Meeting Notice- Budget Hearing
Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASPs) are coming up soon. Some students can become anxious in the weeks or days before testing but a little encouragement from adults around them can go a long way in helping students walk into testing days feeling confident. Confidence can have a huge effect on how students perform. Ask your child what they are doing in class and how confident they feel about their work. Offer praise to your child when they feel confident and encourage them to continue to be excited about their success with new concepts or skills. Similarly, if your child is telling you they are struggling with a concept, topic, or skills, point out the progress they are making and positively encourage them to continue working—never give up on your learning!

Tomorrow is National School Librarian Day!

Let's give a big round of applause to the heroes of our libraries. Mrs. Welle and our paraprofessionals do so much more than just check out books; they are master organizers, tech experts, and dedicated reading advocates who inspire a love of learning in every student.

Thank you for your tireless work in creating a space where curiosity thrives and every student can find a story that speaks to them. We are so grateful for all you do!

Teacher of the Year Nomination Process
Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASPs) are coming up soon. Each building works to make a schedule for times to test while trying to not disrupt the normal school schedule. Please prioritize attendance during the days of testing. Completing make-up tests in different locations and at different times from peers is not the best setting for students to show what they know. Try to not schedule appointments or activities for days when your child(ren) will be testing.
