Quote of the Day: 💛🦅💙 It’s a normal response to put a grumpy, rude person in their place these days - a lot of times we feel we are in the right to do so. Try responding with kindness and love. It’s exactly what they are missing & exactly what they need on a bad day.

To: Our Jackson County Community From: Jackson County Superintendent Association Re: Return to School Planning Date: July 25, 2020 The Jackson County Superintendent Association has been meeting regularly throughout the summer to support each other and work collaboratively on developing safe, responsive, and educationally sound plans for returning to school this fall. This is very challenging work, but know we are committed to making sure every student has the opportunity for a safe, quality educational experience and every staff member involved in providing that experience is supported and provided a safe work environment. Each district is working with their staff members to develop plans for in-person instruction, on-line instruction and the ability to move between these options depending on the extent of the Covid virus and/or mandates from state authorities. Districts are also partnering with the Jackson County Health Department to make sure we are benefiting from their expertise. Because each district has unique capabilities and challenges as they meet the expectations of their constituents, not every district plan will look exactly the same. Therefore, you can expect that specific information concerning your district’s plan will come directly from the district your student is attending. However, all districts are coordinating their efforts to make sure an individual district plan does not prevent a student from having access to a countywide, center-based option such as the Jackson Area Career Center. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we take this time to work with our staff members on developing these plans. We also invite your input and hope you will participate in the various surveys that have been sent out by districts/schools. All school employees take very seriously the trust you have put in them to provide your students with the best possible education. While the coming school year will not be without its challenges, your local districts are approaching their planning with optimistic enthusiasm, and look forward to serving your children and the greater community. Sincerely, Dr. Pamela Campbell, Columbia School District Ms. Rebecca Hutchinson, Concord Community Schools Ms. Sandy Maxson, da Vinci Schools Mr. Stephen Doerr, East Jackson Community Schools Dr. Ryle Kiser, Grass Lake Community Schools Mr. John Denney, Hanover-Horton Schools Mr. Kevin Oxley, Jackson County Intermediate School District Mr. Jeffrey Beal, Jackson Public Schools Mr. Brady Cook, Michigan Center School District Mr. James Graham, Napoleon Community Schools Mr. Geoff Bontrager, Northwest Community Schools Mr. Bob Cassiday, Springport Public Schools Mr. Scott Leach, Vandercook Lake Schools Mr. Michael Smajda, Western School District

Quote of the Day: 💙💛🦅 - Savanna Spindelman 🌟"Almost every successful person begins with two beliefs: 1 - The future can be better than the present, and 2 - I have the power to do so"🌟 During times like these, we all need to look toward the bright side, and understand that we all have the power to make the future better than the past ever was. It's easy to fall into a rut, and feel like you are powerless, or that things may never be the same again. But we all have to believe and use the power that we have to design our own destiny. I found this quote today and it really hits home with what the world, and I personally, am dealing with during this pandemic: "Be stubborn about your goals, and flexible about your methods" When you set a goal for yourself, you must follow through with it - but sometimes that goal is not achieved the same way you believed it would when you first made that goal. That is perfectly alright - The world is constantly changing, and so are we. You never know; maybe you will find that you can dream larger or you can find a more specific dream/goal to follow. The world is ours, we all can make it into whatever we want - and a little bump in the road will make those who believe in their dreams to believe much stronger in their dream, and to focus on it harder than ever before. Keep dreaming and keep setting goals for yourself. Anything is possible 🌟

From Ryan Irvine: Whether you were a knuckle head or a straight A student, we all had a few special faculty members throughout our school years. For me, one of those special people was a little lady that is tougher than nails & sweeter than pie ( Mrs. Lois Little )... Mrs. Little broke her collar bone a little over a month ago & is healing nicely. I am sure she would love any cards from faculty members & former Brooklyn elementary students that knew her. If you are in the spirit of putting a smile on her face go ahead & send her one. Her address is, 7300 cement city Rd/highway.

SENIOR BASEBALL PLAYER HIGHLIGHT Lucas has been a mainstay in left field for & was looking at being our #3 pitcher this year. Lucas is a hard worker who always worked to be perfect. Lucas was looking to be a big part of a successful season & his senior leadership will be missed.

A Teacher for All Seasons By Joanna Fuchs A teacher is like Spring, Who nurtures new green sprouts, Encourages and leads them, Whenever they have doubts. A teacher is like Summer, Whose sunny temperament Makes studying a pleasure, Preventing discontent. A teacher is like Fall, With methods crisp and clear, Lessons of bright colors And a happy atmosphere. A teacher is like Winter, While it's snowing hard outside, Keeping students comfortable, As a warm and helpful guide. Teacher, you do all these things, With a pleasant attitude; You're a teacher for all seasons, And you have my gratitude! THANK YOU TEACHERS FOR ALL YOU DO!

Walk along the path leading deeper in the valley past cows grazing with the bells around their necks gently ringing in their slow movements.

Take a minute - and imagine the beauty of the Switzerland.” - John Lauterbach

Quote of the Day: 💙🦅💛 ##ColumbiaStrong #ItsAGreatDayToBeAGoldenEagle

This post celebrates a wonderful young lady who’s life is memorialized in a scholarship. Donate or apply: Today is Manda’s 39th birthday, and her 5th birthday in heaven. It is bittersweet. I smile to think of Manda in God’s glory where there is no more sadness and no more pain. Selfishly, I miss her. She is my first thought as I wake up and my last thought as I drift off to sleep. When I feel myself sinking into grief, I sense Manda’s disapproval and admonishment to pick myself up and to live in her honor. Today I will mourn, but I will also follow the advice to “be the things you loved most about the people who are gone.” Cheryl Strayed said, “You go on by doing the best you can. You go on by being generous. You go on by being true. You go on by allowing the unbearable days to pass and by allowing the pleasure in other days. You go on by finding a channel for your love and another for your rage.” Terry and I will go on by volunteering, donating, giving blood, and practicing random acts of kindness. In the past three years, we have awarded 18 scholarships to 10 Jackson County women attending U of M and majoring in a STEM discipline. Rachel Rudd, a three year recipient, will graduate this year with a degree in nursing. Manda would be so proud. Today we will begin taking applications for next year’s scholarships to be awarded on June 1. See Amanda J. Mierzwa Memorial Fund at charitysmith.org to apply or to make a contribution. Because we are social distancing this year (Manda would have a whole lot to say about those who aren’t😂), we are going to plant a hillside of wildflowers. Manda loved gardening. ”Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leaves you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing and listen as heaven whispers, ‘Do you like it? I did it just for you.’

Staff members will plan for student learning by building on students strengths, interests and needs, and use this knowledge to positively affect learning. Staff members have established student centered routines and structures for consistency and for the balancing of think time, work time, and play time for health and well-being. Staff members will contact families in a partnership to support student learning through ongoing communication and collaboration. Equity and Access: Columbia School District is dedicated to equity and access for our students. Columbia School District has focused on planning and delivering content in multiple ways so that all students can access learning. Teachers will review content from the first three quarters of instruction. New content will be presented as a challenge or enrichment. The content based upon their knowledge of each student, content area standards, and the Michigan Merit Curriculum. Teachers will use a flexible approach to instruction by using various tools and resources that will be available to students. Alternate modes of instruction will include the use of online learning telephone communications, email, virtual instruction, videos, slideshows, project-based learning, use of instructional packets, or a combination to meet diverse student needs. Columbia School District puts a priority on partnering with families. Teachers will work to engage families to help support their students as they access the educational learning opportunities. Assess Student Learning: Columbia School District teachers will work to manage and monitor the plan for student learning to focus on what is next for the children including the potential need for summer and supplemental learning. Teachers will use a variety of strategies to monitor, assess, and provide feedback to students about their learning. Teachers will use previous formative assessment results to guide their reflections of the effectiveness of their instruction and facilitate the direction for additional student learning. Communicate with families about previous assessment results in order to inform next steps and the potential for supplemental summer learning.

Columbia School District will be open tomorrow, March 13th and will follow the Governor’s directive beginning Monday, March 16th.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 12, 2020 Contact: BrownT56@michigan.gov Governor Whitmer Announces Statewide Closure of All K-12 School Buildings School building closures will last Monday, March 16 through Sunday, April 5 LANSING, Mich. -- Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced that in order to slow the spread of Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Michigan, she is ordering the closure of all K-12 school buildings, public, private, and boarding, to students starting Monday, March 16 until Sunday, April 5. School buildings are scheduled to reopen on Monday, April 6. As of tonight, the number of presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 in Michigan is 12. “This is a necessary step to protect our kids, our families, and our overall public health,” said Governor Whitmer. “I am working with partners across state government to ensure educators, parents, and students have the support they need during this time, and to ensure our children who rely on school for meals have access to food. I know this will be a tough time, but we’re doing this to keep the most people we can safe. I urge everyone to make smart choices during this time and to do everything they can to protect themselves and their families.” “Closing our K-12 school buildings is the responsible choice that will minimize the risk of exposure for children, educators, and families and mitigate the spread of coronavirus,” said Michigan State Superintendent Michael Rice. “The Department of Education will continue to work closely with our partners in state government to help our students and educators in each school district get through this time. This is about protecting the most people in Michigan.” Governors across the country, including Mike DeWine (R-OH), Andy Beshear (D-KY), and Larry Hogan (R-MD), have taken similar steps to close schools and ensure the protection of children and families in their states. “Closing our school buildings is the smart thing and the right thing to do for the public’s health,” said Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Chief Deputy for Health and Chief Medical Executive Dr. Joneigh Khaldun. “These actions will help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in Michigan. I will continue to work with Governor Whitmer and our four COVID-19 task forces to ensure we protect our children, our families, and our communities.” Patients with confirmed infection have reportedly had mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of: Fever Cough Shortness of breath The best prevention for viruses, such as influenza, the common cold or COVID-19 is to: Wash your hands often with soap and warm water for 20 seconds. If not available, use hand sanitizer. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or upper sleeve when coughing or sneezing. Avoid contact with people who are sick. If you are sick, stay home, and avoid contact with others. Information around this outbreak is changing rapidly. The latest information is available at Michigan.gov/Coronavirus and CDC.gov/Coronavirus. ### STAY CONNECTED: Visit us on Facebook Visit us on Twitter Sign up for email updates SUBSCRIBER SERVICES: Manage Preferences | Unsubscribe | Help This email was sent to pamela.campbell@myeagles.org using GovDelivery Communications Cloud on behalf of: Michigan Executive Office of the Governor · 111 S.

This comes from the State of Michigan: Michiganders have been preparing for COVID-19 for weeks, and all individuals should continue to take the following basic personal-hygiene measures to prevent the spread of the virus: • wash your hands often with soap and water or use hand sanitizer; • avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands; • cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing; • avoid handshakes; • avoid contact with sick people who are sick; and • stay home when you are sick.

Recently a parent reached out to our administration staff regarding the Corona virus. This communication is to help all of our families understand what we are doing regarding all viruses, including the corona virus and influenza: Our custodial staff has completed two different deep cleaning and disinfecting efforts covering touched objects and surfaces in every school building. We plan to continue this process. These deep cleaning sessions take place when the students are not in school to ensure we are able to cover all school areas. Through our involvement in MASA, Columbia is staying up to date on the state-wide discussions taking place regarding this important issue between MDE, the Department of Health and Human Services, and other organizations. We believe that it is important for us to stay on top of any new information regarding prevention of the Coronavirus. . We will be sending reminders in our monthly newsletters about the importance of keeping students home when they are sick and information regarding proper hand washing strategies.
