Every Day Counts! Did you know that arriving on time every day helps your child feel secure and ready to learn? When kids miss the morning routine, they miss out on crucial community-building time with their peers. Let’s make attendance a priority this year!

Safety Drills - Students and staff at all Cedar Falls schools participate in drills to continually improve our Safe School Plan. These drills help make sure everyone understands what to do in a crisis situation. Drills are practiced for fire, tornado, dangerous intruder, and off-site evacuation situations. Classroom teachers explain the purpose of the drill in age-appropriate discussions with students, and drills are clearly identified as only a drill. If you wish to opt your child out of participating in these discussions or drills, please contact your building principal. More information will be coming regarding drills.

Orchestra Parent Night Is Scheduled For Thursday, September 3rd! (https://tinyurl.com/3knc23d3)  This will take place in the Lincoln Cafeteria beginning at 6:30 PM.

Arrival And Dismissal - we want to help our students safely enter and leave the building each day. In the morning, we will ask students to arrive between 8:30 and 8:45. We will not have staff available to supervise before this time. Students are not allowed to wait on our playgrounds. They will report to their classrooms or to the cafeteria for breakfast, if needed, when we open our doors each day at 8:30 AM. At the end of the day, we will dismiss our older grades first and end with our youngest students. 

Our Kindergarten and 1st grade students will dismiss at their outside classroom doors, second and third grade will 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!
