"Empowering Leaders, Inspiring Learners, Developing Relationships"
October 2, 2017


Principal's Post

 
Dear McCulloch Families,
     The month of September was full of so much excitement, learning, and leadership. During the month of September we had our first Breakfast with Books, our first student-led McCulloch Leadership Assembly, classroom created mission statements, and our Parent-Student Advisory meeting. 
     During the month of October, we will continue to grow student leadership opportunities for our learners. We will begin to deploy our Student Leadership Team. Our goal is to have all students involved in a building leadership role by the end of the school year. 
     We look forward to seeing you at Parent Teachers conferences during the last week of October. Teachers will be in contact with you to schedule a time to visit about your child.

  Your partners in education~

Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent/Teacher Conferences

When: October 30th and November 2nd
Where: Your child's classroom

Please join us for Parent/Teacher Conferences on either of the nights listed above. Your child's teacher will be in contact with you so you can sign-up for a day and time that works best for you. At McCulloch we believe that the partnership between the parents and teacher is crucial to the success of our students. Our goal this year is to have 100% of our McCulloch families attend a Parent/Teacher conference.

When: October 26th
How: Return consent form by October 19th

A student flu vaccine clinic will be offered by Jordan Valley Community Health Center to ALL students in the Republic R-III School District.  They will be at McCulloch on October 19 th .  This is available to ALL students, regardless of income or insurance status.  Consent forms were sent home with students September 26th. Please return your completed form by Friday, October 13th, for your child to receive the inactivated influenza shot. No signed form = no influenza shot. Contact Nurse Nancy at 732-3620 with any questions/concerns or if you need an additional consent form.


Habit of the Month
During morning community time in  August and September students have been learning about Habit 1, Be Proactive. This habit means you are in charge of your actions and attitude. We also refer to this as carrying your own weather. Someone who thinks with the end in mind says, "I am a responsible person. I will take initiative. I choose my actions, attitudes, and moods. I do not blame others for my actions. I do the right thing without being asked, even when no one is looking." 

In the month of October, we will continue to discuss Habit 2, Begin with the End in Mind. This habit means you plan ahead and set goals. Students contribute to the school's mission and their classroom mission.
