Principal’s Corner
Our state assessment, M-Step, has started and the teachers and I are very proud of the effort put forth by our students. Please make sure to be at school on time, get plenty of rest and have a good breakfast on the day of your test.
Switzer and many other schools across Macomb County will be hosting elections for the Macomb Community College millage. Voter turnout is projected to be low so we will still have school on May 8. As additional security, we will be implementing the following extra security protocols:
- Two hall monitors will direct voters to the gym and monitor restrooms in the front hallway. Election officials and voters will only have access to staff restrooms.
- Voters will only have access to the gym. They will be guided in and out of the building by election officials and our two hall monitors.
- To minimize disruptions all classroom doors will be closed and locked throughout the day however, students schedules will remain the same. All students will have specials, lunch and recess.
- Lunch will be in the classrooms. Parents of peanut safe classrooms can assist us by sending a peanut safe lunch on May 8. If a child brings peanut products in a peanut safe room, we will have him/her join classmates in a non-peanut safe class.
- School lunch/ milk service will still be served. Turkey/ham sandwich sack lunch will be served on May 8.
- Access to the back wing will be limited to Switzer students and staff only.
- If you have any questions please contact Mr. Palmer @ 586-797-6400.
The month of May is packed with excitement at Switzer! Mrs. Crum has an action packed “Field Day” for May 25.
Our Social Studies Olympians and Science Olympians will test their skills with students from around the state on May 19th. Thank you to all of our coaches in all our programs. We have had a very successful school year thanks to everyone’s hard work.
As we come down the final stretch of the school year it is important to finish strong and keep focused. To help your student, please be sure to check the parent portal. Student grades are available online 24/7.
Looking forward to a great month!
