At School Picture Day on Thursday, August 19th, students will be issued a student ID and lanyard immediately following their picture being taken. It is an expectation that students wear their school-issued ID on a lanyard around their necks every day while they are on campus.
Mrs. Kinnard, our principal, will be sharing more details and information regarding student IDs very soon!
It was great to see so many smiling, excited faces at Panther Preview and the Back-to-School picnic last week!
It’s hard to believe that the first day of the 2021-2022 school-year is here! Some students are new to Schimelpfenig this year, others are returning to the building after an extended absence learning @Home, and some 6th grade students may be learning at home temporarily. We welcome back everyone and have a few pointers for those who will be returning to the building tomorrow, August 11th!
How can you help your student have a great year and yourself stay informed?
