This year conferences will be held on Wednesday, November 5 from 3:30-8:00
p.m. and on Thursday, November 6 from 12:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. There is no
school on Thursday, November 6 & Friday, November 7.
Communication between home and school is so important in helping establish
successful learning and teachers at Deerwood have been working hard to provide
parents with the most accurate information about their child’s education.
Research has shown that when parents and teachers work together, children
experience greater academic success. Parent-teacher conferences are one
important way that we can strengthen that partnership. We look forward to
visiting with you on November 5 and November 6.
INVENTION CONVENTION
Parents and Students are invited to view the many creative inventions designed by
our Deerwood students on November 5 either from 10:20-11:20 a.m. and/or
from 1:00-2:00 p.m. The convention viewing will be held in the Deerwood Gym.

It’s almost book fair time! Our fall book fair will be held during conferences
Wednesday, November 5 (3:30 to 8:00) and Thursday, November 6 (12:30 to
8:00). Your children will have had the opportunity to preview the book fair during
school prior to conferences so watch for their “wish lists” to come home.
We have a few available opportunities to help at the book fair. If you are interested
in helping please email Leah Palmer at leahc168@gmail.com The book fair would
not be a success without the help of the great volunteers.
Your support for the book fair is very much appreciated by your children. Our
profits from the book fair help us purchase new children’s books for the media
center. I’m looking forward to meeting you. See you there!

Deerwood also participates in Kowalski’s “Groceries for Good Causes” program, so if you are shopping at Eagan’s Kowalski’s market, please remember to drop your receipt into DEERWOOD’S BOX,
which is located by the store exit. At the end of every day, they will total up the number of receipts for
each of the participating organizations, and keep a running total based on the number of receipts, NOT the dollar
amount. Receipts from the Starbucks located inside the store also count! At the end of each quarter, we will
receive a donation from Kowalski’s, based on the percentage of receipts that were in Deerwood’s box.
Please pass this information along to your friends, and family members, who may also be shopping there…

In December, any interested Deerwood 4th or 5th grader will have the opportunity to participate in the National Geographic Bee. The process is very much like a traditional spelling bee with students each receiving geography questions. Students all continue through all 7 of the first round questions, however. No one is eliminated during the
round. Whether it’s your “listening turn” or the question is yours, it's an excellent opportunity to learn about familiar
and unfamiliar places!
Students will participate in the bee with Ms. Howell. The top ten scoring students will participate in our championship level bee in
early January. One student will be declared Deerwood’s National Geographic Bee winner and will be eligible to take the written
geography test. The top 100 students in the state will compete in late March to represent Minnesota at the National Geographic
Bee. (You may recall, Deerwood DID have a state qualifier last year!)
Several website references are on the Deerwood library’s webpage and at school there are many almanacs, atlases and other books
that may be used for study. Students (and their families) are encouraged to use this opportunity as motivation to learn more about
the people and places around the world! Further information on the Geo Bee can be found at
http://www.nationalgeographic.com/geobee/ (Perhaps your family would enjoy learning together while competing in their daily
10 GeoBeeQuiz?)

Fourth and fifth graders (and really motivated 3rd graders!!!) who wish to be a part of our Deerwood WordMasters Team
should be learning the 25 words on blue sheet handed out by classroom teachers! Students may wish to form study buddies
with other interested team members. Ideas for study might include making flashcards with word on one side, definition on the
other. Students may want to create fill in the blank sentences or conceive of analogies using the words, as practice. Our Meet
will consist of 20 analogies with one word missing, and multiple words from which to choose to correctly complete the
analogy. (Example: leash: loose :: rule: _____ with choices of: rugged, stern, listless, lax.)
Last year we found it quite challenging but we learned quite a number of new words. Let's see what our team can do this year-there's still study time!

I NFORMATION ON S TUDENT A BSENCES
We want students to be at school every day and we want them to be on time. Good attendance helps children reach academic,
social and personal success. In the State of Minnesota, it is the parents’ legal responsibility that all elementary age children
attend school. Elementary age students who miss seven unexcused days of school or more, according to the MN Statutes regarding education, are considered at risk for educational neglect and their parents are in violation of the state law on
compulsory education.
Parents are contacted daily if their child is not in school and a telephone call has not been received by 8:30 a.m. A call from
the parents is necessary each day of the child’s absence. Vacations or long illnesses may be handled by giving the
return date at the first call. If your child is sent home ill and is still ill the next day, we need to have you call. Parents may use
the voice mail system when calling to report absences. Simply call 651-683-6969 and when the operator says, “Welcome to
the voice mail center,” enter the five digit number 95074. When prompted, please identify yourself and then leave your
child’s name, grade, teacher and the reason for your child’s absence. One of the advantages for parents with this system is that
you can call in your child’s absence the night before. The system is operational 24 hours per day.
The following are excused absences:
* Illness
* Extreme family emergency
* Funeral
* Religious holiday
Doctor’s visits, including mental health, that cannot be scheduled outside of the school day.
The following are unexcused absences:
* Parents who forget to wake their child
* Parents did not know the school schedule
* Child missed the bus
* Child overslept
* Cold weather
* Child did not feel like going to school
* Child was sleepy
* Parent is sick
* Child is not immunized
* Staying home to babysit
Excessive absence and/or tardies may result in a letter of concern from the school. If your child is tardy (arrival past 8:20
a.m.), please have them check in at the office and receive a yellow pass before going to their classroom.

‘S NOW D AY ’ D ECISIONS A RE B ASED ON S AFETY
AND W IDELY C OMMUNICATED
With the pending arrival of winter comes the possibility of school cancellations or delayed starts due to inclement weather.
While “snow days” may be fun for students, the district does not take closing school lightly and wants students to be in school
whenever possible. We understand these decisions impact families throughout the district who may need to find alternative
care for their children if school is not in session.
The over-riding concern in making these decisions is the safety of students, staff and others in the community. Several factors
are considered, including road conditions and visibility, snow depth, wind chill, the weather forecast for the remainder of the
day and the actions of other school districts in our area. These decisions are made based on what is best for all children in the
district. If parents are ever concerned about sending their child to school because of weather conditions, it is always their
choice to keep them at home.
If the decision is made to either delay or cancel school, the information will be communicated to district employees and parents via an early-morning phone call from the SchoolConnects mass notification service. In addition, the cancelation or delay
will be communicated:
On the banner of the district website at District196.org (this is where information appears first, even before the SchoolConnects phone call);
On all four Twin Cities television network affiliate stations and WCCO-AM (830) radio. Look/listen for the “Rosemount Apple Valley-Eagan Public Schools,” and
On the district information line recording at 651-423-7777.
If school is canceled, decisions about whether to hold evening high school and community education activities are communicated on the district website and high school websites.

Coming prepared to class, participating actively, listening and following directions, following classroom/school rules and interacting well with others are all components that you may see checked on this form of communication. It will come home on a

P RINCIPAL S LEEPS ON THE R OOF
Article written by Mary Prinske Libby Fischer, fifth grade students
On October 9, 2014, Mr. Haugen, the principal at Deerwood
Elementary, slept on the roof of the school. From down below, you could see a big blue tent, and Mr. Haugen sitting on
his lawn chair with a bucket beside him.
When Mr. Haugen was on the roof, lots of students visited
him. As the kids were looking up at Mr. Haugen, he lowered
down a bucket that was attached to a rope with a pencil inside
for the students to take. When the bucket was on the ground,
some kids put in food like pizza, cupcakes and fruit snacks.
Somebody even brought him chicken wings from Buffalo Wild
Wings.
Mr. Haugen slept on the roof because the Deerwood students raised over $30,000 for a fundraiser called, “Run 4 Deerwood”.
After Mr. Haugen slept on the roof, the said that the freeway kept him awake! He stayed up on the roof without coming down
from 5:00PM to 5:00AM. “Did you eat everything?” we asked Mr. Haugen. “Most of it!” he laughed with us.
S CHOOL C ONNECTS WILL NOTIFY PARENTS
OF CANCELLATIONS
District 196 subscribes to the SchoolConnects service to quickly notify households by phone in the event of an emergency
situation or change to the school schedule such as a weather-related cancelation, late start or early release.
SchoolConnects has the capacity to send a pre-recorded message to thousands of phone numbers in a matter of minutes.
Our school can also use the service for emergency notifications, if necessary, as well as occasional non-emergency calls to let
you know about important dates such as statewide testing or an all-school event.
You do not need to subscribe to receive the SchoolConnects notifications, but should make sure our office has the correct
emergency contact numbers for your child. These emergency contact numbers are also listed for your child in the SchoolView
student information and parent portal system. The SchoolView database is continually updated and phone numbers are uploaded to SchoolConnects weekly.
In the event of a school schedule change related to weather, the district will complete only one call per child, starting with the
primary (home) number and moving to parent cell and work phone numbers, as needed, until a call is answered by a person or
recording machine/service. In the event of a true school-wide or district-wide emergency, calls may be initiated
simultaneously to all numbers listed for each child. Duplicate numbers are not called.
