May 30, 2020 Hello Polson Families,
As you can know, there are some new systems that we're putting in place to close out the year, one of the most critical being the return of locker contents to students. Please see details below of a system that we believe is efficient and safe for all, and thank you for your help in making it run smoothly.
The process:
Grade 7: Tuesday, June 2 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Grade 8: Wednesday, June 3 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Grade 6: Thursday June 4 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Stepping Forth Driving Forth We would like to invite families of 8th grade students to celebrate our traditional Stepping Forth ceremony by coming for a Driving Forth. A greeting area will be set up at the front of Polson and we invite families to drive down the DHHS driveway and form a line by the shed and auditorium entrance. Five cars at a time will be allowed to pull up to the front of the building and the students may exit the vehicle and walk up to the table. Family members must remain in the vehicle. Students (maximum of 5 at a time) will walk up to the table at the front of Polson to pick up their certificate of achievement. No contact will be made between students and staff including hand shakes. We encourage parents to take a photograph of their child in front of the balloons, tiger or Polson sign. Staff members will also be on the path/driveway to cheer, wave and say goodbye to our 8th graders. They have certainly deserved this recognition as they wrap up middle school and prepare for high school. In addition, we are working on creating a congratulatory video link with speeches, pictures, and recognitions for our 8th graders. More information will be sent next week.
Date: Monday, June 15, 2020 Location: Polson Middle School Time: 8:30-9:30 a.m. Team 8-1 9:30-10:30 a.m. Team 8-2 10:30-11:30 a.m. Team 8-3 Yearbooks Yearbooks will be available for pick up the week of June 15. More information to come regarding exact days and times students can stop by. Our shipping date is slightly delayed due to the circumstances. I am pleased to share that we will also have an online component where students will be able to digitally sign each other's yearbook. More information to come with specific login details.
As we wrap up the year, I continue to appreciate the commitment by the students and the support from parents. Enjoy the weekend!
