June 2025

Notes from the Office
Happy June! What a wonderful school year it has been. This year has brought so many moments of joy, laughter, and success. We are tremendously proud of the grit our students displayed day in and day out. They inspire us with their courage, resilience and determination. The end of the school year is always bittersweet as we reflect on the successes and new friendships while preparing to say farewell to those that have brightened our days. We are grateful to all of our completers for allowing us to be a part of their journey. As you know, Assistant Principal, Brian Jex, has transitioned to a new role as the Assistant Principal in the Secondary Autism Program. While we're excited for Mr. Jex and this new opportunity, we'll certainly miss his leadership and presence in our school community. Our new Assistant Principal Ms. Julie Master has joined our team and we are thrilled to have her! Ms. Master brings over twenty years of experience serving students and families with special needs, most recently in the Secondary Autism Program within the Macomb ISD. Her commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive classroom environment aligns with our school's mission to provide a high-quality education to all students.
Thank you to all those who contributed to Staff Appreciation Week sponsored by the Parents and Friends of Glen Peters non-profit organization. Your efforts made the week truly magical for our Peters team and we are grateful for the support from so many families.
Congratulations to all the MISD Special Olympics athletes that participated in MATP and State games. You've shown us the true meaning of perseverance, teamwork, and joy in competition. You're champions in every sense of the word!
The last day of the school year for our student in our MOCI program will be Tuesday, June 17th. Students in our SCI and SXI extended year program will remain in session until June 26th. Please see the calendar to the right for more details.

PBIS Updates
We had an exciting year of PBIS assemblies and social-emotional learning! It was so much fun exploring our feelings and learning about the 3G’s of Peters. A big thank-you goes out to all the parents who attended our assemblies and supported our program by purchasing holiday grams—your participation is truly appreciated.
We will be handing out popsicles on June 12th to celebrate! We're looking forward to next year and continuing to grow our program. See you in the fall!
Stay safe and enjoy your summer!Stay safe and enjoy your summer.

Notes from the Nurses
As summer approaches, so do the mosquitoes. While most mosquito bites are just an annoyance creating itchy bumps, some mosquitoes can carry diseases, and in some cases can be serious. It is important to keep you and your family protected. While there is no fool proof way to stop mosquitoes from biting, there are plenty of ways to minimize exposure. To protect against mosquito-borne disease it is recommended to use insect repellents. These are products that contain DEET, picaridin or oils such as lemon, eucalyptus, or citronella. Other methods of protection include covering up when outside, mosquito proofing your home, and getting rid of mosquito breeding sites. This summer use these preventative tips to stay protected and enjoy outdoors!

Hello from Miss Jean’s Elementary/Middle School SCI Room!

Wow….it’s hard to believe we are almost at the end of the regular school year! And what a year we have had! This weather is changing for the better and we are so excited! We have been very busy with our classroom projects and lessons. This year, although we didn’t take on a theme, each week we are focusing on our Scholastic magazine subjects, etc. and doing things related to each article. Every two weeks we do a cooking activity so students can use their senses to experience the activity. The students are really enjoying it and we are also learning about new foods. We also work with various sensory activities for students to listen, touch, taste, and smell.
Each week we have music with our music therapist, and I have to say this is one of their favorite times. I wish I knew how to play the guitar, as it is so calming and enjoyable for them all. Along with that, we are working very hard on IEP goals/objectives including speech/communication and our social emotional goals. As we take part in structured activities, we are working on these goals.
Bring on summer!! We are ready!

Hello from Miss Kyle’s Early Elementary SCI Room!

Wow! What a wonderful year it has been! Room 111 has been so busy with our littles getting out and about in the community and taking advantage of new experiences. We have traveled to the Westview Apple Orchard, the Clinton-Macomb Public Library, McDonalds, the Clinton Township All Inclusive Playground, The Rink and Underground Dance Company! In between all of our wonderful visits, we have been working hard on our school readiness skills like attending to therapies, circle time, story time and music therapy! All of our students have made so much growth this year and it is a privilege to work so closely with them and see how much we are capable of! We look forward to a fun filled summer in the sun and splash pad!

Hello from Miss Bridget Transitional SXI Room!

As summer quickly approaches, we await the beautiful weather in store for us. Our class cannot wait to get outside and enjoy the outdoors at our Squirt Zone and back trails. We want to give a huge thank you to the Parents and Friends of Glen Peters School Non-Profit Organization for putting on an amazing Teacher Appreciation Week. The Wicked theme was so creative and we truly enjoyed the candy bar and tasty food you prepared for us. The appreciation was felt all the way to our hearts!
We have a few summer CBEE trips planned during July and August. We are planning a picnic at George George Park and an ice cream tasting at Partridge Creek. Hurry up Summer! Our class has a singular completer this year. Congratulations to Jake C. on his completion from Peters. Our class, school kiddos, and staff, wish you amazing future
experiences and new friendships on your next adventure. Enjoy your summer everyone!
