Spring Mills Shark Nation Notes

May 29th - Memorial Day - No school for students

June 2nd -- Field Day

June 7th - Rain Date for Field Day

June 14th - Last Day of School - 1/2 day for students

I hope that you are able to rest, relax and recharge this holiday weekend! The weather looks great - hopefully our first taste of summer sun!

Just a reminder - we have our early dismissal protocol listed below. However, there has been a significant increase in the amount of early sign outs. I understand that there are lots of spring activities, but our kids' learning happens bell-to-bell, and it's important that students are in school for the full day as the norm. Please help support learning by avoiding early sign-outs when possible.

We are excited to bring back our Field Day this week! Mrs. Brower has a day of fun planned for our Sharks! Thank you to all who are volunteering to make this day possible - we can't do these things without your support!

Best wishes for a safe holiday weekend,

Sarah Bentley, SM Principal

If you must sign your child out early we request that you do so prior to 3:30pm to avoid the end of day pack up and dismissal procedures.

Protocol for picking your student(s) up early:

You do not need to notify or call the office in advance. Students are called to the office after their parent/guardian arrives. Please enter the front vestibule of the school and press the call button into the office. We will then call your child from class and have you sign them out. Please share this protocol with any of your Emergency Contacts that may be picking up your children.

HVS SAFETY AND SECURITY

For the safety of our students, Huron Valley Schools have a firm expectation when it comes to identifying the visitors we have inside the buildings. When you are coming in the building during instruction hours, you must show your ID and state the reason for your visit. Even if we have seen you several times and even if we know you very well, we are still required to ask you for your ID. We ask that you PLEASE be prepared with your identification each and every time you come in to the building during school hours. Please share this expectation with anyone on your student's emergency contact list. We truly appreciate your support of these requirements.

You can call our 24-HOUR ATTENDANCE LINE AT 248-684-8086 for all attendance related calls. Please state your child's first and last name and reason for absence.

Attendance is an important component in a student’s education. If we do not hear from you regarding your student's absence, it is our policy to call to verify your student’s absence.

ILLNESS

Please do not send your child back to school until they have been vomit-free, diarrhea-free, or fever-free for 24 hours.

EXTENDED ABSENCES AND VACATIONS

If your child(ren) will be absent for an extended period of time, please make sure to complete a pre-arranged absence form available from the office or on our website under Parent Resources.

Together We Can, Together We Will!
