Kincheloe Elementary Weekly News

October 18, 2024

Please continue looking for this newsletter each week as we will update it with important information. We will not be sending home physical copies of the newsletter so please look for it on our website, via the text or email link sent. We also will have it on Kincheloe's Facebook page as well.

Please contact the school to update any contact information so you can stay informed.

Good attendance is a great habit!

Conferences:

Your student(s) should have received a conference form for you to request a day/time for the upcoming conferences. If you have not scheduled your conference please contact the school as soon as possible to yours scheduled. We strive for 100% participation!

Attendance Policy:

Good attendance is vital to student success. Studies show that students who are frequently absent have lower grades, lower self-esteem, and increased behavior problems. We want to help all of our students to be successful and have set up guidelines for attendance. Students are expected to be in school every day possible, but we realize that there are some reasons for absences. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to call by 9:30 am on the day of an absence when a student is absent letting us know the reason for the absence, or you will receive a call. If no call was received, the student must bring a written note from his parent or guardian stating the reason for the absence. Automatic calls will begin at 10:30. If you receive a call in error, please call the school (269-782-4464) in order for us to figure out the situation.

Please remember to keep us updated with all phone number changes so you can stay informed.

PTO:

We encourage all of our parents to be involved with our PTO.

Our next meeting will be October 21, 2024 in the library at 4:00pm.

Volunteers:

We welcome any and all suggestions and volunteers. You will need to have a volunteer form on file.

Water Bottles: Students should bring their own refillable water bottle for the school day. Please label all of your students belongings. We have filling stations in the hallways and drinking fountains in every classroom.

Staff Appreciation

Form Link

We have so many good things happening in our district throughout the year, so let's really make an effort to shout out those we see doing those good things!

Our schools and the Dowagiac District Library have come together to encourage reading. Elementary students who attend the Adventures in Bookland Club (ages 6-8) and Inkwell Explorers Book Club (ages 9-12) will receive Hero Tickets they can use at their school's Hero Store.
