Superintendent Report - August 2024

August 2024

August has arrived and school starts soon. The teachers will be attending PIR days on August 13 and 14. The back to school BBQ is set for August 14 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. So plan to come to the BBQ, meet the teachers, bring your kid’s school supplies to leave in the classroom and enjoy free hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and refreshments.  It’s a great way to kick off another successful school year.

I want to welcome new staff members to the school. Katie Walter, soon to be Katie Phillips, is our new 4th grade teacher. Susan Kalanick is our new 5th grade teacher, Tara Rosipal is our new middle school social studies and science teacher and we have two new special education teachers, Jessie Marreel and Ali Hasenkrug. Welcome to our team. It is exciting to have a strong teaching staff. And last month in my report I welcomed our new principal, Kristi Kasuske, but I’ll do it once again for those that missed it. Please help to make these people’s year a great one.

There have been some changes to the school with a fresh paint job all around. You may also notice new carpet in the first grade classroom, fresh repairs to the bus parking lot, and soon you will see a new electronic message board in the same location at The Spur parking lot.  With the new message board, it will be easier to make changes so make sure to read the board as you go by it each day.  We are in the process of setting up a new, small shed which will house the pottery kiln. This will be a great addition to Mrs. Buley’s art program.

Have a great month

Mr. Dunk
