A Note from Ms. Sickler

Our Harvest Field Day is Friday, May 27th!  If you are interested in having your child(ren) have a field day t-shirt, order HERE.  All orders are due by May 1st.

Additionally, our third graders are taking a state assessment, MSTEP, on Tuesday and Wednesday.  The Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (MSTEP) assessment is administered to all Michigan students in grades 3-8. The assessment is untimed, and administered in an online format. Third-grade students at Harvest will take the ELA (English Language Arts) portion on Tuesday, April 26th and Math on Wednesday, April 27th.We expect our students to do their very best on these tests and therefore will work hard to establish the proper conditions inside our school buildings on the days that these assessments are administered.  On these days, our grades will be swapping specials times to allow uninterrupted testing time in the morning for our third graders.

From Dr. Laatsch’s April 22nd Community Message:

One of the key reasons that I have been communicating with the SAS Community every week on Fridays is to provide weekly Covid-19 updates. Now that we are learning how to operationalize Covid-19 within our schools, it is not necessary for me to communicate as frequently about this topic. Therefore, starting this week, my Community Message (including News & Notes) will now be sent on an “every other week” basis through the end of the school year.

So, the next Community Message (including News & Notes) will be sent out on May 6th.

Free Locker Clipart in AI, SVG, EPS or PSD

As we move into the spring season in Michigan we are encountering lots of muddy/wet clothes after recess!  Please make sure your child has an extra set of clothes in their locker, including an extra set of socks.
We are in need of some additional clothes for our office clothes closet.  We will happily take donations of size 5-10 sweatpants/leggings!

**Reminder – No School on Friday, April 15th

Free At-home COVID-19 Tests! 

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has made free tests available through their MI Backpack At-Home COVID-19 Testing Program for K–12 schools. These free, at-home COVID antigen tests are available to all staff and students enrolled in Michigan schools. Every person opting into the program will receive one at-home iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test kit which includes 2 tests. For families opting to participate, test kits will be sent home directly with students and participants can test any family member right at home. There is no obligation to participate and no reporting of results is required for this program. 

The iHealth tests are very easy to use. Click here for written guidance for using the at-home test and here for a how-to video. Click here to participate in an OPTIONAL survey from MDHHS.

To opt-in to the program, please complete the Google Form here. Tests will be distributed next week. Parents may also stop in at any building to pick up a test kit.
