The
elementary school will be celebrating National School Lunch week October 13-17
by inviting parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles to join them for lunch. Each class has a specific day to invite
someone to lunch. Because of space, we
ask that only one adult join us per student.
Please let us know of your participation at least one day prior and
include money. We no longer accept
money in the cafeteria. An adult lunch
costs $2.00. The salad bar is available
everyday. A side salad is included with
the regular menu. The schedule is as

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT SURROGATE PARENT PROGRAM
Pursuant
to the requirements of state law 162.997-999-RSMo, the State Board of Education
is required to appoint a surrogate parent as such time as it becomes evident
that a child with a disability does not have a parent or a person acting as a
parent to participate in matters dealing with the provision of special
education. For purposes of surrogate
parent appointment, "parent" is defined as a biological parent, a
guardian, or a person acting as a parent of a child including, but not limited
to, a grandparent, a step parent, or a foster parent with whom the child
lives. The term does not include the
State if the child is a ward of the State.
The term does not include a person whose parental rights have been
terminated.
The local
school district is given the responsibility to determine when a child with a
disability who requires special education and who resides in the District is
without a parent. The District must
notify the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education of the
need to appoint a surrogate parent.
Training for persons serving as surrogate parents will be provided by
the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the District.
If you are
interested in volunteering to serve as a surrogate parent, more information can
be obtained from the Districts' surrogate parent contact person - the person
responsible for the District's special education program.
Sixty-six
students scored proficient or advanced on the Spring 2003 State MAP assessment

These stations will present dismissal information as soon as decisions

with Mrs. Grissom to take this test.
10th grade
- PLAN - October 29 - Required test for sophomores. Will provide us with valuable career planning information and an

October
27-31 - Red Ribbon Week - We will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week during October
this year. Elementary will be doing a
variety of activities including a door decorating contest, obstacle courses,
movies, guest speakers and dress up days.
High School will participate in morning competitions, movies, guest
speakers, and the Grim Reaper activity that will demonstrate how many people
are killed each day by drunk drivers.
There is a
new face in the counseling office this year.
Madeline Herrmann is here doing her counseling internship with Mrs.
Grissom. She is in the counseling
program at Truman and will be graduating in May. Ms. Herrmann will be helping Mrs. Grissom with Red Ribbon Week,
classroom guidance, and a variety of other counseling activities. Please welcome her.
Like last
year, Mrs. Grissom and Ms. Herrmann would like to have lunch with all of the
elementary students. We'll be splitting
up the classes and taking small groups at a time either outside or to the PAT
room to eat lunch. This gives the
students a change of scenery and allows them to get to know the counselors as
well as giving us a chance to get to know them better. We may also be doing some Breakfast Clubs
for those who eat breakfast.
If you
have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Mrs.
Grissom
