Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! We are ready to have the students together again for another great year at the Bruce School District. Students will be welcomed to the school by the staff early Wednesday the 30th of August, 2023. They will be greeted by some familiar and some new faces in the classrooms.
We have new staff in the following grades and subjects: Ann Scoles at 4K, Karleigh at grade 5, Rick Vollendorf in math, and Caroline Hickethier in HS English. We also have new support staff here this year. As paraprofessionals, we have Raya Schindler, Grace Shimko, and Jodi Sowa. We are excited to have these new faces serving the families of our district.
As the school year begins, feel free to contact the teachers of your children with any questions regarding their classrooms or classes. We are here to serve the families of the Bruce School District and will do anything to assist you and the students to have a smooth, successful school year.
As we get further into the school year, remember that all the paper and pencils you have purchased do run out, and they may need to be replenished periodically. Please check in with your children to see if they are running out. If needed, let us know, and we can provide some of these things for you. We provide breakfast and lunch to any student who wishes to eat each day.
I would like to recognize all the janitorial and custodial staff for their great work this summer. The building is in great shape and the hallways shine! We also have done a bit of work around the grounds including some concrete work outside the kitchen and in the pavilion. We also have added a new rubberized track around the football field. This will allow us to host more meets and possibly get us some regional and sectional competitions. We ask that people stay off the new track with skateboards, hoverboards, bicycles, or anything that can damage the surface.
Finally, I would like to introduce myself. I am Jeff Walsh, the new district administrator. I am in my 39th year of service in education. I hope that you learn that my goal is to be of service to any who needs it in the district. I am excited to see the new year kick-off and happy to be a Bruce Red Raider.
Enjoy the school year!
