Parents,

If you are planning on visiting for a school event this school year, please follow the appropriate instructions. 

• If a ID/ Driver license has been scanned  this school year by the office, parents will be able to come into the office to scan the back of the card on our Visitor Screen located in the front office. (picture below) and print a visitor badge on the day of the event. 

• If not, please stop by the office to have your ID/ Driver license (physical card, no copies or pictures) scanned in our RAPTOR system, before the day of the event. 

• If  you do not have a ID/Driver license and have a passport that cannot be scanned, it will have to be as a walk in that day and stand in the line, as it has to be entered manually.

• If you have a picture only of their ID/Driver License/ Passport, you will have to walk in that day and stand in the line, as it has to be entered manually.

 

 

 Important Notice RE: Items dropped off during school hours.

One of our core values at Theuerkauf is Responsibility. There has been a large increase in items forgotten and dropped off items during the day. Sometimes it is challenging to get items to students in a timely manner and we want to minimize interruptions of lessons during class time so all students can stay focused on their education. 

Please support your child at home by going through a quick checklist before leaving: Warm jacket, hat or gloves if needed, lunch box, backpack, instrument, homework, etc. 

Thank you for supporting our core value of Responsibility and minimizing classroom interruptions. 

 

If you do need to drop off a forgotten item please label it with the following so there is no confusion or mix ups. Please note that the office staff will do their best to get it to the students in a timely manner: 

1. Student name

2. Grade

3. Teacher and Room #

Invitations for districtwide Summer Programs will be emailed to those who qualify beginning in late March

Qualifying families will soon be receiving invitations to one or more programs that will provide summertime care, enrichment, and academic support. The majority of these programs are for students who are English Learners and/or considered socioeconomically disadvantaged. The programs vary in scope and specific qualification criteria. Students with IEPs who have Extended School Year services documented in their IEPs will be receiving information about that program by April 7.

MVWSD is updating its math curriculum

As typical with our curriculum cycles, it’s time to review and improve our mathematics program to ensure all students have strong learning opportunities, including acceleration if desired.

MVWSD is launching a two-year process to update math curriculum based on the latest research and best practices for math education. Our math curriculum was last adopted in 2015, and math placement criteria hasn’t been updated since 2021-22. To make this process inclusive, we’re seeking input from students, staff, and parents on math curriculum, instruction, pathways, assessments, and placement.

Please join the upcoming ThoughtExchange to share your thoughts from March 26 – April 4. This online survey will be open to all staff, parents, and students in grades 4-8. Additionally, there will be focus groups for more in-depth discussions with staff, students and parents. Your input matters!
