SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE…

SUMMER BREAK…NOT SO FAST!

SUMMER SCHOOL

Summer break means rest and relaxation for many folks. Not for everyone though! We are excited to

welcome over 130 Airport students for summer school next week. This great program is a great way for

some of our outstanding teachers to help many of our youngsters with some areas in math and reading to

help them maintain gains from the past school year and get ready for the upcoming fall. Twice a week kids

are picked up by the bus, eat lunch, take part in fun activities, and most importantly get some great instruc-

tion that improves their learning skills. This grant funded program is in its third year and has grown every

summer.

CAMPS

Airport also offers some great camps during the summer months. In addition to many of the athletic camps

that happen around campus, we also offer art and robotics camps. These week long activities are a great way

for kids to get more time with these specific activities that they really love. Our art department and robotics

team do a great job of teaching techniques and making the days full of fun activities. Many times the kids

that are participating are having so much fun they don’t realize how much they are also learning.

SUMMER PROJECTS

Airport has one of the best maintenance and custodial groups around. I say that with great confidence and

gratitude. When everyone else goes home for the summer, these employees get to work. The buildings are

scrubbed from top to bottom, the grounds are maintained meticulously, and the big list of repairs and summer

projects are tackled. Every fall it is fun to see the students and community come back to school and see some

of the great work this group has done during the summer. They have great Jet Pride!

MYLEAD CONFERENCE With over twenty excellent applicants, it was difficult to select which students to represent AHS this year at

the MyLead Conference in Lansing. The finalists headed to Lansing with anticipation and some nervous ener-

gy. They returned to AHS as confident individuals with new leadership skills and many new friends. We were

proud to once again have excellent representation at MyLead 2016. The students would like to thank Airport

Schools for helping to defray the cost of the conference. These students will share their knowledge with next

year’s sophomores and encourage them to apply for the 2017 conference.

Miranda Banks, “Everyone was so friendly, one of the best experiences of my life!”

Kayla Wallet, “ I learned how to step out of my comfort zone.”

Gaige Frederick, “Go have a fun time with the most stupendous people!”

Brianna Holliday, “I will forever remember the friendships I made, and who I am now because of it.”

PEST MANAGEMENT

ADVISORY

The Airport Community School District

utilizes an Integrated Pest Management

(IPM) approach to control pests. IPM is

a pest management system that utilizes all

suitable techniques in a total pest manage-

ment system with the intent of preventing

pests from reaching unacceptable levels

or to reduce an existing population to an

acceptable level. Pest management tech-

niques emphasize pest exclusion and bio-

logical controls. However, as with most

pest control programs, chemical controls

may also be utilized. You have the right

to be informed prior to any application of

an insecticide, fungicide or herbicide

made to the school grounds or buildings

during the school year.

Application notices will be posted at ap-

plication sites and on the Districts web

site: http://www.airportschools.com. The

notifications will remain in place until the

time is met for safe entry. If you require

prior notification, please contact us at the

address below for the proper form that

you will need to complete and return.

There are exemptions to the notification

process, they include disinfectant clean-

ers, pesticides formulated as baits or gels

and any EPA exempt pesticides. In certain

emergencies, such as an infestation of

stinging insects, pesticides may be ap-

plied without prior notice to prevent inju-

ry to students, but notification will be

made following any such application.

ASBESTOS ABATEMENT NOTICE

In compliance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Asbestos

Emergency Response Act (AERA), we performed inspections in each of our school

buildings for asbestos-contained building materials in the fall of 1988. The inspection

findings and the asbestos management plans have been on file in each school’s

administrative office since that time.

The EPA requires us to perform re-inspections of the materials every three years. In

2013, accredited asbestos inspectors performed these re-inspections. An accredited

management planner reviewed the results of the re-inspections, and recommended

actions we should take to safely manage any asbestos material in our buildings. A

new inspection will be completed in December 2016.

The results of the re-inspections are on file in the management plan located in each

school’s administrative office. The public is welcome to review these during normal

school hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM until 4:00 PM.

The Asbestos Program Manager is Dan Fahnestock. He is available to answer ques-

tions you may have about asbestos in our buildings, (734) 869-7210.

and the regulations on which this notice is

based, may be found in the Civil Rights

Coordinator’s office.

WHAT TO DO IF SCHOOL IS

DELAYED OR CANCELLED At any time during the school year it may

be necessary to cancel school or delay the

start of school due to a variety of reasons:

extremely bad weather, poor road condi-

tions, mechanical failures, or other emer-

gency situations. While this is rare, you

and your child must be prepared. Being

prepared begins with making sure your

student has a safe place to go to if school

is cancelled or delayed, i.e. they are

able to get back into the house, can go to

a daycare or to a relative or friend’s home.

If there is a two-hour delay in the morn-

ing, the school buses will pick up students

two hours after their usual pick up time

at their normal pick up location. This

includes all Airport buses. If unforeseen

events occur during the school day it

would be extremely rare to send students

home early from school. The normal

practice is to complete the school day, but

your child must know what to do and

where to go in case he or she is sent home

early. We never want to send a child

home if they do not know whether or not

they will be able to get inside their home.

Cancellations of after school events such

as games, practices, concerts or other

activities are determined before dismis-

sal.

If school is cancelled, all athletic levels

below varsity level are cancelled. Any

varsity or junior varsity athletic contest

that is scheduled on a snow day might be

played. The final decision will be made

by school administration.

HOW TO FIND OUT IF SCHOOL IS

CANCELLED OR DELAYED

You will receive a Honeywell Instant

Alert by phone, text, or email.

BUS RULES STRESS

SAFETY

The Airport Community Schools District,

geographically in Michigan, consists of 110

square miles. The vast majority of our

students use bus service to and from school.

For many students, the distance traveled is

substantial. With this fact in mind, Airport

Community Schools continually seeks to

improve bus service with the child’s safety

being a primary concern. The students are

the major factor in school bus safety.

Students need to remain seated and talk

quietly so that the bus driver can concentrate

on driving the bus.

The district’s bus drivers and administrators

work together to clarify the discipline

program used on the district buses. The

program provides:

A bus discipline program that closely

resembles the discipline procedures used in

our classrooms.

Communication about student needs and

behavior between principals, teachers, and

bus drivers.

Uniform rules and consequences for

behavior on all buses in the district.

Bus behavior may be monitored by video

camera.

Examples of Basic Assertive Discipline Plan

Rules:

Respect driver and follow directions given

by the driver.

All school rules apply.

Use conduct that will not distract the bus

driver.

All parts of the body and all objects stay

inside the bus.

No eating or drinking on the bus.

Stay in your assigned seat.

No animals on the bus.

No electronic games on the bus.

No cell phones are to be used on the bus.

Please review these rules with your child to

ensure a safe school year. Any questions please

call 734-869-7210.
