Community

Schools, in

partnership

with the

community,

as a leader in

education, is

to strive for

excellence by

providing

students with

quality,

equitable and

As Superintendent of Napoleon Community Schools

I would like to personally welcome everyone back for an

exciting 2013-2014 school year.

We, as a school family, would like to sincerely thank

our generous community for passing the recent bond

proposal to renovate Napoleon High School.

This past summer construction crews were hard at

work completing their trades for us to be ready to welcome

students back on September 5th

. Our students and staff

were amazed the results so far. We now have newly

renovated classrooms on the south end of the building and

a brand new state of the art science wing. Our students

taking science classes can be reassured that they are being

educated in the best science classrooms/ labs in Jackson

County.

Again I want to say thank you to our community,

not only for the passing of our bond proposal, but for all

the continued support you show our many programs

offered at Napoleon Community Schools. Your

thoughtfulness and generosity is greatly appreciated.

The fall sports season is well underway. Our

football players, cross country runners, girls golf,

volleyball players and cheer team have been working

extremely hard towards a successful fall.

Finally, communication is extremely important

between the parents and the school. Please be sure to keep

us informed and we will keep you informed through

newsletters, progress reports, phone calls, notes and

report cards. Remember to check our website frequently at

www.napoleonschools.org for current district information

and updates.

Have a Great School Year,

James E Graham

Superintendent Napoleon Community Schools

INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO

RELEASE OF STUDENT INFORMATION

The No Child Left Behind Act and the

National Defense Authorization Act requires a school

district to provide military recruiters the same access

to high school students as college and job recruiters.

Similar legislation was passed in Michigan. The state

law requires school districts to provide students’

names, addresses and phone numbers (except those

with an unlisted number) to military organizations

upon request. Both the state and federal laws also

permit parents to opt out of providing directory

information to third parties, including military

recruiters. If your family wishes to use this opt out

option for the 2013-2014 school year, please call

Napoleon High School at (517) 905-5703 or

Ackerson Lake Community High School at

(517) 905-5701 by October 21, 2013 to ask for your

child’s name to be removed from the list. Be assured

the Napoleon Community Schools does not otherwise

release directory information for the purposes of

surveys, marketing or solicitation. We respect the

rights and privacy of our families.

HOMELESS ACT PROVIDES FOR STUDENTS IN NEED

In these tough economic times, the needs of our school community are great than ever. The passage of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act allows us to provide assistance for families and students dealing with homelessness. This assistance could be in the form of transportation to and from school, free meals, academic help, field trip and other school fees paid and so on. A student is considered homeless if one of the following categories is met:

Living on the street or in a car or abandoned building, ect.

Living in a shelter such as inter-faith or AWARE

Children placed in foster care are considered homeless for the first 6 mo. They are in the system

Doubling-up- Children and immediate family who moved in with another family or relative

Hotel, Motel- people who live in welfare sponsored rooms or rooms in a hotel/motel.

If you know a family in our district that might qualify according to the guidelines, please contact your school counselor, principal or Pamela Barnes, the district Homeless Liaison Coordinator at (517) 905-5718.

Locker Search Policy

The Board acknowledges the need for in-school storage of student possessions and shall provide storage places including desks and lockers, for that purpose. Where locks are provided for such places, students may lock them against incursion by other students, but in no such places shall students have an expectation of privacy as to prevent examination by a school official. The board directs the school principals to conduct a routine inspection at least annually of all such storage places. In the course of any search, student’s privacy rights will be respected regarding any items that are not illegal or against Board policy.

The Board also authorizes the use of canines, trained in detecting the presence of drugs or devices, when the Superintendent has reasonable suspicion that illegal drugs or devices may be present in a school. This means of detection shall be used only to determine the presence of drugs in locker areas and other places in the school where such substances could be concealed.

Canine detection must be conducted in collaboration with law enforcement authorities or other certified organizations and is not to be used to search students unless either a warrant or parental permission has been obtained prior to the search.

Box Tops for Education

We are continuing to participate in the Box Tops

for Education program, which proceeds will be used

to purchase books and other supplies for the

classrooms. Please send these in with your child or

drop them off in the drop box in the front lobby of

the school. We appreciate your support!

Ezra Eby Elementary is a “bucket filling”

school. Bucket filling schools create a vision to

create safe, kind, positive schools, strengthen

families, preempt bullying, and make

“bucket filling” a way of life.

What is bucket filling? We all carry an invisible

bucket in which we keep feelings. When our

buckets are full we are happy and when they

are empty we are sad.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING

PARKING/PICKING UP STUDENTS.

When bringing your child(ren) to school in the

morning, please be sure to wait to go to his/her

A BIG “Thank You” to the Napoleon Community Foundation

The 2013 year is starting with exciting news from our Reading Recovery Program at Ezra Eby Elementary. The Reading Recovery Program assists first grade children in learning how to read at the average level of their classroom. The individualized daily 30 minute lessons run for 20 weeks providing strategic processing to help students become independent readers. This year Mrs. Jeannine Dawson and Mrs. Colleen Anderson will be providing full time Reading Recovery instruction and provide literacy group lessons for first and second graders. Mrs. Nancy Evanson will be working with first and second grade students in a new "Little Treasures Parent Take Home Project." Initial funding for this program comes from a generous donation from The Napoleon Community Foundation. The staff of Ezra Eby Elementary wishes to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Napoleon Community Foundation for their support of early literacy. The donation for this program will provide reading kits with books and parent instructions to help parents become proponents of their child's reading education. The kits will be available year after year. Target Education Grants also supported the Little Treasure Parent Take Home project. We would like to also thank the Target organization for their support of early literacy in the Napoleon community. Mrs. Evanson is currently applying for additional funding for a Little Free Library to be placed in the courtyard at Ezra Eby. This library would provide the community and all Napoleon students with a free outdoor courtyard reading library in a garden setting for adults and children to enjoy and share the love of reading. The Little Free Library will be open seven days a week twenty four hours a day. Anyone interested in supporting this project, either with a donation of funds or volunteering of time or service, please contact Nancy Evanson, Ezra Eby Elementary 517-905-5731 or Nancy.Evanson@napoleonschools.org. The staff at Ezra Eby Elementary wishes you great success in the new school year. Success is measured by effort, so with effort we can all have a successful school year.

EEZZRRAA EEBBYY EELLEEMMEENNTTAARRYY ccoonntt..

Ezra Eby Elementary is continuing our postal service called "Pirate Mail" again this year. Our

goal is to promote reading and writing skills through letter writing. Each child will have an

opportunity to write letters and postcards to any student or staff member at school.

All letters must be written in letter form. Parents please join the fun and write your child a

letter or postcard. Address your letter just as you would a regular letter using the correct

classroom address, include a return address and a stamp of your own design and drop it in

the big Pirate Mailbox in the school lobby.

Ezra Eby Mission Statement

We, the Elementary Staff of Napoleon

Community Schools, believe that all students

can learn. We are committed to being prepared

for all students who enter our building.

Students will be provided with a positive

learning environment designed to foster

academic and social growth. Individual

achievement will be measured through formal

and informal assessment.

We accept the responsibility to educate

our students to become productive learners and

contributing members of our school community.

Common Planning- Early Release

7th Grade Field Trip

Faholo Camp Ground

Napoleon Middle School’s seventh

grade class went by bus to Faholo Camp

Ground on September 13, 2013 to participate

in Faholo’s Adventure Education Program. Our

purpose was to start the school year with this

field trip to promote character education

along with team building, trust, communication

skills, perseverance and problem solving. Mrs.

Warner, Mr. Gunnels, Mr. Sczykutowicz, Mrs.

Worsham, Mrs. Hass and Mrs. Johnston,

seventh grade staff accompanied the

students and worked with the students along

with staff from Faholo at each group.

The day was cool but the students

warmed up as they went to the rock climbing

wall, the high wire and zip line, 4 way volley-

ball, swimming, and the initiative course.

They all enjoyed lunch under the big

top tent on the grounds. It was a great day

and when the students arrived back at

Napoleon Middle School at 5:00 p.m., they

were tired but all in agreement they wanted

to go again.

Napoleon Middle School 6th Grade

Girl Scout Troop #60064

The troop (pictured above) recently completed a year long

journey to fulfill their Bronze Award by installing a Pirate Bench

at the Middle School. The bench was donated to the school by

the troop. Setting the base, installing the concrete and

supplying the materials were also the responsibility of the 6th

graders, with some help from the maintenance department.

The bench is a welcome sight for parents and awaiting children

at the end of a school day. Look for the troop to be involved in

other NMS activities as service projects throughout the year.

The Staff at Ackerson Lake HS has

implemented a targeted intervention

strategy designed to expedite credit

recovery. The structure of the academic

year will continue to follow the same

Trimester format. However, each Trimester

will now be split into two six week marking

periods, with each marking period divided

into three-two week units. The two

marking period grades will be averaged

together to establish a Trimester grade.

Students who do not earn a passing

trimester grade will be the focal point of the

intervention. Staff has designed credit

recovery units to align with their direct

instruction which will allow for credit

recovery to occur in condensed time frames.

2013-2014 Annual Pest Control Advisory

Notification to Parents

At the beginning of each school year,

administrators shall notify parents and

guardians of children attending that school

of right to informed prior to any application

of a pesticide at that school.

The notice described in the previous

paragraph shall contain information,

obtained from the person applying the

pesticides, which includes a statement that a

pesticide will be applied, the approximate

location of the application, and the date of

the application.

MULTI-DESTINATION FORMS It is recognized that many parents work and have made child care arrangements. For that

reason, parents may request an alternate location for busing purposes. Please contact

Transportation Department at (517) 905-5710 to discuss completing a multi-destination

request form and making arrangements PRIOR to using this service

ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT PLAN The school district has conducted an extensive

asbestos inspection of all buildings. This survey and a follow-up management plan were completed by state

certified inspector-consultants. Insulation on pipes, furnaces, hot water tanks, etc. are encapsulated

according to EPA recommendations. The survey and plan indicate no friable materials in school buildings. To ensure the health and safety of building

occupants, surveillance by local certified personnel is conducted every six months. Re inspections by state

qualified inspectors also are required and made every third year.

The plan is available for inspection at the central office. If requested, it will be supplied to school

patrons within five working days at a cost of $.30 per page.

OSHA REGULATIONS The Napoleon Community School District is subject to federal regulation from the

Occupational Safety and Health Admin. (OSHA) to restrict the spread of hepatitis

B virus (HBV) and human immune deficiency virus (HIV) in the workplace. These

regulations are designed to protect employees of the district who are, or could be,

exposed to blood or other contaminated bodily fluids while performing their job

duties. Because of very serious consequences of contracting HBV or HIV, the district is committed to taking the necessary precautions to protect both students and staff

from its spread in the school environment. Part of the federally mandated procedures include a requirement that the district request the person who is bleeding to consent to be tested for HBV or HIV. This

information would then be provided both to the exposed employee and the treating physician to determine proper medical treatment.

The law does not require parents or guardians to grant permission for the

examination of their child’s blood, but it does require the district to request the

consent. Although we expect that incidents of exposure will be few, we wanted to

notify parents of these requirements ahead of time. That way, if the situation does

develop, you will understand the reason for our request and will have an

opportunity to consider it in advance. These are serious diseases, and we

sincerely hope that through proper precautions and cooperation, we can prevent

them from spreading.
