Family Weekly Update - Week 10

Dear Randall Families,

As the weather quickly gets colder, we ask for your partnership to ensure that students come to school with appropriate cold weather attire. Please reference the Cold Weather Guidance poster below. While primarily intended for grade 4k - 5th, our middle school students also must have a jacket (having lived in the middle school / high school world for many years, I understand that 6th - 8th grade students will only want a sweatshirt; parents - I have your back! I will reinforce with 6th - 8th grade students as winter approaches that they must have a jacket.)

Volunteering

We deeply appreciate all of our parent and guardian volunteers who give their time to support our students, classrooms, and school events! To help us maintain a safe environment for every student and ensure compliance with new Wisconsin state legislation (Act 89), we have updated our volunteer approval process for this school year:

1. Background Check: As in previous years, all volunteers must have an approved background check through our Raptor security system.

2. DPI's Act 89 Training: In addition to the Raptor background check, parents and guardians wishing to volunteer are now required to complete the Department of Public Instruction’s (DPI) Act 89 Training. This is a 20-minute online module focused on recognizing and preventing grooming and boundary violations.

Submitting Your Certificate: Once you complete the online training, please email your certificate of completion to our Pupil Services Director, Morgan Moczynski, at mmoczynski@randall.k12.wi.us.Thank you for your cooperation and continued partnership as we work together to keep our students safe and adhere to state guidelines. If you have any questions regarding the new training or the volunteer application process, please feel free to reach out to Mrs. Moczynski at mmoczynski@randall.k12.wi.us or 262-537-2211 x1308 or check out our volunteering webpage on our Randall Website.

Thank you,

Ms. Garcia

Our annual Stuff the Bus Food Drive is officially around the corner, running from October 19th through November 12th! This year, we are turning the drive into a friendly weekly competition to see which classroom can bring in the most donations.

Randall School is pleased to announce the launch of the SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT confidential tipline as part of our school safety efforts. Tiplines are used to identify threats to schools, and for concerns impacting school age youth such as bullying, drug use, suicidal thoughts and more. Schools that promote and use tiplines have less violence overall. The SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT (SUSO) tipline is run by the Wisconsin Department of Justice’s Office of School Safety. Parents and students, this tool is available for anyone to use to help keep the Randall Community safe!

Randall students will engage in learning about how to advocate for their own (and others') safety and well-being over the next month in partnership with our counselor, Mrs. Roth, as well as other members of our student services team. We encourage you to speak with your child about the importance of communicating when/if they feel that their safety may be compromised.

Here is a LINK to an informational flyer about Speak Up Speak Out.

Thank you in advance for all of your support!
