Hello families,

  • As autumn settles in and the temperatures begin to dip, we wanted to take a moment to share a few updates and reminders to help keep our school community healthy, safe, and active!

    Dressing for the Weather We believe that outdoor fresh air and daily play are essential for our students' physical and mental well-being. Unless there is extreme weather or heavy precipitation, our students go outside for recess every single day.

    With the cooler weather here, please ensure your child comes to school prepared for the outdoor elements. We recommend dressing in layers so students can adjust comfortably throughout the day. Please remember to send your child with:

    • A warm jacket or coat

    • Hats and gloves/mittens

    • Boots and snow pants (when the snow arrives!)

    Tip: Please label all jackets, hats, and gloves with your child's first and last name. Our Lost & Found fills up quickly this time of year, and labels help us return missing items to their rightful owners right away!

    Staying Healthy & Hydrated Along with cooler temperatures, this season often brings seasonal bugs. You can help us keep our classrooms healthy by reminding your children to wash their hands frequently and practice good hygiene habits. Additionally, even though it’s cooler outside, kids still get thirsty during activity. Please keep sending a refillable water bottle to school.

  • Attendance Matters!

    Regular attendance is key to a successful school year. If your child is going to be absent, please remember to call the main office as early as possible to notify us. Letting us know in advance or on the morning of the absence helps us ensure every student is accounted for and safe. You can contact Mrs. Wien 231-829-3141, option 2. Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our students healthy, safe, and ready to learn!

-Mrs. Vanderhoof

Fall Weather Fall Weather

As the cooler fall weather arrives, please make sure your child comes to school dressed appropriately for the changing temperatures. Students should bring a warm coat or jacket each day, as we will continue to go outside for recess whenever weather permits. Please make sure coats, hats, and gloves are labeled with your child's name.

We would also like to remind families to keep an eye out for head lice. Please check your child's hair regularly, especially if they are experiencing itching or irritation. To help prevent the spread of lice, please remind your child not to share hats, coats, hoodies, hair accessories, or other clothing items with friends or classmates.

If you discover head lice, please begin treatment and follow the recommended steps to remove both lice and nits.


Thank you for helping us keep our students warm, comfortable, and healthy! We appreciate your continued support! ❀️

Lunch Time Lunch Time

Lunchtime Microwave Reminder

Lunchtime goes by fast! For students who bring lunch from home, we have two microwaves available in the cafeteria.

When students bring items that need to be fully cooked rather than just quickly reheated, it cuts significantly into their eating time. For example, cup noodles or ramen take about three minutes to cook in the microwave, and by the time the line moves and the food cools down enough to safely eat, students are often left with only a few minutes to finish their meal.


To help ensure everyone gets plenty of time to eat and refuel for the afternoon, please keep prep and cooling times in mind when packing lunches. Quick-reheat items (30–60 seconds) or ready-to-eat meals work best! Thank you for helping keep our lunch periods running smoothly.
