New Salem-Almont School District

UPDATE: THIS IS FOR 7-12th GRADE STUDENTS Dear Parents, Starting the first week of March, we will be implementing a W.I.N. time Tuesday through Friday from 8:00-8:20 for each specific content area. Students who must attend will be given a W.I.N. slip the week prior, but it is also open to students who want extra help or need make-up work from absences. Mrs. Gilbert and Mrs. Kautzman will also be there daily for additional support so more students can succeed in their academic endeavors.  If your child receives a W.I.N slip, they will bring home a yellow carbon copy for you. It will tell you why they received it, what subject area, and what day they need to attend. In addition, you will also receive an all-call the week prior.  If students have an unexcused absence from W.I.N time, they will make it up during their lunch period. For students who have three unexcused W.I.N. times in a row, the school will notify parents, so you are aware your child has not been attending. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the W.I.N. Slip, don't hesitate to contact the teacher your child was requested by. W.I.N. Time provides students the opportunity to: • Complete assignments • Practice presentations • Study for tests & quizzes • Receive help from a teacher • Make progress on long-term assignments • Collaborate with classmates on group assignments • Reduce homework • Improve skills in a specific area W.I.N. Time will be required for students who: • Are missing/behind on work • Failing a content area • Need intervention • Teacher Discretion

PVE is once again participating in the American Heart Associations’ Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser. We will be having our fundraising event from February 3 to February 17. Our goal is to raise $2,200 so we need everyone’s help. Students will be participating in a variety of jump rope activities each day as part of their effort. Donations can be made to a participating elementary student online (heart.org/KHC), by cash, or by check payable to American Heart Association. 10% of what is earned comes back to our school as a U.S. Games gift certificate to be used to buy PVE gym equipment. Besides raising money for heart research, the AHA encourages students to live a healthy life. Parental support has been wonderful over the past few years so please consider helping out again this year. Let’s make this our best year yet.
