A nnual Report to Patrons Different

than year’s past, you will NOT find the

report in this newsletter. Go to the district’s

website, www.suttonpublicschool.org, and

look for the link titled, “Annual Report to

Patrons.” It contains district information

concerning general facts, enrollments, student

progress, test scores, and financial statistics.

It is meant to communicate the status of the

Sutton Public Schools District to residents. If

you have any questions or are seeking

additional information, contact the

Superintendent’s Office, 773-5569.

W eather A decision to close school is

not always an easy one. The

weatherman can predict, but sometimes

Mother Nature has a mind of her own.

Because of this reason, know that cancelling

school for the day may be made as late as

6AM. It would be convenient if inclement

weather would strike the night before in time

to call school off by 9PM, but it just doesn’t

always cooperate.

To check on school cancellations, check the

following radio and TV stations: KAWL 1370 AM/MIX (KTMX)104.9FM (York)

Sutton Public Schools in conjunction with

Clay County Emergency Management has

CodeRed. It is a web-based Mass

Notification System that enables users to

make time sensitive announcements, like

closing school, in a rapid, reliable manner.

If you are a parent of a SPS student, you

will receive a call, text, or email.

W inter Activities The Winter Spor t/

Activity season has begun. When I

look at the calendar it is a flurry of activities,

an event scheduled in the building every

evening. Scheduling activities, meetings,

events is always a challenge and this year is

no different. We are fortunate to have a

facility that accommodates many of these

needs. Students at SPS have numerous

extracurricular activity options to take

advantage of if they so choose. With the

diversity of offerings it takes at least a year in

advance to create the school calendar. And

even planning a year out does not address all

scheduling issues, so they are dealt with to the

best of our ability. If you think I am

exaggerating, drive by the school every

evening and you’re sure to see cars in the

parking lot. Our facility is definitely being

maximized.

P reparing for 2017-2018 It’s hard to

believe, but preparations will begin to

consider the 2017-2018 calendar and budget

after the turn of the New Year. Board of

Education and the Administrative Team begin

to discuss the topics. Things to consider

include teacher professional development

days, student days, etc. The calendar creation

needs to align with rules/regulations

mandated by the state – Rule 10. The Board

of Education, Building and Grounds

Committee will meet to provide input to

budget planning.

H appy Holidays filled with food,

family and friends, faith, safe travels

and of course a little football!

C lass Wars! Students in grades 7-

12 are competing with their

classmates in the hopes of winning the

Jr. / Sr. High School Class Wars. Class

wars is used to build enthusiasm and

camaraderie amongst the students, as

well as provide some friendly

competition and fun. The 7th-9th grade

students are competing against each

other for a half day activity at the end

of the year, while the 10th-12th grade

students are competing for a full day

off from school.

Here were the class totals at time the

newsletter went to press:

First Place: 8th Grade—130 points

Second Place: 7th Grade—113 points

Third Place: 9th Grade—93 points

First Place: Sophomores—133 points

Second Place: Seniors—116 points

Third Place: Juniors—111 points

C areer Pathways are off and

running here at Sutton Public

Schools. All students at Sutton High

School are taking classes within the

Career Pathways program. Those

classes build based upon student

interest during the students sophomore

and junior years. As juniors, students

that are interested in the Internship

classes are then enrolled in out Career

Prep class, which is a pre-requisite for

the Internship classes. At this time, we

have 16 students enrolled and

participating in our Career Prep class

and 15 of those students have

registered to take part in the Internship

class 2nd semester. Career Prep will

have 11 students enrolled for 2nd

semester. Currently, our Internship

class has 5 students. Those students

have been taking part in job shadows

around the community. We currently

have 65 businesses that have decided to

participate as part of our program.

Student interest determines when and if

businesses have students that spend job

shadowing time with them. So far, the

feedback from our students has been

exceptional! They are excited about

these opportunities and have really

enjoyed this class. We are so excited to

be able to offer these types of

experiences to our students and feel so

blessed and thankful to have a

community that has embraced this

program and being a part of it. If you

have questions about the program,

don’t hesitate to contact any of the

following people: Mrs. Thompson,

Mrs. Zoucha, Mrs. Bower, Mr. Parrish,

Mr. Ramer, & Mrs. Schlautman. We

LOVE talking about our kids and this

exciting new program!

S tudent attendance at school

plays a major impact on student

success in the classroom. The more

our students can be in their classes

engaged in instruction with their

teachers, the higher we can expect our

students to be able to achieve. At

Sutton Public Schools, we know and

understand this.

However, we also know that the flu

season will hit, appointments must be

kept, and that sometimes life has needs

of its own which interfere with student

attendance. I would like to take this

opportunity to remind parents/

guardians of our students to please do

the following when your students need

to be absent from school:

1. Contact the school via an

email, phone call, or a hand-written

note PRIOR to the date in which

your student will need to be absent.

2. Encourage your student to ask

for documentation from doctors,

counselors, court houses, etc…to

document the student’s absence.

You can reach Mrs. Ulmer at

[email protected] or myself at

[email protected] for all of your

attendance needs. We thank you for

your assistance in this.

P lease remind your

students to slow down

when driving in the school

parking lots. There are a

lot of students, young and

old, who are in the lots before and after

school so students need to be cautious

when arriving and leaving. This is

especially important as the weather

continues to change and get colder and

we experience ice in the parking

lots. Thanks for your help and

encouragement of your students!

A cademically speaking, our

students have really been working

hard! At the end of the 1st Quarter, we

had 125 students make the Honor Roll

and an additional 15 were Honor Roll

Honorable Mention. The distractions

of today’s student can seem endless, as

our students are involved in so many

activities in and out of the school

setting. At times, students can feel

pulled in multiple directions because of

this.

Congratulations to those students and I

encourage all students to continue to

strive for excellence academically and

in all that they are involved in.

Aaliyah Summerville was honored at the

Commissioner’s Recognition for Student

Excellence in Career Education on

November 14, 2016, at the State Capital

Building in Lincoln, NE. Aaliyah was

recognized for placing 2nd in the Nation

this summer at the National FCCLA

STAR competition that was held in San

Diego, CA. The STAR event was

entitled: Promote & Publicize FCCLA.

She is shown with Matthew L. Blomstedt,

Commissioner of Education and Mike

Foley, Lieutenant Governor. Mrs.

Schlautman and Aaliyah enjoyed a

reception in the Governor’s Mansion

afterwards.

It is hard to believe that the end

of the semester is in sight. This has

been a good first semester and I have

greatly appreciated the work the

teachers and staff have put in so far this

year. The closer we get to semester

break, the busier things start to

get. The one big event to keep in mind

is the Elementary winter concert on

December 12th. We have an afternoon

dress rehearsal that is open to the

public on the 12th. The K-3rd

performance is at 1pm and the 4th-6th

performance is at 2pm. The evening

performance for the K-3rd grades is at

6:30pm and the 4th-6th performance is

at 7:30pm.

Our mission at Sutton Public

Schools is to educate for future success

and I want to highlight some

opportunities that our elementary

students have had above and beyond

our school curriculum that allow

students to experience things now that

can translate to a successful future.

The first is our student

council. Led by Mrs. Engle, this group

of 4th-6th graders get a chance to serve

the school and community in a number

of ways. In addition to service, they

also learn leadership skills. The

students went to the Student Council

Leadership Conference at Doane

University and listened to Curt

Tomasevicz, Olympic Gold Medalist in

bobsled. Curt grew up in Shelby,

Nebraska. To hear about how someone

from a small town went on to be one of

the best in the world at something was

incredibly inspiring for our students to

hear.

Next, a small group of 5th and

6th graders went to our Educational

Service Unit (ESU) in Hastings to work

with Harris Payne from the Nebraska

Department of Education. Students

and teachers learned about using the

power of Geographic Information

Systems (GIS). This real world

application is being used in numerous

career fields and it is amazing

to start exposing students to

it.

We will also be working with

our ESU to host an

elementary Science Olympiad

on Wednesday, November

23rd for 5th and 6th

grades. Science Olympiad is

a series of challenge based on

Science, Technology,

Engineering, and Math

(STEM). Students are broken

up into teams and must use

scientific reasoning, problem

solving and collaboration to come up

with their solution. We are piloting

this for the ESU as they hope to grow it

in the future.

Lastly, we are working with a

local business, Mustang Media, to give

students an opportunity to

see how a local business

works and take a peek at a

career in graphic design.

We are doing this by way

of a t-shirt design

contest. Each grade will

have three finalist and one

winner from those

finalist. The winner will

sit down with a Mustang

Media designer and create

their sketch on the

computer and see how

they take the computer

design and print shirts

with it. Their whole class will end of

getting a shirt with their design on

it. The winner will see the process

from start to finish. We want students

to start thinking about a career and

even possibly having a career in

Sutton. This contest helps students

think about their potential career path.

If we as a school can provide

unique opportunities for students to

grow as individuals and start preparing

them for future success, then we are

fulfilling our mission. Even though it

makes things a little busier, it is worth

it.

October 5, 2016, Family Career and

Community Leaders of America

(FCCLA) brought student leaders,

members, and advisers to Central

Community College in Hastings,

Nebraska on October 6th to participate

in its annual District Leadership

Conference. 330 FCCLA members

from 8 different chapters attended the

Conference this year. Sutton’s chapter

took 114 of its members to the

conference. Jenna Nuss served as

Sutton’s Chapter representative and

held the office of Public Relations.

The conference provided great

opportunities for the students and

advisers to come together to attend

some truly inspiring sessions. The

theme of this year’s conference was

“Piecing it Together with FCCLA” and

attendees were challenged to put

together the little pieces in life to make

the big picture.

In addition to the many learning

experiences at the conference, chapter

members were greeted by State officer

Taryn Goodban, and PEER Ed Team

officer Dylan Lase. Both officers talked

about how excited they were to attend

the conference and what exciting things

members have to look forward to later

this year. This year District #4 had the

opportunity of watching a presentation

by Revolution. Revolution was started

in 1998 by the Children’s Service

Director at the Center for Survivors. It

is a grant funded group which strives to

inform teens about the dangers of

dating violence, sexual assault, and

stalking. Revolution’s members were

high school students from Columbus,

NE. Other sessions offered were

dancing with Alex, York Women’s

prison, Alcoholism, Culinary Art,

Royal Family Kids Camp, STAR

Projects, and Nebraska State

Patrol. Jenna Nuss, Aaliyah

Summerville led the session on

Royal Family Kids Camp and

Alejandro Alarcon led the Dance

Session, Andrew Christ, Lydia

Rogers and Karis Andres also

helped with the STAR session.

The afternoon keynote featured

Sara Hinds, who recently returned

from Japan as a part of the FCCLA

Japanese Exchange Program. She

discussed what activities she did on

her trip and how different and similar

the two cultures were. She shared some

beautiful pictures and stories about her

travels.

FCCLA, “The Ultimate Leadership

Experience” is unique among youth

organizations because its programs are

planned and run by its members. It Is

the only career and technical in-school

student organization with the family as

its central focus. Participation in

national programs and chapter

activities help members become strong

leaders in their families, careers, and

communities.

The Sutton Schools Educational Foundation plays a very

instrumental role to students who intend to pursue a post-

secondary education. Last year, for example, we awarded over

$30,000 to our seniors in scholarship money. To continue this

unique tradition, the foundation needs your assistance. There

are two ways you may contribute if you so choose.

The first option is a donation to the regular scholarship fund which is used to fund the annual scholarships. The

second option is a donation to the perpetual fund. This fund has been created to one day support the scholarship fund

without requesting funds every year. The funds given to this account will be put into a CD until there is enough principal

that the scholarships can be paid out using just the interest.

We would appreciate any help you could give. You may give to the regular or perpetual fund, or both. Contributions

are tax deductible. Please indicate on your check your choice, check the line below and sign on the signature line.

May we thank you in advance for your generous donation.

Mentor Appreciation Month

January is Mentor Appreciation Month. Mentors from

the Sutton Teammates Program will be honored during

half-time of the Sandy Creek Boys Basketball game on

January 26h. Currently the program has 27 matches of

caring adults paired with students from 4th grade to

high school. The mentor meets for one hour weekly

during the school day. They enjoy talking, playing

games, learning new skills and just being together. The

Sutton Teammates Mentoring Program will continue to

grow as more adult mentors are willing to volunteer

their time to the youth of Sutton. If you are interested

in becoming part of this program please contact Kim

McElfresh or Dee Boals at 773-4423.
