District Communication

Hello students,

I need to clarify attendance expectations from today through Friday, Oct. 30.  Your teachers will be taking attendance each day using our block schedule of Mon/Thurs hours 1 - 4 and Tues/Fri hours 5 - 8.  If your teacher expects you to be in class live using zoom or google meets and you do not attend, you will be marked absent.  If your teacher assigns videos to watch or work to complete on a day that your class meets and you do not do this, your teacher will mark you absent for that day.  This is not 6 days off from school!  If you have internet issues, please email me right away and I will help you if possible.  As always, if you have an appointment and cannot attend virtual school, a parent must call school or send an email to me.  With us being so close to the end of the first quarter, you MUST keep up with your work each day. 

 

Today is a “Day 2”.

 

There will be NO LUNCH SERVED this week. You must have a bag lunch from home. If you do not have a lunch for today, please come to the office.

 

ALL MS students will be eating lunch in the HS Cafeteria today and all next week.

 

EFFECTIVE MONDAY, OCTOBER 26TH

ALL students are required to wear a mask while at school. The ONLY exceptions permitted will be those with a medical exemption.

Students who choose not to wear a mask / face covering:

· First Warning: Teacher contact with parent(s)

· Second Warning: Principal contact with parent(s)

· Third Warning: Student moved to full time virtual instruction

 

The weight room will not be open before school or after school until further notice.

 

Fall hunting excitement is in the MS building! If you would like to share some hunting or fishing news, please check out the Game Brag Board located by the MS bathrooms. Take a blank slip from the board, fill out your info, return to the MS office along with your picture of your deer, bear, turkey, fish or other game! Good luck hunting and fishing!

 

The All-School Read at CMS this year is Wishtree. In Wishtree, we meet a variety of animal characters. We’d like to share some fun facts about these types of animals with you over the coming weeks. In the wild, a raccoon’s favorite foods on land are: fruits, seeds, nuts, bird’s eggs and plants. In cities, raccoons scavenge around garbage bins and will eat scraps of food and other trash found there. If you’ve ever been camping in Wisconsin, there’s a good chance you’ve seen raccoons at the campsites!

 

We will be starting our School $ense Lite program at Colby Middle School in November. This will be a modified savings program using a drop box at the school sites. Watch for more information coming soon! For students who are learning virtually, remember you can still save at the branch offices and get your punch card stamped to get your prizes later. We hope to see your savings balance go up and up so we can give you a huge kudos when we see you next!

Middle School students should NOT be using the vending machines in the HS cafeteria. These machines are meant for the High School students. Only plain water is allowed in the middle school.
