Dear Scott School Families,

Our last big on site experience will be Field Day the last week of school  Please read further down in this newsletter about guidelines to help your child have a successful Field Day experience and protocols to follow if you or any adult family member plans to attend to watch on this special day.  It is important to adhere to the visitor guidelines for they help us put on and maintain a safe school environment.  

It has been a pleasure to serve students, families, and staff this year, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to continue to serve as Scott School principal for the 2025-26 school year.  To our families moving on to Herbison Woods, good luck to you.  I will miss your child and family.  To our families returning to Scott, have a great summer.  I will see you in the fall, and we can start a new chapter in the history books of Scott School.  Thank you all for your support and trusting me and our team with your student.  It has truly been a joy and a gift.

With gratitude,

Linda Reha

Scott School Principal

Please check the Lost & Found table in our vestibule to discover items you and your child have been searching for so you can reunite with them.  Any unclaimed items will be donated after Tuesday, June 9th.

In addition, if your child has medication in our office, please be sure to pick it up.  All medication left after 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 9th will be properly disposed of.

Also, there is a 'Free Table' of items located in our vestibule that families are welcome to adopt.  The next time you're in the building, take a gander of what's there, and considering rehoming items.  We'd love these things to continue to be used.

Student safety is a priority.  Please bring proper identification each time your child is picked up from school.  Here are some ways adults picking up students can be identified:

• Physical ID (ie. driver's license)

• Personal ID by office staff

• Other identification proof such as utility bills or other statements, credit card, etc., AND answer personal information that we have in Infinite Campus (ie. phone number, child's birthdate, etc.)

There are some Scott students who have health-threatening nut allergies in our building.  Scott School is a 'No Nut' building.  Pack items that do not contain nuts for your child's lunch and snack.  It is critically important that we provide a safe learning environment for all students, and your help with this is needed and appreciated.  Please always contact your child's teacher if you have a concern about an allergy or other health condition related to your child that they should be aware of.  Also, if your child has a medical need, including food or other allergies, don't forget to update your child's Medical Management Plan by completing and submitting the district forms to the office before school starts so we can follow protocols to keep your child safe.

In order for Scott School personnel to administer medication (including cough drops) to your child, a parent guardian must:

• Submit a completed district medication form to our office. 

• Be sure all medications are brought to and stored in our office. 

• Be sure prescription medication is in its original container accompanied with a physician’s signature. 

• Be sure non-prescription medication is in its original container accompanied by a parent’s signature. 

• Please communicate with your child's teacher if he/she takes medication daily at school. 

• If your child has a medical condition, please be sure to complete a Medical Management Plan for your child and turn it in at the office.

Medication and other medical forms can be found on our DeWitt Public Schools website.

Our school social worker, Mrs. Schwarz, is always willing to assist students and families in any way possible.  In addition to working closely with your child's teacher, consider reaching out to her if you have questions or need support.  She is truly amazing at what she does!  She can be reached at 517-668-3446 or schwarzdea@dewittschools.net.
