While it is important to be present and on time for school every day (students don’t want to miss all the fun), Count Day is special. On this day, students all across the state of Michigan will be “counted”, which means that when a student is marked present in every class on February 11th, they are officially counted as a Carrollton Public Schools student! ❤️🤍🖤#everyCAVeveryday #theCavalierdifference #BuildingStrongerTogether

At the January board meeting, Karol Shepler was recognized with a Bridge Builder Award—an honor that couldn’t be more deserved. Ms. Shepler serves as the RTC Room Supervisor at Carrollton Middle School and has dedicated 19 years to Carrollton Public Schools, including 18½ years supporting students in the Responsible Thinking Center (RTC).

Mr. Kutsch said that to put it simply, Ms. Sheplar is at her very best when our students are having their hardest days—helping them regain control, reflect on their choices, and move forward.

And if that wasn’t enough, Ms. Sheplar also serves as the middle school parking lot crossing guard, keeping our students safe each day.

Thank you, Ms. Sheper, for exemplifying #theCavalierdifference in your unwavering dedication, patience, and care for our students! ❤️🤍🖤#BuildingStrongerTogether
