Principal's weekly message

Dear Karrer Parents:

Thank you for your patience, flexibility and support during State Testing this week. A special thanks to our RLA families who adapted quickly with our mid-day pick up procedures to allow for the safest and most efficient process as possible. We have the best students, staff AND parents, and are thankful for all of you and your collaboration!

Testing will continue at Karrer next week on the following dates for ALL students (in-person and RLA):

April 12 and April 13: Mathematics
April 15: Science for only 8th grade students

All in-person students will follow an altered afternoon schedule to attend each of their class periods after testing is complete.

The pick up time for our RLA students taking the Mathematics test is 10:30. Please follow the same procedures we outlined previously, with your child's name clearly displayed in your window. Again, a note must be received for any child walking/riding a bike. Thank you!

Please reach out to our guidance department (614-718-8512) if you have specific questions.

As always, I am thankful for your collaboration-

Brooke Menduni, Principal

student panorama survey

The Panorama Student Survey measures student perceptions of teaching and learning, culture and climate and student experience in the classroom and school. Student perceptions of their classroom experience helps identify a teacher's strengths and areas for teacher growth, while their answers on the culture/climate portion allow us to support the whole child.

Karrer MS in-person and RLA students will take the Panorama Student Survey again on Wednesday, April 14. If you wish for your child to opt out of this survey, please send an email to your child's grade level counselor by no later than 3:00 pm on Tuesday, April 13th.

6th grade: Suzanne Hicks (hicks_suzanne@dublinschools.net)
7th grade: Sarah Kleinhenz (kleinhenz_sarah@dublinschools.net)
8th grade: Katie Strayer (strayer_katie@dublinschools.net)
