Dear Parent/Guardian:
In a few short weeks, the 2024-2025 school year will be upon us. I am excited and eager to have students and staff back in the building. I will share a little of our back-to-school plan - but please do not let that change your focus away from summer relaxation and rejuvenation, school will be here soon enough.
In preparation for the school year, we will be hosting an open house and online registration on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, from 4:00 - 6:00. Please plan to join us for a community dinner beginning at 4:30, meet the new staff, and prepare for the first day of school. Clearmont Community Church will have backpacks full of school supplies available for all K-6 students, please remember to thank the church for their generous donation. If you are inclined, bring a lawn chair and some yard games and enjoy the evening with friends.
We would like to recommend that all parents complete the online registration from home, if possible, by logging into the PowerSchool student/parent portal at (https://ps.shr3.k12.wy.us/public/) and clicking on the arrow to the right of the “Click Here”, choose school forms to update or register your student. Please remember that you will need to update forms for each child.
In addition to the online registration, we are having you complete a new 24-25 emergency/medical contact sheet for each child registered. These forms will be kept in the SCSD#3 Emergency Evacuation Binder.
Additionally, there will be an activities participation meeting for all students and parents planning to participate in any activities this year on the night of the 13th from 6:00-7:00.
Please contact the school at your earliest convenience if you will not be able to attend the open house on the 13th or if you have questions or concerns regarding registering your student online.
Teachers will continue to improve within our instructional framework. This year a focus point will be the use of text in the classroom. Teachers will train on identifying and using appropriately complex text to begin the year. At home, it is likely that students will have reading to complete.
For 7-12 students, when work is not completed, we will contact you so that your student may stay for our extended day to complete the missing or late work. This will provide them with a supported study hall environment and assist with the completion of the missing assignments and any from the current day.
There are some changes to the bus routes this year - please take a look at the bus schedule and contact us with any questions.
Enclosures included with this letter:
Emergency/Medical Contact Sheet (one per student)
