a rash. I have included some pages of information regarding Fifth's Disease if you would like in the "Live Feed" section of our website and app.

This message is to let you know that I have posted a bond update on our website under the “News” section. We are currently bidding out phase one of the bond project with ground breaking sometime this fall. Again, additional details are in the letter. Also a reminder that we continue to offer weekly meals for anyone 18 and under every Tuesday from 4:30-6:30. If you would like someone to pick up the meals for you, the person picking up the meals must have a note from you giving them permission to do so. Our last meal pickup will be August 6th.

This message is for any middle or high school student interested in athletics for the upcoming school year. The Adolescent Wellness Center located in the high school is offering athletic physicals this summer on June 17, 20 and 21. The wellness enter will bill your insurance, but if you don’t want insurance billed, they do ask for a $25 donation. The time slots for the physicals are on a first come first serve basis. You can reserve a spot by calling 231-306-4900. Athletes remember you do need a physical before the first day of practice. You can go to our website or app under the “News” section to see the flyer for additional information.

We have a summer lunch survey on our website/app under the "News" section. This survey will allow you to give input on how we run the summer lunch program. There are two different options. The first one is the traditional option, where students must come during the lunch hour to eat their lunch in the lunch room. The second option allows for us to have parents come and pick up 7 days worth of lunches one time during the week. We believe parents picking up the lunches will allow more students the opportunity to participate, but want your feedback! If you are interested in participating in the survey, the deadline is this Friday at 12:00 PM. Thank you!
