Look out for the PVE December Newsletter! Here is a copy in case it doesn’t make it home!
🎅 Today PVE had our December behavior celebration where we recognized the student of the month for each grade level and Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. Bateman, and Miss Roehrich’s classes won the behavior trophies! We had a sing along of Christmas carols and everyone did a great job! We hope you all have a wonderful break and enjoy the holidays with all your family and friends! 🎄
Here are some pictures of BINGO for Books today! We had just shy of 100 winners! Another big thank you to those that make this possible for all our students! We greatly appreciate the donations of books we have received.☺️
Santa’s sleigh was breaking so we had to build him a parachute. Officer Tommy dropped them for us and the group who took the longest to fall was Aspen and Callie with a time of 2 seconds!
Thank you so much to all the families and community members that have donated books for our BINGO for Books! We appreciate your donation and giving the students at PVE an opportunity to take a journey through a story in a new book! If anyone else would like to donate, we are still taking donations as BINGO for Books will be done monthly! Again, thank you all so much for your contribution!
The future Lady Holsteins (grades 2-4) played during the halftimes this afternoon.
Please remember all your winter gear next week! It’s so cold and we want to make sure the kids stay warm!!
“HOLSTEIN HIGH-FIVE”
New Salem-Almont HS 2nd nine-weeks Holstein High-Five was filled with many first time recipients. We had 50% of our students earn a “High-Five” for the 2nd quarter of the school year. It was nice to see we had many students earn more than one “High Five”. Our school year goal of “KINDNESS” it's nice to see many students earning recognition based on our “Pride Matrix”. We are starting to see a change in our students. Helping and respecting each other is the main focus of our “Kindness” goal.
Congratulations to our 2nd Quarter winners:
Middle School: Eric Gerving
High School: Mackenzie Brandt
On a positive note, congratulations goes out to our Students of the Month: Hannah Vander Wal, Eric Gerving, John Wolff, and Morgan Stang.
Dear Families,
The New Salem-Almont School District is aware of a troubling post that has been shared widely this week on the social media platform TikTok. The post refers to a threat to school safety “for every school in the USA, even elementary,” today.
The post appears to be part of a national TikTok trend and did not originate in our school district. Two weeks ago, we held a staff development training on our crisis intervention plan and part of the discussion was if you “see something, say something” and while we do not believe the threat to be credible, we are taking additional steps to remain vigilant and keep students safe.
This situation serves as a good example of why it is important to avoid sharing posts online that refer to school safety threats. Even if they are not credible threats, they can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety for our students, families, and staff. We ask our families to monitor their children’s social media activity and speak with them about proper behavior online. Please talk to your kids and let them know that the consequences are severe, including expulsion, if they joke around about school violence or bring any type of weapon into school.
If you or your child become aware of any potential threat posted to social media or anywhere else, please notify a school staff member or trusted adult right away.
As always, thank you for your partnership as we work to ensure a safe, secure, and positive learning environment for our students.
Sincerely,
Brian Christopherson
