Fifth Grade Farewell Information
Fifth grade parents and families are welcome to attend our Fifth Grade Farewell Ceremony at 9:30 on Thursday, June 5. Parents & Families will be able to enter the school at 9:15.
Unfortunately, we do not have capacity for younger Cushing student siblings at the ceremony. But don’t worry - they will still be a part of this special day. Cushing staff & our younger students will give our 5th Grade Stars a proper send-off with a school-wide "clap out" prior to the ceremony. (The clap out is ONLY for students & staff.)
After the farewell ceremony, fifth grade students can take pictures outdoors with their families, classmates and teachers and leave for the day. Cushing does ask that younger siblings stay until the end of the day, which is 12:35.
Medication in Health Room
As we approach the end of the school year, it is requested that any unused medication in the Health Room be picked up on or prior to the last day of school, June 5th. In accordance with school board policy, any unused drug product that is not retrieved shall be disposed of through a local pharmacy. No medication will be returned to students or transported on the bus unless self-carry is indicated by the physician.
If your student will be attending Summer Academy, please let us know if you would like the medication transferred to the Summer Academy Health Room.
A reminder: Medication orders are valid for one school year. You can find blank medication authorizations on our website: https://www.kmsd.edu/page/forms under Health Services Forms.
If you have any questions, please contact the Health Room at 262-646-6700 x1010.
It's Tick Season
As the weather warms up and our students spend more time outside, we want to remind families to check for ticks especially after outdoor play, field trips, recess, or time in wooded or grassy areas.
Helpful tips for tick checks at home:
Check behind ears, around the hairline, under arms, behind knees, and around the waist.
Showering after outdoor time can help wash away ticks before they attach.
Wear light-colored clothing to spot ticks more easily.
Tuck pants into socks and wear long sleeves when possible during outdoor activities.
If you do find a tick, follow proper removal guidelines and monitor for any symptoms of illness. For more information, visit CDC Tick Info Page. We'll continue to monitor students here at Cushing as well.
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and healthy!
