New Announcements

COVID Protocol Changes -We would like to share some upcoming changes to our current protocols around COVID. We will continue to closely monitor positive cases, please continue to communicate with the school if your students are experiencing any symptoms. All plans are subject to change pending rising cases. Here are our upcoming changes:

Lunchroom: By Monday, March 7th we will have all students eating in the cafeteria each day. We will not allow adult visitors during our lunch times.

COVID Exposures: We will continue to notify families of COVID exposures by class and through email.

Thank you for working with us as we work to support student health and safety!

Spring Conferences - We are excited to welcome our families and students for student led conferences on March 8th (4:00-8:15) and 10th (1:00-8:00). We ask our students to attend conferences with our families as we work to involve them in sharing their learning. If you still need to schedule a time, please call the school at 319.553.2950. It is our goal to meet with every student and family!

Are you ready for the return of Wacky (Not So) Winterfest? The annual Wacky Winterfest Fun Fair and Raffle Fundraiser will be held this year on Saturday, April 30th from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. We are excited to have our yearly family friendly school carnival return! The event is an opportunity to help us raise funds to support our school. Our current goal is to raise money to buy books to be used to support reading instruction for our students. Our students will have the chance to sell raffle tickets to friends and family for prizes as well! Please read the attached letter for more information and opportunities to help! 

Please help us with our lunch order! If your student has an appointment and will arrive at school late, please let the office know before 9 AM what they would like for lunch. Thank you!

This is a friendly reminder that we will open our doors for students at 8:30! Please do not allow students to arrive early unless they need to report for Safety Patrol as we do not provide supervision. We are asking that students who arrive by car remain in their vehicles until 8:30. If your child walks to school, they should not arrive before 8:30 AM.

General Reminders

Face Coverings - we strongly encourage the continued use of face coverings at school. Our goal is to keep everyone in our school learning! Thank you for helping keep all members of our school community safe!

Arrival And Dismissal - we are working to help our students safely enter and leave the building. In the morning, we will ask students to arrive between 8:30 and 8:45. They will report to their classrooms. At the end of the day, we will first dismiss students by grade who ride the bus. Following this, we will dismiss students who are picked up or walk home. Our staff will walk students to the door. Our Kindergarten and 1st grade students will dismiss at their outside classroom doors, second grade will dismiss onto the east playground, third grade will also dismiss onto the east playground, fourth grade will dismiss using our main entrance doors on 8th street and 5th and 6th grade will dismiss using our 7th street doors. We appreciate families making and following consistent after school plans. Thank you for helping us support safe morning arrivals and afternoon dismissals!

Snacks and Birthday Treats - We are proud to be a Blue Zones school and encourage healthy choices when students bring food for their daily snack. In addition, to support safety this school year when celebrating birthdays, we will ask for families to bring prepackaged items to minimize handling. Thank you!

See you next week!
