Message from the Principal

Report Cards: Today was the end of the first semester for elementary students. Second marking period/first semester report cards and IREADY family reports will be sent home on Friday, January 17, 2025.

Winter NWEA Testing: Winter NWEA testing will begin next week. Teaching and support staff use this mid-year data to determine whole group and small group instruction while also monitoring progress towards end of year achievement goals.

Winter Carnival Date Change: Our PTO Winter Carnival will take place on Wednesday, February 5, 2025. More details coming soon.

END OF DAY CALLS and PICK UPS: You must call the office by 3:00 p.m. to make arrangements for your student to go home a different way. This is a policy that we have had in place and unfortunately have to enforce. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

OUTSIDE RECESS: Please dress your student appropriately for the cold weather. It is our district policy to go outside for recess unless the temp is below 10 degrees w/windchill.

BUS RIDER PARENTS: Please have your student(s) at the bus stop 5-10 minutes early so that our bus drivers can stay on schedule in order for our schools to start on time. Thank you for helping.

DRESS FOR Winter WEATHER: In case you haven't observed, Winter is here. Winter hats, gloves, boots and coats are needed. It would also be ideal if you send your little ones with snow pants.

SICK CHILD: Please call the office and report that you are keeping your child home due to illness. The Cass Van Buren Health Department requires schools to report illnesses every week.
