White River School District 47-1

Dear Parent/Guardians: As a culmination of a long hot week, during our 1st week of schools. On Thursday, August 25, 2022, the students will be learning fire safety, fire careers, and enjoying the spray of the water to cool them off at around 2:00pm until the end of the day. If anyone wants, you may want to send a change of clothes for your students after the water fun. Thanks, and all of us staff at Norris Elementary are looking forward to a fantastic year. Brian Sieh, Principal

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION—is placed first on the Agenda to accommodate (1) a school patron who wishes to address the Board; or, (2) a patron who wishes to present a proposal or concern; or, (3) to a patron who has provided the Board Chairman with a written grievance prior to the meeting which has not been resolved after the school patron has worked through the school organization. (Working through the organization means the school patron has met with the staff member, as appropriate; and with the principal, as needed; and/or, then with the superintendent.) If these meetings have been held and the grievance remains unsolved, the Board will deal with the written grievance at its meeting. If not, the Board shall proceed, without interruption, with the other business of the Board. Personnel matters of a controversial nature, which would include students, teachers, or other persons, shall not be discussed by the Board in open session with a school patron. A school patron may request an executive session with the Board. (An executive session may be granted at the Board’s discretion; and, only after the Board’s business is concluded. This is an accommodation to other school patrons who are attending this meeting.) Anyone wishing to speak to the Board must be acknowledged by the Board Chairman. This will permit the meeting to be handled in an orderly manner. Speakers are requested to identify themselves and their topic and are asked to limit their remarks to five (5) minutes. Thank you for your attendance, interest, and participation. B-1 Joyce Glynn – MGM Coalition Survey Results B-2 Louie Krogman – Joyce Glynn Recognition C.

They are going to start the project on July 19 at 9:00 am. Show up to the football field if you are willing to help decorate the fence!
