Wolverine Weekly September 3
Service Animal
From time to time, a substitute staff member who is accompanied by a trained service dog may be working in our building. We want to make families aware so that we can appropriately support any students who may have allergies or other sensitivities to dogs.
Please take a moment to make sure your child’s allergy and health information is up to date in Infinite Campus. Students who have been documented in IC as having an allergy will receive a follow-up email from our school nurse.
Whenever the substitute and service dog are working in a classroom, a sign will be posted outside the classroom to let students and staff know that a service animal is present.
A Reminder About Service Animals:
Service animals are working animals. Please remind your child not to pet, call to, feed, or distract a service animal unless given permission by its handler.

The purpose of the SAC is to provide accountability in an advisory capacity by informing, encouraging, and providing opportunities for parent and community stakeholders to be involved in the planning and evaluation of the school’s instructional program and quality improvement processes. The SAC makes recommendations concerning the school’s budget, performance/improvement plan, and meets at least quarterly to discuss implementation of the school’s plan and other progress pertinent to the school’s accreditation contract with the Board of Education. Final decision-making authority rests with the principal or other person or group receiving the recommendation from the SAC (e.g., the Superintendent, District Accountability Committee (“DAC”), or Board of Education).
Voting members include parents, a community representative, teachers, and the principal. Next school year, 2026-2027, we will be in need of Parent Representatives. Please consider supporting our school by being on this committee. All are welcome to attend, even if you are not a voting member.
More information may be found on our website.
Please complete the Google Form if you are interested.
