I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the entire Perry Community for your patience and support these last six plus years. I am retiring June 28th.
Also, thanks especially to our wonderful staff for all they do for students on a daily basis. They are the best!
As the school year winds down please check your calendar if you have students in Perry Public Schools.
Days off : Fri 5/24, Mon 5/27. Half days of school Wed. 6/5, Thur 6/6(last day of the school year).
Dates to note: Baccalaureate Sat. 6/1, commencement Sun. 6/2.
Please call your students school office if you have any questions.
The Governor signed the bill forgiving snow days that were also "declared emergency days" this past winter. Therefore, Perry Public Schools will revert to the original calendar calling for no school on Th 5/24, Mon. 5/27 and the last day of school is, once again Th 6/6. The last day is a half day for students.
I am pleased to announce my replacement has been selected. Dr. Lori Haven, currently at Dewitt Public Schools as their Curriculum Director, was selected by the Perry Board of Education to be your next superintendent as of July 1, 2019.
There will be opportunities between now and July 1st for people to meet Dr. Haven and welcome her to Perry.

Dear Parents, Students, and Staff,
This is an update about potential Perry Public Schools snow day make-up.
As of today, the State Legislature is considering various proposals that could "forgive" some, all, or none of the days school was closed due to the "state of emergency" called by the Governor of Michigan. So far there is no clear indication of what the State will do.
Therefore here are our plans, (subject to change if the legislature acts).
Monday May 24th is currently a day off on the Friday before Memorial Day. It will become a full school day if there is no "forgiveness" from the State.
Friday, June 7th will be added to the calendar as a full day of school
Monday June 10th and Tuesday June 11th will also be added to the calendar. They may be half days for exams with June 5th and 6th becoming full days of school (they are currently 1/2 days for exams).
Again, this depends upon what action the State may take.
If you have questions or concerns feel free to call me at (517) 625-3108 or email fosterm@perry.k12.mi.us
Regards,
Mike Foster, Superintendent
Congratulations to the Ramblers Boys basketball team on winning the League Championship. Their district tournament run begins tonight with a tough bout against the host Haslett Vikings. Good luck and Go Ramblers
the weatherperson has given us more to think about this week. Tonight through Wednesday looks quite "iffy" with predictions of snow, sleet, and or freezing rain.
Friday doesn't look good either but school is closed Friday and the following Monday for President's Day so we will not miss school due to weather those days.
Back to tonight. A decision will be made around five AM regarding whether or not to cancel school. If it is icy both school and child care will close. If it closed due to snowfall we will keep child care open. Evening events depend on the weather and other factors. We'll decide on them later in the day, usually around noon.
As Perry searches for a new superintendent, your input through a survey on our website is needed. Please click this link to take the survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DD2TS22
