Bogan E-News - September 13, 2019

PTG

Our 1st PTG Program on Thursday, September 19th at 7pm in the Bogan Cafeteria. This is a great opportunity to hear from each grade level about the curriculum for this school year. 

Mental Health Screener

Teaching and Learning Director, Lindsey Gregg shared the following information about an upcoming Mental Health Screener for 4th, 7th and 9th grade students.

Attached is the mental health screener "opt-out" letter.  This letter applies ONLY to 4th, 7th and 9th grade students. The deadline to opt out will be Sept. 20th. 

District School Nurse Stephanie Johnson

District TSD Nurse, Stephanie Johnson wanted to remind students of the following:

With the flu season approaching. Please remind students "It is important  to not touch anything that is not yours" . This includes anything that can have bodily fluids on it. Examples are paper towels , tissues , toilet tissue, and puddles on the floors. All of the examples could have disease  and it could transfer to the student or other students in their classroom.

New Elementary Report Card

For the past year teachers, parents, and administrators have met to discuss and give input on the EMONI grading system used to report how students are performing in the classroom.  After much input and reflection, Talawanda Elementary schools; Kramer, Bogan, and Marshall will be changing from the EMONI reporting system to a numerical system. The purpose of this reporting change is to better communicate with parents and students about the achievement of grade level expectations.  Students will be marked using a 4 point scale indicating how well a student has mastered the grade-level standards. 

Please use this link to view Mrs. Gregg’s letter about our new report card.

QuikApps makes it easy for parents to apply for free or reduced meal status for their children using a simple, secure, step-by-step online form. Applications can be signed electronically, and eligibility for meal benefits is automatically determined once the application is complete.  Please use this link to access QuickApps information.
