Panther Parents,
Nice weather is finally here and soon your child will be focusing their thoughts on summer vacation. It is very
important that students continue to focus on their schoolwork during this busy time of year. This is a great
opportunity to focus your child on time management and prioritizing. Finishing the 4th quarter on a strong note
will carry over to the 2015-2016 school year. Please continue to check the parent portal and teacher websites!
Many activities are planned for our students as the end of the year approaches. I want to take this opportunity
to remind you that proper behavior and citizenship are required for participation in the upcoming events. We
want our students to finish the year as strong as they started!
The last day of school is always an exciting and emotional time for students. We realize students will be
anxious to start their summer vacation. With this in mind, please be advised that things like shaving cream,
water balloons, silly string, etc., will not be allowed on campus. Any such materials will be confiscated and
disposed of immediately. Your cooperation with this matter is most appreciated. Our goal is to get our students
home safely!
As the 2014-2015 school year comes to a close, we would like to thank all of the students, staff, volunteer
parents, and CAC members for their hard work making this year a successful one. Without your help and
dedication to Iroquois, many activities and programs would not be possible. Thank You!!
Have a safe and restful summer!
Sincerely,
Chris Gardner
Principal

FOOD SERVICE
Food Service would like to say “Thanks”
to all those who participated in our
debit program this school year. We
hope you found it an easier and quicker
way for your students to purchase food.
It is our policy to ‘roll’ all ending
balances over for the next school year.
However, if your student is leaving the
district you will need to request a
refund. This would particularly
pertain to 12th graders who will be
leaving the district upon graduation.
School Property
Parents and students,
please check around your
work area at home for any
school property that may
have been borrowed during
the school year (rulers,
protractors, and especially,
calculators.) Each year we
come up a few short.
Thank you for your help in
this matter.
May 8, 2015 will be the LAST day Food
Service will accept checks to be deposited
in debit accounts for all students. There
will be NO EXCEPTIONS!!! We will,
however, continue to accept cash
deposits until the end of the school year.
Again, thank you for your patronage
and we look forward to serving you in
2015-2016.

IMPORTANT PROCEDURES
(Please Read and Save)
ABSENCE REPORTING PROCEDURE - ALL absences, including hospital stays and vacations, should be reported to
the main office by calling the attendance line. The office will then notify the teachers. ABSENCES should be called
in before 8:00AM to (586)723-3799. Please leave the student’s name, grade level, reason for absence and length
of absence on the absence line. We are required to report illnesses to the Macomb County Health Department and
must be advised of any illness, especially if contagious. It is also important to call the attendance line when your
child is going to be tardy.
EMERGENCY INFORMATION CARD - Please make sure your child’s emergency information is up-to-date throughout the year with current emergency phone numbers and authorized persons for picking up your child. If a child
becomes ill during the day, we expect that students will have a way to get home.
HOMEWORK REQUEST - Homework requests can be prepared beginning with the second consecutive day your
student is absent. The request should be called into the office before 9:00AM. A message will be given to all
involved teachers. Homework assignments will be sent to the office for pick up between 3:00 and 3:30PM. Please
only request homework if you are able to pick it up. Parents are asked to bring in their child’s locker number and
combination to retrieve their books and folders. For students going on vacation, make-up work should be
requested no later than the day they return from vacation. Make-up work should be completed within the same
number of school days as he/she was absent, unless special arrangements have been made with each teacher.
EARLY DISMISSAL PROCEDURE - When a child needs to leave school early, parents are to come into the office to
sign the child out. Children will only be released to persons on their emergency card with a valid picture ID. If the
student returns to school, the student needs to come into the office to sign back in and get a pass to class.
Parents do not need to come back in when returning the child to school.
STUDENT MESSAGES AND DELIVERIES - If your child has called home because they have forgotten their lunch,
money or any other item needed for the day, please bring it to the main office. Students are aware it is their
responsibility to check for the item in the office. Lunches that are not picked up in the office are put on the stage
in the cafeteria to be picked up during lunch time. When a delivery is unexpected, your child will be notified at a
time when it will least disrupt the class.
PLEASE TRY TO MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO HELP YOUR CHILD REMEMBER THEIR THINGS FOR THE SCHOOL DAY.
IT IS DISRUPTIVE TO YOUR CHILD’S LEARNING DAY IF WE HAVE TO CALL THEM TO THE OFFICE TO PICK UP
THINGS OR TO ANSWER PHONE CALLS FROM YOU. When delivering lunches, notebooks, money, etc., PLEASE
make sure your child’s name is clearly marked on the item.
MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS
ORDER NEW OR RENEW
You can order new or renew old magazine subscriptions that come due throughout the school year and still earn
money for Iroquois. Please visit The Great American Fundraiser Store at www.gaschoolstore.com and type in our
On-line Store I.D. of 1446780. Then enter your child’s name in the appropriate box. You can also order other
items at this website like wrapping paper, personalized gifts and gourmet food items. Thank you for supporting
our school throughout the year!

Medication Administration in School
Listed below are some key points in the Chippewa Valley School District Medication Administration Policy. The purpose of the policy is to
support the health needs of children during school hours and to ensure the safety of all children.

Legislation on Inhalers: Public Act 10 allows a public or non-public school student to possess and use a metered dose inhaler of a dry
powder inhaler for the relief of asthma symptoms, or before exercise to prevent the onset of asthma symptoms while at school, or on
school-sponsored transportation, or at any school-sponsored activity if there is written approval from the student’s physician or other
health care provider and the student’s parent/guardian for the student to possess and use the inhaler; and the building administrator
has received a copy of the written approvals from the physician and the parent/guardian.

Any student that requires an EpiPen, is diabetic or takes seizure medication, MUST have an action plan completed and on file with
our Health Aide. Action Plan forms are available at the school.

Before any medication can be administered in school, written authorization from the child’s physician and parent must be obtained
and be on file in the school office. Separate forms are available in the main office and on the district’s website for prescription and
non-prescription medications.




All medication should be brought to school by the child’s parent/guardian.
All medication should be in the original bottle or container. Medication not in the original bottle cannot be administered.
Containers should be labeled with the child’s name, medication, dose, time and route of administration.
Information on the use and adverse effects of any medication given in school should be provided to the school by the parent,
pharmacist, or physician.

Parents must notify school personnel if their child has conditions such as allergies, diabetes, or asthma, so that proper
precautions/training may be put in place.
Making sure that your children are safe and healthy is our primary concern. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact
the office at 723-3700.
Medication Pick-Up: Any medication kept in the school office for students must be picked up at school on or before June 18.
Medication cannot be sent home with students. If the medication is not picked up by this date, it will be properly disposed of according
to district guidelines.

Recycling to Support Our Schools and

Please bring your newspapers and magazines

dumpster (located in the back
parking lot by the tennis courts)
to help support our school!
Proceeds benefit our science programs
PLEASE DONATE
Prescription eye glasses & Prescription sunglasses
(including those in need of repair)
Sturdy eyeglass cases
Unfortunately, many people with vision problems cannot afford eye glasses. With your help, donated prescription glasses will
be given to the City of Warren Lions Club, a local community group. Eye
doctors will then determine the prescriptions of the donated glasses and
will match them with someone in need who has the same prescription.
Please donate eye glasses that are no longer being used by you, your
family members, neighbors and friends. These glasses can be dropped
off in the Iroquois Main Office.
Make a huge difference in someone’s life!

award will be given to that student. This is an on-going event. Thank you for your support.
Box Tops for Education
The media center is asking families to participate in saving General Mills Box Tops for Education logos. All you need to do
is clip the Box Top logos from participating General Mills products and send them to the school media center with your

raised by the collection will go to purchase additional resources for the media center.
