Dear Mapleview Families.

Though it is only early December, I feel it necessary to extend Christmas greetings to

you. We just hosted a fabulous winter vocal concert and the holiday break is just over

2 weeks away. I hope that this season brings you joy and peace.

Please join me in celebrating with the Mapleview community our 2018-2019 school

report card on the next page of this newsletter. Due to the hard work of our staff

and students, Mapleview Intermediate School was recognized with another year of

growth and a score of Significantly Exceeding Expectations. Again, this score is

achieved through the hard work of staff and students and parent support. Thank you

for making Mapleview a high achieving school.

I am very proud of the way our staff and students have maintained their focus on

learning over the past few weeks. Students continue to be challenged in the classroom

and focused on problem solving and strategy utilization. We are asking them to un-

derstand the learning focus, their current state in regards to that focus, and their plan

to achieve that goal or focus. This process continues each day as students face new

and unique problems and work to solve them using the strategies they have been

taught, with the support of their teacher. I continue to be excited at the student

growth I am seeing.

Thank you for your extra care and caution at morning drop off and afternoon pick up

around the school. With the icy roads and sidewalks, we all appreciate keeping safety

a number one priority.

Again, Christmas is less than three weeks away, may this time bring peace and joy to

you and your family.

Sincerely,

Jason Nate

School Report Cards Released

As part of its assessment and accountability system, the Wisconsin Department of Public

Instruction creates a School Report Card for every publicly funded school in the state. The

Report Cards are intended to help all schools and districts utilize data related to student

achievement to monitor their performance and target their improvement efforts. On its Report

Card, a school receives a score on a scale of 0 to 100 and one of five ratings based on that

score. The ratings range from Fails to Meet Expectations to Significantly Exceeds Expectations. The

school’s score and rating are primarily based on the school’s performance on statewide

assessments in the 2018-19 school year.

Mapleview Intermediates’ Report Card score was 89.7 and this gave the school a rating

of Significantly Exceeding Expectations. You can access Mapleview Intermediate’s

Report Card along with those for all of the district’s schools and a District Report Card

on the DPI’s website: http://dpi.wi.gov/accountability/report-cards

Report Card scores as well as other district performance reports can also be accessed from

the Kimberly Area School District’s website:

http://www.kimberly.k12.wi.us/departments/about/performance-reports

On the actual Report Card, parents can review the specific student performance information

that is used to calculate the school’s overall score. Keep in mind that these Report Cards are

just one source of information about our school. Our staff will use the data from our Report

Card as part of our continuous improvement efforts during the current school year. If you have

questions about the Report Card feel free to contact me.

Holiday Board Winners 2018

P A G E 3 V O U L M E 1 4 , I S S U E 4

Mr. Calmes would like to thank the fol-

lowing 6th grade students: Hannah Half-

mann, Emma Reybrock, and Cara Sauter.

They put in many hours of hard work

during their recess. The board looks

wonderful! The decorated board is dis-

played at Memorial Park (located across

the street from Mapleview). You can also

stop by anytime during the holidays to

see the great job they have done.

It is inevitable that snow will

come so, please continue to

be on your toes when drop-

ping off and picking up your

child. The roads and parking

lots will get narrower and visi-

bility will decrease. When

dropping off on Maple Street,

please drop on the school side

of the street. When dropping

off in front of the school of-

fice, please remain in line and

have your child exit the vehi-

cle as soon as your vehicle

reaches the sidewalk. We can

unload five to six at a time

which will make drop-off fast-

er. There is a crosswalk in

front of the office doors, so

please stay in line and don’t

pass. Thank you for keeping

the safety of our students a

number one priority.

Winter Safety Thank you for

keeping the

safety of our

students a

number one

priority.

Winter Choir Concert Way to go choir members for all of the hard work that has gone into our songs

for the December 3rd concert! We will be wrapping up 2019 with a choir party

on December 5th from 3:00-3:45! After that, there will be no more after

school practices for Winter Choir. Look for information about the District

Choral Festival in January!

Intramurals

M A P L E V I E W I N T E R M E D I A T E

We’ve worked hard and had a lot of fun in all of our intramurals this fall. Most recently,

our girls volleyball teams and the boys and girls wrestling team completed their seasons

with some friendly competition between the Bobcats and the Woodland Wolves.

Our after school choir members ended their fall practice last week and had a wonderful

performance at our Holiday concert Tuesday.

Watch for basketball sign up sheets to come home on December 12 for girls on Mondays/

Wednesday and boys Tuesdays/Thursdays in the months of January and February. Battle

of the Books will also begin meeting in January on Tuesdays, though the book list was giv-

en to students in September.

Boys volleyball, chess & cribbage club and 6th grade art club will be offered later in the

winter months. We enjoy getting our students involved in extracurricular activities that

encourage interacting with others, learning new skills and having fun!

Thank you to all parents for your commitment as well. Picking up your child after practice

takes valuable time. We appreciate it.

Thank you,

Mrs. Jochimsen

Emergency Medication Please be aware that emergency medications that are provided for use during

the school day will not be accessible after school hours. Parents and students

plan ahead to have emergency medication available during after school activi-

ties such as clubs and sports. If an emergency arises and a student does not

have their emergency medication available, 911 will be called.

KIMBERLY TENNIS PRO DAY HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED!

Please click here to view a flyer with more details.

P A G E 5 V O U L M E 1 4 , I S S U E 4

Last week, the Mapleview Student Council sponsored a food drive to help out people in our com-munity who do not have enough to eat this Holiday season and throughout the year. Students helped out by bringing in non-perishable food items that were donated to St. Joseph’s Food Pantry in Menasha.

For some added incentive, the teachers in school took pictures of their own “Turkey Legs” and the students tried to guess which legs belonged to which teacher. They then placed the donations by the picture of the teacher they wanted to see dressed as a turkey! This year’s “winner” was Mrs. Hanes. Her reward? Dress up as a turkey and strut up and down the halls while the students cheered her on in approval.

School Attendance

A reminder to parents

that all attendance must go

through the Main Office in

advance. Please send a

note with your child, call

the office at 788-7910 to

speak to a secretary, or

leave a message on our

attendance line. The office

will then update your stu-

dent’s attendance in Infi-

nite Campus. You may in-

form teachers if you so

choose, however, the Main

Office should be the initial

contact to avoid any unex-

cused absences. You are

able to leave a message at

any time outside of our

normal office hours (3:15

PM-7:00 AM).

Wisconsin’s school com-

pulsory law requires stu-

dents miss no more than

ten (10) days per school

year. Once a student has

missed ten or more days

of school a doctor’s note

may be required to excuse

the absence. Students who

visit the doctor due to an

extended illness in advance

of the ten days are also

encouraged to send a doc-

tor’s note to the Main Of-

fice excusing the ab-

sence. Absences excused

by a medical professional

generally do not count to-

ward a student’s ten day

maximum. If you have

questions regarding our

attendance policy or a

unique circumstance,

please contact Valerie

Schroeder, the Mapleview

Intermediate attendance

secretary.

M A P L E V I E W I N T E R M E D I A T E

“POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTIONS AND SUPPORTS”

Ho Ho Ho! In the weeks leading up to Winter break students who make great choices, follow expectations and are respectful to those around them, might find a Santa hat hanging over the back of their chair in the morning and a candy cane to enjoy!

Each day, 2 students will be chosen from each homeroom. By recog-nizing the students who show appropriate behaviors, the staff is rewarding positive behavior with a fun incentive!

As always if you have any questions, comments or concerns about PBIS please feel free to contact your child’s teacher, Mrs. Jochimsen or Mr. Nate. On behalf of Mapleview’s staff, we thank you for all of your efforts to reinforce our community values and expectations outside of our school day.

Congratulations to all of those students for following the Bobcat ex-pectations throughout the month of November…Keep up the great work in December!

A Message From the Nurse

Is It a Cold or the Flu?

A reminder that prescription

and non-prescription medi-

cations must be brought to

the school office by the stu-

dent’s parent. All medica-

tions must be in the original

student to carry, such as an

inhaler or Epipen). A Medica-

tion Consent form must be

on file with the school office

before any medication can be

given; a physician’s signature

is required for prescription

medications. The Medication

Consent form can be found

The cold and flu are both respiratory illnesses, but they are caused by different types of vi-

ruses with different symptoms. Use this chart to learn the difference between the two. If you

or a family member is experiencing symptoms that sound more like the flu than a cold, con-

tact your doctor.

A note from Mr. Calmes:

classes, please bring them into the office. If you are not sure if I will

use particular items, please contact me. I am always looking for

people to donate items from home or work. Thank you!

Every year, KASD libraries go through a process

of weeding books. Like weeding a garden, library

weeding involves removing materials that are

blocking the use and the growth of the library.

Weeded titles are usually in poor condition, dupli-

cates, out of date, not meeting the needs of the

school, or simply not being read. It never means

that the library doesn’t value that title or author,

as often times, weeded titles are replaced with

newer editions or more popular options. By weeding the library, we enable students to

more easily find the books they need and want, and we find areas where we can im-

prove sections of the library’s collection.

As always, Mapleview’s school library will be weeded this school year. Weeded materi-

als are first offered to teachers for their classroom collections, but then we will allow

students to take home materials as well. These materials will say “discard” on them and

will have library labels removed or blacked out. Students are encouraged to keep these

at home and include them in their personal libraries.

Thank you for supporting the Mapleview’s Library!

We are encouraging school and community members to become the eyes and ears of the Kimberly Area School District in order to provide information that keeps our students, staff and schools safe.

It sometimes can be difficult to define:• Take your time to pay attention to your

surroundings and to the behaviors of others around you.

• Know what suspicious or concerning behaviors look like.

• Does the activity look strange to you?• Are you worried someone you know is thinking about hurting others or themselves?

Report it, don’t just repeat it.
