From the Desk of Mrs. Schumann August 15-25

Dear 8th Grade Parents and students,

Welcome Back!

I just wanted to be in touch with you before you come for Orientation Day, on August 21.  The times for this day are from 10-12 and 4-6.  First get your picture taken upstairs.  Then make your way down to the 8th grade homeroom.  Please come into the classroom, say hello and get your locker assignment. 

I will have a few items for you to pick up:

• class schedule
• Assignment Notebooks
• Ozaukee Art Fair project and check

and you can drop off:

• "Tell the Teacher More" form, Kleenex and wipes

And other things to do in the classroom

• 8th graders will be able to sign up for fall sports
• Parents can sign the back of the sports handbook

If your child has their school supplies, they may bring them and place them in their lockers.  Posted outside my door you will find a class list with the locker assignments listed.  I’m looking forward to seeing you all.

The first day of school is August 25.  It is a chapel day, so please remember to wear chapel attire.  If your child gets cold in the air conditioned rooms, remember to bring something other than a hooded sweatshirt to wear in those cold rooms. 

Panther Parents Back to School Night with Food Trucks. This is on August 27 and it starts at 4:30 and ends at 6:30.  As of Friday, I have not heard if any of you wants to sell brats and hot dogs.  Please let me know by Monday, August 18, if you are interested in this fundraiser. Thanks!

K-8 Back to School Night- Informational Important Topics:  Our Back to School night is schedule for September 2.  Parents should meet in the Family Life Center at 6:00 for the large group meeting.  Then you will be dismissed to go to your child’s homeroom teacher’s meeting.  You can choose to either go to the 6:30 or the 7:15 homeroom teacher meeting.  One of the pastors will be present to talk about confirmation class first and then I will talk about other topics.  There will also be a band meeting at 7:15 or 8:00.  (Do not mistake this night for the Panther Parents Back to school night which is Thursday, August 27.  The Panther Parents night is the one with the food trucks!)

Community Service Hours:  Did you help at VBS this year?  If so, turn your volunteer sheet into the school office or me.  Do it now!  Don’t wait until April. 

Crossing Guard Schedule- I will get an official schedule emailed to everyone, once I hear back from all the families.  Please respond to my email about whether or not your 8th grader will be helping with crossing guard duty by August 22. Thank you so very much!!   Please note that we do Crossing Guard duty week to week, not day by day.
