Dear Molly Stark Families,
We hope everyone is safe and warm after Winter Storm Landon. We are thankful for those people who are working non-stop to keep our roads and walkways safe.
This is a reminder No School, Monday, February 7th. This is an in-service day for our staff.
Reminders:
- Winter clothing for outdoor time- Our Social Worker, Lisa Halkias, can support families who may need some items.
- Reach out to our School Nurse, Julie Senecal with any health-related questions or concerns.
- Attendance- We continue to send home attendance letters and the SVSU attendance policy. We understand due to Covid-19 there may be more excused absences. If this is the case you will need to contact our school nurse and provide a Physician's notes/recommendations so we can include this in our attendance information. Lisa Halikias our school Social Worker will reach out to families to schedule an attendance meeting with your child's classroom teacher to work together to ensure your child is attending school. If you do not agree to attend this meeting and develop an action plan with the school to keep your student in school then-
Policy #5030 Page 3 of 6 -15 days absent
After 15 cumulative unexcused absences during any school year and if youth continues to be truant & will not work with Family Intervention team:
- An affidavit will be written and sent to the State’s Attorney. A petition will be filed by the school administrator to the State’s Attorney.
- If a judge finds probable cause, a preliminary hearing will be held no later than 15 days from the date of affidavit.
Our intention is to be proactive to support our families with any barriers they may be currently experiencing. Please reach out to Lisa Halkias, Social Worker, or our Guidance Counselors: Kathy Hunt and Jen Reidy.
Thank you and have a wonderful week-
Appreciation & Gratitude,
Principal Bazyk
