Hi Cushing Families!

Thank you for taking the time to check in on this final update of the year! As you watch this video, you'll find highlights, important dates, celebrations, end of year information, and small updates on our goals as we wrap up a meaningful school year.

As we reflect, I want to express my gratitude for your partnership and support. One of our school mottos reminds us to leave things better than we found them, and I truly believe that your child has done just that...leaving Cushing even stronger and more vibrant than when the year began.

As we wrap up this school year, please celebrate your child’s growth, and enjoy a well-deserved summer break. Thank you for being part of a great school year!

Enjoy the sunshine!

Mrs. Rach

Star Slip Winners!

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.

Cushing’s Summer Reading Program
Cushing wants to encourage your child to keep reading and learning all summer long! Click HERE to learn more about our Summer Reading Program and how to access KM Reading Resources from home.

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.

Field Trip Fees
Please log into your Infinite Campus Parent Portal to check for any unpaid Field Trip and/or Chaperone Fees.  Please make payment by the end of the school year. Thanks!

If you need financial assistance, please contact the principal. If you would like to financially assist another student with general field trip fees, you may donate using the optional fee ‘CE - Field Trip Financial Assist’ found in Infinite Campus.

Lost & Found
We have a lot of Lost items waiting to be Found.  If your child(ren) is missing something, there’s a real good chance it’s in our Lost & Found.  The next time you’re at Cushing, swing by to see if anything belongs to your family. Parents seem to have the magic touch with finding lost items.  Anything left after the end of the school year will be donated.

GALS: End of Year School Supply Collection

At the end of every school year, students are sent home with a backpack full of old and used supplies: markers, crayons, scissors, etc. Parents are then tasked with finding homes for these items or even worse tossing them, so Gals Institute thought - Let Us Do The Work!

Families can dump their backpacks full of unwanted supplies in a garbage bag and drop them off at the two Drop Off Locations.  Anything they can keep - they will, anything they can donate - they will, any trash they find - they will dispose of it! 

It's a win-win and helps Gals reduce the cost of their workshops!

We are so grateful to all of our families, staff and community who have supported the PTO this year. Your generous contributions of time, talent and treasure are unmatched. We have such an amazing community ♥️. Happy Summer to you all!

Another successful year of our Cushing X Belfre end of year event! What a beautiful day to come and enjoy the company of friends and good food. The service and entertainment of the 5th grade was such a treat!
