NEWS FROM DR. COOPER NEWS FROM DR. COOPER

Neihardt Families,


Next week is Red Ribbon Week and students are invited to participate in our dress up days throughout the week. They'll also have the opportunity to learn about ways to live a healthy lifestyle. Please refer to the flyer below for information.


We'd love to see everyone at Fall Family Night on Thursday. You can stop by from 5:00-6:30 to enjoy dinner from the Pancake Man for $7.00, make a fall craft and vote on our staff pumpkin contest.


Feel free to join us outside the perimeter of the school for the Halloween parade on Friday at 3:05-3:15. Students will exit the building out the front doors and proceed west on Drexel Street and proceed down 152nd and reenter the west side doors. Please note, parking will be messy that day with the increased number of people coming for the parade. Please follow all of the parameters of our regular traffic flow and bring your patience.


Enjoy the weekend,

Dr. Tara Cooper

HALLOWEEN PARADE AND COSTUME INFORMATION HALLOWEEN PARADE AND COSTUME INFORMATION

Halloween Parade and Costume Information

We will have a Halloween Parade at school Friday, October 31, from 3:05- 3:15 p.m. Parents are welcome to come watch the parade. Classroom parties will be handled by teachers and staff. The parade will take place outside. Students will exit the building out the front doors and proceed west on Drexel Street and proceed down 152nd and reenter the west side doors.


Below are our guidelines for costumes.

1. Costumes should come to school in a bag or sack with your child's name written on the outside. Children should not wear costumes to school in the morning.


2. Costumes should be age appropriate, no weapons, no fake blood. Questions about costumes may be directed to Dr. Cooper before the parade. On the day of the parade, questionable costumes will be sent to the office and phone calls made home.


3. No face makeup will be used for the school parade. It is uncomfortable and disruptive to wear all day. Students will not be allowed to put on face paint or hairspray at school.


4. We do not have enough restroom space for all students to change into their costumes in the privacy of a restroom. Students should be able to put their costume on in their classrooms.


5. Children do not have to wear costumes. Students without costumes can still

walk in the parade.


6. Parents wanting to come observe the parade are invited to do so. Please plan to arrive at 3:05 to observe the parade outside. There is no need to check in at the office.


Students will return to the classroom following the parade to gather belonging. Dismissal will follow as usual at 3:30. Parents are asked to wait outside until students are dismissed.

STAFF QUALIFICATIONS PARENT NOTICE STAFF QUALIFICATIONS PARENT NOTICE

The Every Student Succeeds Act (2015) gives parents the right to acquire information about the professional qualifications of their child’s classroom teachers. Upon request Millard Public Schools Schools will give parents the following information about their child’s classroom teacher:


  1. Whether the teacher has met State qualifications and licensing criteria for the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction.

  2. Whether the teacher is teaching under an emergency or provisional teaching certificate.

  3. The baccalaureate degree major of the teacher. You may also get information about other graduate certification or degrees held by the teacher, and the field of discipline of the certification or degree.


We will also, upon request, tell parents whether their child is being provided services by a paraprofessional and, if so, the qualifications of the paraprofessional. The request for information should be made to an administrator in your child’s school building. The information will be provided to you in a timely manner.


Finally, Millard Public Schools will give timely notice if your child has been assigned, or has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks, by a teacher who does not meet the requirements of the Act.
