Dear Mapleview Families,

It is hard to believe we only

have one month of school

left. This year, like most, has

flown by. Meet the teacher

day seems like it was just yes-

terday.

This week is Staff Appreciation

Week. I hope you get a

chance to say thank you to the

adults that mean so much to

your children at Mapleview. I

have found this staff to be very

professional and caring, as well

as, very skillful. I am very

proud to say I am part of the

Mapleview staff.

The end of the year is full of

celebration and reflec-

tion. Over the next week or

so, the students will take their

final Measure of Academic

Progress (MAP) tests in read-

ing and math. We use these

test to measure growth from

the beginning of the year to

the end. We look forward to

seeing each student’s progress

and sharing it with the stu-

dents. The results are also

mailed to parents.

To celebrate the end of the

school year and transition to

next year, we have a few

things in the works. On June

7th, the entire school will have

their final behavioral incentive

celebration. Specifics will be

announced the week be-

fore. June 6th we will have

our 6th Grade Picnic. A time

for sixth graders and their

teachers to have some fun

together before the year

ends. Finally, during the after-

noon of June 8th, we will have

different activities planned for

all of our students to cele-

brate the end of the

year. We will also have a

brief all school assembly to

wrap up the year, send the

sixth graders on and say good-

bye to the 5th graders for the

summer. More details to

come as we got closer to the

last week.

Speaking of those sixth grad-

ers and their families, I want

to extend a special thank

you. The Mapleview staff will

miss them and the gifts they

shared with us during their

two years. We know that

they will be very successful in

the near future at JRG and

beyond that. They might

transform into Gators, but

they will always be Bobcats to

us!

As I begin to reflect on this

school year, I believe it has

been very successful. While

each year has it’s challenges,

the positive far outweigh

them. We have great kids,

parents, and staff. For that, I

am very thankful.

Even though we are thinking

of the end of the year activi-

ties, we still have several

weeks of school and time to

continue to grow and im-

prove. We appreciate your

efforts to support your child

and the school all year

round! As always, if you have

any questions or concerns, do

not hesitate to contact me.

Yours in education,

Mr. Schultz

Class Placement 2017-2018 School

M A P L E V I E W I N T E R M E D I A T E

As this school year comes to a close, students’ and parents’ thoughts

turn to the summer and to the upcoming school year. One thought

students wonder about is their classroom assignment for the next

year.

We, as staff members, will continue our efforts to maximize the

learning potential of each student by balancing student/teacher ratios,

maintaining gender balance, grouping students heterogeneously, and

avoiding potential student conflicts as we assign students to classes.

Parents will be notified by mail of their child’s classroom assignment

by the first week of August.

We ask that you do not request a specific teacher. After notification

concerning your child’s teacher for 2017-2018, a procedure will be

outlined for you to request a change in placement.

We thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation so

we can make classroom assignments with the most current enroll-

ment numbers possible before the start of the school year.

Safety

As the weather turns nicer and more students begin to walk

and ride bikes to school, remember to take extra precaution

in school zones. If your child rides a bike to school, please

make sure they lock up the bike to keep it from getting stolen.

Notes from the Health Office

M A P L E V I

Sunscreen Application

Just a reminder that it is the district’s guidelines that we do not pro-

vide, or allow students to share or use another person’s, sunscreen,

lip balm, lotion, etc. due to the potential for allergic reaction to the

active ingredients in these products. We encourage parents to apply

sunscreen, especially on field trip days, at home prior to sending their

child to school. If sunscreen needs to be reapplied, each student should

have their own.

Attention Parents of Children entering

6th Grade in 2017-2018

If your child will be entering sixth grade next school year, he/she

needs to be up-to-date on the vaccinations for Tdap and Varicella. If

our records show that your child needs to have further immuniza-

tions to comply with Wisconsin Law, you would have received a let-

ter from the school. Please bring this information to your child's

next doctor's appointment.

Always remember to notify the school office of all vaccines that your

child has had. We are required to supply this information to the

state each year. Call Valerie Schroeder at 788-7910 with all new

vaccine information

Health Forms

If your child is diagnosed with asthma, diabetes, seizures, bee stings or

food allergies over the summer, you will find the proper Health forms for

these issues online at www.kimberly.k12.wi.us. They all require a Doc-

tor’s signature. Also available on the website is a form, Request For Giving

Medication At School, which you can print at your convenience.

School Attendance

P A G E 5

Please call the school office at

788-7910 as early as possible

and provide us with the stu-

dent’s name, homeroom teach-

er, and reason for absence. You

may leave a message at any time

outside our normal office hours

(7:00 AM—3:15 PM). All attend-

ance must be communicated to

the main office, and not to

teachers or other staff. Students

may be excused by a parent or

guardian for up to 10 days due

to illness, appointments, or oth-

er family circumstances. After

that, absences will be consid-

ered unexcused unless medically

excused. Appointments (doctor,

dentist, orthodontist, etc.) will

be marked in Infinite Campus as

E, indicating a parent excused

absence. If a note from the ap-

pointment is provided to the

office upon returning to school,

the attendance code will be up-

dated to M, indicating that the

absence was for an excused ap-

pointment, and is no longer in-

cluded in the 10-day limit. In

short, if your student is sick and

goes to the doctor for evalua-

tion, or attends an appointment

of any sort, please request a

note indicating their presence

that day and provide the note to

the Main Office.

Please be aware that emergency

medications that are provided

for use during the school day

will not be accessible after

school hours. Parents and stu-

dents plan ahead to have emer-

gency medication available dur-

ing after school activities such as

clubs and sports. If an emergen-

cy arises and a student does not

have their emergency medica-

tion available, 911 will be called.

A note from Mr. Calmes:

If anyone has items that they would like to donate for use in his art classes, please

bring them into the office. If you are not sure if I will use particular items, please

contact me. I am always looking for people to donate items from home or work.

Thank you!

Congratulations to KASD Music Programs The Kimberly Area School

District has been honored with the Best Communities for Music Ed-

ucation designation of the NAMM Foundation for its outstanding

commitment to music education. KASD is one of 4% of districts

across the nation receiving the prestigious award in 2017. The Best

Communities for Music Education designation is awarded to districts

that demonstrate outstanding achievement in efforts to provide mu-

sic access and education to all students. To qualify for the Best Com-

munities designation, KASD answered detailed questions about fund-

ing, graduation requirements, music class participation, instruction

time, facilities, support for the music program, and community music-

making programs. Responses were verified with school officials and

reviewed by The Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas.

In an effort to recognize students who are going above and beyond what is expected of

them at Mapleview Intermediate, “Faces in the Crowd” has been established. Once a month

students are nominated by their classroom or specials teachers and one student will be

chosen from each class throughout the school year.

May’s “Faces in the Crowd” are: Fiona Bosetski, nominated by Mr. Appleton; Mae McCarty,

nominated by Mrs. Carpenter; Dominik Dempsey nominated by Mr. Fitzgerald; and Brettyn

Hesler , nominated by Mr. Schultz.

“POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTIONS AND SUPPORTS” May  

  Our school year has gone fast, and we are into May already! It is very important that we stress positive behavior with our students in the days ahead. Throughout the school year, we have rewarded the students who have followed the expectations of how to be kind, respectful and responsible. The students should be practicing the behaviors they have learned here at school with you at home. By being consistent with expectations at school as well as at home the students will come back in September ready to be a positive member of their school (whether it is here at Mapleview or J.RG.). Remember that you are your student's first and most important role model. Congratulations to all of those students for following the Bobcat expectations throughout the month of April…Keep up the great work in May!

April 19, 2017 Josh Heisler Mapleview Intermediate 125 E Kimberly Ave Kimberly, WI 54136 Dear Josh Heisler: On behalf of the American Heart Association and the millions of Americans we serve, thank you very much for your school's donation of *$3,734.55. Families and schools are critical links in providing the foundation for cardiovascular wellness in our country. By holding this event at your school each year, you raise awareness about heart-healthy living. And you help us fund more life-saving scientific research and critically needed education efforts. Thank you. Almost every family in America is touched by heart disease or stroke, and your school's contribu-tion will significantly impact our fight against these devastating illnesses. We hope that you, your faculty and your students found this lifesaving effort rewarding and enjoy-able. You are touching so many lives — and life is why we exist as an organization. Your help and support are greatly appreciated, and we look forward to partnering again with you next year! Warm regards, Nancy Brown Chief Executive Officer, American Heart Association

Kendra Ryan When Kendra was 15 months old she got sick with a high fever. The lymph nodes in her neck were swollen so severely that she could not turn her head from side to side. Kendra was diagnosed with Kawasaki Disease, a serious illness characterized by inflammation of blood vessels throughout the body that primarily affects young chil-dren and infants. It is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children. Without treatment, about 25% of children develop heart disease involving the coronary arteries. Luckily Kendra was treated early and had no significant damage to her heart.

A Thank You From the American Heart Association
