October 28, 2020 Dear Family and Friends, School Boards must now review, evaluate and approve schools current Extended COVID Learning (ECOL) Plans monthly and we would like to ask for your feedback on Pentwater Public School's current ECOL Plan Model to assist them in this process. The current ECOL Plan: As of Monday, October 5, 2020, Pentwater Public Schools started their new learning formats, explained below: Option A: Students attend school for four (4) days Face-To-Face a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday). Wednesday's are a full remote day for all students. Option B: Students attend school in a Full-Remote setting 5 days a week. Those students choosing the Full-Remote setting are expected to attend their regularly scheduled classes 4 days a week virtually. Secondary classroom teachers have a live stream session open for every class period for students to access. Elementary classroom teachers post scheduled times for their students to attend daily live streaming lessons. If students are not able to attend a scheduled live session, it will be their responsibility to contact their teacher to discuss missed content. On Wednesday Full-Remote days, the students who chose option A will have independent work to do on this day. All students, to include full-remote students will be able to contact teachers on Wednesdays through one of the following ways: Google Meet/Zoom, email, text, Remind or phone call for any questions about coursework and/or assignments. We would like to gather your thoughts to help in the continued planning for a safe and positive learning environment for Pentwater students as a way of improving upon the platforms. Please take a few minutes to answer the following few questions. Time is of the essence and thus the survey completion window is short, so please complete this survey (https://forms.gle/sYM2AZr4EcXwLMtaA) by Friday November 9, 2020. Thank you for your time, feedback and your continued support! Respectfully, Dr. Scott Karaptian

On Thursday, 10/22/2020, the JH Band played indoors for the very first time since March 13th! This would not have been possible without the help of Sew Let's Be Quilty of downtown Pentwater and the several volunteers that gave their time and resources to make this happen! Also, a HUGE shout out to the HS Band for taking 1st hour today to help organize and rearrange the band room... all rehearsals will be indoors moving forward this school year! Thank you to the students, staff, and community for their patience as we made PPE and Ms. H figured out how to "do band" without playing instruments indoors for the past several weeks. Teamwork makes the dream work!

Good Afternoon Families and Friends, I want to remind everyone to continue using best practices to stay healthy and safe during this pandemic time. While we have not had any positive cases in our district this year, we have seen there have been some spike in cases in Oceana and neighboring counties. To quote the health department “Many of us are suffering from “COVID fatigue” and need some reminders to take the steps needed to keep COVID-19 under control until a vaccine is available.” We want to continue to encourage and remind families of the importance of screening your children for symptoms of COVID-19 prior to leaving for school and of keeping your kids home if they aren't feeling well. We continue to encourage our staff to honestly complete their daily symptom screenings and ensure this is being done. If we continue to work together and follow the safety protocols of self-screening, staying home if we are not feeling well, safe distancing, wearing our masks and washing/sanitizing our hands as often as possible, we will be able to keep our doors open and safe for face-to-face instruction to continue. Thank you for your time and help keeping our students, staff and school safe! Respectfully, Dr. Scott Karaptian

Hello Friends, I am sure that you have heard that there is a shortage of Guest/Substitute teachers in the area and across the state. This is more than a rumor and unfortunately it is the truth. We really could use some good people to help in the area of guest/substitute teaching. If you are interested in making $90 a day and have at least 60 credit hours from a regionally accredited college or have a current, expired or out of state teaching certificate, we sure could use your help in our district. If this is a journey you are interested and willing to take, please contact Mrs. Glover at 231-869-4100 or visit EduStaff’s website at edustaff.org to gather more information . Thank you!

Dear Parents & Guardians, Dogs in schools have shown to improve overall climate, support student’s academic progress and meet individual student’s social and emotional needs through contact and jobs. Students learn how to treat animals, show affection and receive an unconditional affectionate response. I have been working on raising and training a dog to come to school to provide these opportunities. Theo is a mini-golden doodle, hypoallergenic and is about 8 ½ months old. Theo joined my family in March and we have been training together since day one and then began working with a private trainer in July. Theo passed the Canine Good Citizen test which is needed to become a therapy dog. We obtained board approval last spring. Procedures are in place; Theo must be on lead at all times, students must ask to pet and receive approval to do so, no more than 2 students are allowed to pet at one time and students engaging in jobs will need permission from their families . I will discuss Theo’s presence and purpose with each classroom prior to Theo coming to school and we will follow the Approach, Ask, Pet procedure. Initially, due to COVID and training, Theo will come to school for a few ½ days a week with minimal to no student contact. Students will get used to having Theo in the building and Theo will get used to having students in the building. Theo is very familiar with the building as he has been coming to school all summer long. Theo will be housed in my office where he has a kennel for breaks. Theo will be out in the hallway and around school with me when I am out and about. It is important for us to gather information regarding your child’s needs related to dogs. If your child has animal allergies I need to know, if your child has a fear of dogs I need to know. Please use this google form to report any information that we may need to have regarding your child and dogs. Link to google form (please copy and paste into your browser, an email with the link was also sent to parent/guardian emails: https://forms.gle/KeqNaKjPG19A9ifU8 Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
