Dear Mapleview Families,

On Monday, September 25th,

we had our Fall Open

House. Despite the heat (it

was one of the hottest days

of the year), many families

attended and it was great to

see everybody. Students

were able to take parents on

a tour (both virtual and real)

of their school day. I always

enjoy when we can get our

school community together.

Last Friday, during our early

release staff development

time, teachers worked in

teams and took time to look

at how we can best collabo-

rate to meet the needs of

our students. Every student

has strengths and areas of

improvement. The more

effective we are at collabo-

rating, the better we are able

to meet the diverse needs of

our students. As with any

improvement process, we

will continue to study what

we do and adjust regularly.

At the center of our collabo-

ration is the student. We

want to do all we can to

make sure we are meeting

our students’ needs dai-

ly. Not only is it a challenge

to identify and know stu-

dents’ needs, but it is equally

as challenging to know what

is the best course of action

to help the students. This is

why daily dialogue as a team

is so critical. That daily dia-

logue, which includes sharing

information and asking ques-

tions, is what we are working

at to get better.

As you might imagine, work-

ing with a student is complex

and there are many factors

to consider. One very im-

portant factor is parent in-

put. I encourage you to stay

in contact with your child’s

teachers and help monitor

the progress your child is

making. Your input anytime

during the school year is wel-

comed. Collaboration is im-

portant, not only between

teachers, but between home

and school.

As always, should you have

any questions or concerns,

please do not hesitate to

contact me.

Yours in education,

Mr. Schultz

Wow- 120 students! What a great turnout for our Walk to School Day

2017! We met at Roosevelt Park in Kimberly and finished the walk to school

together. The goodie bags and raffles were enjoyed by the participants. How

cool it was to have joined kids from around the World as part of International

Walk to School Day. Locally, our walk was supported by the East Central WI

Regional Safe Routes To School Program. We hope to walk again in February

for the Winter Walk to School!

Immunizations

P A G E 3 V O L U M E 1 2 , I S S U E 2

If our records show that your student needs updated immunizations, you

should be getting a letter soon. Tdap is needed at the 6th grade level.

Please be sure to make the doctor’s appointment right away. These im-

munizations are due by Wisconsin law no later than October 12, 2017.

Please be sure to have the appropriate immunizations completed and re-

turn the paperwork to the school office prior to that date. If you have

any questions, please call Valerie Schroeder at 788-7910. Thank you.

Vision screening will take place the morning of October

20th for all 5th grade students and any new 6th graders to

the district. If there are any 6th grade students with vision

concerns, please let us know and they can be tested as well.

Emergency Medications: Please be

aware that emergency medications

that are provided for use during the

school day will not be accessible af-

ter school hours. Parents and stu-

dents plan ahead to have emergency

medication available during after

school activities such as clubs and

sports. If an emergency arises and a

student does not have their emer-

gency medication available, 911 will

be called.

Bus Reminder

When sending

money to school,

please make sure

envelopes are

labeled with your

child’s name and

what it is for.

Office Information

Safety Our morning drop off and afternoon pick up times are always very busy. We ask

that students be dropped off on the school side of the street, so they are not

crossing traffic. Also, to keep the traffic from backing up, please have students exit

the car once they have reached the sidewalk on the school side of the street, ra-

ther than waiting until they are directly in front of the door.

Also, it is very important to us that each visitor

check into the office during the school

day. Before entry into the school hallways, you

will asked to put on a name tag so anyone in

the building can identify you as a visitor who

belongs in the building at that time. Thank you

for your cooperation.

Chromebook

Insurance can

only be

purchased until

October 31st.

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

Please turn in the signed blue emergency card and school fees if you have not

yet done so. Also, when sending money to school, please make sure envelopes

are labeled with your child’s name and what it is for.

$30.00-School Fees

$5.00-Agenda

(Please make check payable to KASD and send in an envelope with your child’s

name.)

The final date to purchase Chromebook Insurance for your student will be on

Monday, October 31, 2017. There will be no option to purchase insurance after

this date. This is an optional fee. Chromebook Insurance only needs to be pur-

chased one time to provide coverage through the end of grade 8, so for example,

insurance purchased when your child was in 5th or 6th grade would continue to

provide coverage through 8th grade. Payments can be made on the Infinite Cam-

pus Parent Portal or by cash or check made out to KASD in the main office. If you

have questions about whether or not your student has Chromebook Insurance

coverage please call the main office at 920-788-7910 .

School Attendance A reminder to parents that all

attendance must go through the

Main Office in advance. Please

send a note with your child, call

the office at 788-7910 to speak

to a secretary, or leave a mes-

sage on our attendance line. The

office will then update your stu-

dent’s attendance in Infinite

Campus. You may inform teach-

ers if you so choose, however,

the Main Office should be the

initial contact to avoid any unex-

cused absences. You are able to

leave a message at any time out-

side of our normal office hours

(3:15 PM-7:00 AM).

Wisconsin’s school compulsory

law requires students miss no

more than ten (10) days per

school year. Once a student has

missed ten or more days of

school a doctor’s note may be

required to excuse the absence.

Students who visit the doctor

due to an extended illness in ad-

vance of the ten days are also

encouraged to send a doctor’s

note to the Main Office excusing

the absence. Absences excused

by a medical professional gener-

ally do not count toward a stu-

dent’s ten day maximum. If you

have questions regarding our at-

tendance policy or a unique cir-

cumstance, please contact Va-

lerie Schroeder, the Mapleview

Intermediate attendance secre-

tary.

We are off to a great start with our Intramural program. We have 128 runners signed up

for cross country and 86 for walking club. Our cross country meet with Woodland will

be Tuesday, October 10th @ 3:30. Notes went home with runners last week. We will

be riding the bus to the high school and will return about 5:15. Parents are encouraged to

attend. Runners may leave with their parents at the conclusion of the meet, after they

have signed out with a Mapleview coach.

Watch for girls volleyball, 5th grade art club and wrestling sign-up sheets to come home

soon! These are all excellent ways for students to socialize with others, learn new skills

and be involved in their school community. Thank you to parents and coaches for allow-

ing this to happen!

Intramurals

A note from Mr. Calmes:

If anyone has items that they would like to donate for use in my art clas-

ses, please bring them into the office. If you are not sure if I will use par-

ticular items, please contact me. I am always looking for people to donate

items from home or work.

Thank you!

Behavior

Expectations-

respect, kindness

and responsibility.

MAPLEVIEW INTERMEDIATE P.B.I.S.

“POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTIONS AND SUPPORTS”

October

Mapleview Intermediate School continues to use a unified set of school

rules based on three Mapleview Behavior Expectations- respect, kindness,

and responsibility. These school rules will be reinforced and consistent

throughout all school environments including hallways, playground, lunch-

room, bathrooms, and the classroom. You will see these expectations

posted throughout the school in those specific areas. All of our teachers

have posted a behavioral matrix in their classroom. Each teacher’s behav-

ioral matrix defines specifically what the behavior expectations are in their

classroom setting.

Mapleview Bobcash is awarded to those students who are dis-

playing how to be kind, respectful and responsible during the

school day. Our 5th grade students receive neon green Bobcash,

and our 6th grade students receive yellow Bobcash. We use dif-

ferent colored Bobcash for each grade so that we can keep track

of how many students from each grade level has been rewarded

with Bobcash. The students will place their Bobcash in the Bob-

cash drum so they have a chance to be selected for prizes every

week. Once the drum has been filled to a certain level the fifth

and sixth grade students will earn a school wide incentive, such

as: popcorn and movie day. During weekly video announcements

Bobcash will be picked from the drum, and those students will

earn a prize. Bobcash helps reinforce positive behavior in our school every

day, and here is several of our students that were recently selected. We

have also started a brand new acknowledgement system

called: “MAPLEVIEW KIND KID”

for those students who always are

doing the right thing but maybe are

not recognized for their consistent

behavior. We will also will highlight

students throughout the year on our

video boards in the lunchroom.

Keep up

the great

work in

October!

Fifth grade guidance has been building off of the team building field trip all fifth graders

went on a couple of weeks ago. We are reflecting on what each of our roles are as an

individual and how it relates to the “big picture” of being part of a team/class. We ex-

amine our own strengths and weaknesses and think about ways to continuously im-

prove our relationships with others. A new strategy that fifth graders are learning

about is called SORT. SORT is a way to help teach students to manage minor conflicts

they have with classmates and

friends. Each fifth grader will receive

a copy of the SORT poster (see

graphic) to bring home. SORT helps

students to start calm, openly ex-

plain what happened and how they

feel about it, retell what they heard

the other person say, and then seek out a solution that will please all par-

ties. Please ask your child about it

and how it works!

Sixth graders will be beginning their

career unit of guidance later this

month. The focus at the 5th and 6th grade level is EXPLORATION. Students explore

career clusters and how their strengths and interests relate to the various clus-

ters. Students will also prepare for their iChat groups by completing an interest inven-

tory and talking about Skills for Success (i.e. organization, problem solving, communica-

tion, teamwork, etc.). iChat groups will be held twice per year and are part of a stu-

dent’s ACP (Academic and Career Plan). More information about the iChat group will

be shared next month and throughout the year. Students will be using the Career

Cruising website to update their Plan each year until they graduate. You should have

received a letter which gave you a parent access code to view their Plan in Career

Cruising. As you recall, an email was sent recently indicating the initial parent letter

had a technical error. New letters have been printed and mailed. If you did not receive

a second letter with a working code or have any other troubles with access, please

contact me at school at 788-7910 or through email KDietzler@kimberly.k12.wi.us.
