I want to applaud the Tuscarora Township Police Department (TTPD) for the commitment they have shown in supporting Inland Lakes Schools and the families of our community. As community members, you have probably noticed police cars at both our secondary and elementary buildings on a regular basis. 

Chief Wagner, Sergeant Temple and the officers of the TTPD often stop at the schools to check in and provide positive interactions with staff and students. In addition, their presence helps our students feel safe.  They are involved in teaching DARE, an anti-drug and alcohol program to our elementary students.  In addition, it is not uncommon to see them eating with students, admiring student work, attending awards ceremonies and listening to a student concern. They are truly a community oriented police department. 

The TTPD has also worked closely with the school to develop emergency plans to respond to a variety of situations.  Our work on the emergency preparedness plan allowed us to react to the recent lockdown in a professional confident way. During the recent pre-cautionary lock-down, the emergency plan allowed us to respond in a fast efficient manner. 

Another reassuring aspect is their proximity to our schools. When one of our administrators has a question or needs some support from an officer, their response time is amazingly quick. They have helped us with discipline, truancy, and working with families to support student success. 

Next time you see a TTPD officer, Sergeant Temple or Chief Wagner, please thank them for supporting your children at Inland Lakes Schools! As the Superintendent, I am very grateful for the support provided by these fine men. 

Educationally yours,

Fred Osborn

Superintendent 

Inland Lakes Schools

Starting the week of April 29, Inland Lakes 7-12 building will be piloting a program to foster academic success for those not turning in assignments.

Students who are missing work will be assigned a ZAP session during their lunch period to provide an opportunity for them to make up the missing work. If students do not show up or refuse to do work further consequences will apply.

During our pilot phase teachers will place students on a ZAP list each Friday. A staff member will organize and schedule students accordingly on Monday morning for the week. Daily 3^rd period teachers will remind students that have ZAP that day for their lunch period.

Students will report directly to room 148 and students who will wish to order hot lunch will do so from the person supervising the ZAP room.

We are piloting this program during the spring with plans to refine and continue for the fall of 2013. If you should have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the building principal, Don Killingbeck (231) 238-6868 ext. 1. 

We will be cleaning up the campus on Saturday, May 4 from 9-noon.  

Lunch will be provided.

Please joing us in making ILS better and brighter.
