Each week every classroom at Scott School has a Panther Pride drawing from all Panther Pride slips earned by students for demonstrating respectful, responsible, safe, and bucketfilling behavior.  Lucky drawing winners are invited to a Panther Pride recess at the end of each month with Mrs. Reha and Mrs. Schwarz. 

A nice way to close out the school year was a visit from the Kona Ice Truck this week.  All students were able to enjoy a frozen treat during their recess.

Second graders celebrated the end of a successful school year with a trip to Lugnuts Stadium to watch a game thanks to donations from our school-wide Fun Run fundraiser in the fall.

Third graders celebrated the end of a successful school year with a bowling trip to Royal Scot thanks to donations from our school-wide Fun Run fundraiser in the fall.

Scott School Field Day is scheduled for Tuesday, June 4th.  Third graders will participate in Field Day events in the morning, and second graders will participate in the afternoon.  

To prepare your child for Field Day, please follow these guidelines:

• Students may want to put sunscreen on prior to coming to school. They could also bring sunscreen that they would then put on themselves prior to going outside.

• Students are allowed to bring hats to wear if desired.

• Students may want an extra set of clothes because there will be a water relay.

Families who wish to visit for field day will need to follow the protocol listed below.

• Families must sign in all family members at the office.

• Families must all wear a visitor badge. 

• Families must supervise their own children and have them stay with them the entire time. Field Day and our playground is for our Scott School students only during school hours. The indoor bathrooms are for staff and students only.

• Families interested in coming to Field Day should be here during scheduled Field Day hours. They should not be here earlier or plan to stay later. They also are to remain outside.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email our PE Teacher, Ms. Brya, at:  bryas@dewittschools.net

Hey Families!  Check out this fantasitc Michigan Learning Channel resource.  What a great way to extend learning over the summer months.

Students may need reminders about using tools for problem solving and regulating their emotions over the summer months.  We encourage you to remind your child about these helpful ones.

Scott School Families,

As we approach the end of the school year, we have noticed an increase in behaviors and signs of fatigue among our students. This is a common occurrence, as children often experience a dip in stamina and motivation after a long school year. We want to provide some tips and strategies to help your child maintain their energy and finish the year on a strong note.

Key Tips for Supporting Your Child

Here are some evidence-based strategies to help your child maintain their stamina and

positive behavior as we head into the final weeks of school:

• Consistent Routine:

Ensure a regular sleep schedule. Consistent routines improve sleep and

behavior.

• Positive Reinforcement:

Recognize and celebrate your child's efforts and achievements to boost

motivation.

• Open Communication:

Encourage your child to express their feelings. Supportive communication

reduces stress.

By working together, we can help our students finish the school year strong. Implementing these strategies at home can make a significant difference in your child's stamina and behavior. Thank you for your continued support and dedication to your child's education and well-being.

Have a great end to the school year!

Sincerely,

Anna Rosalin

Dean of Students

Below are parent resources for families.  Also, the Tri-County Community Health Guide has been updated, and it can be found here.  There are multiple categories of resources for assistance or information. 

All volunteers and chaperones must be cleared before an event through our District's I-CHAT background check process every year.  This process takes a few days, so please don't delay in completing it, so your report is processed and returned to the school in a timely fashion.

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 to your child when we return to in person instruction, you 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.
