A Message from Principal Webb
Hello families,
5 days left until break- wow! Can you believe it? It is going to be a jam-packed week full of 1st-grade music performance, gingerbread house building, Mrs. Dillard's reader's theatre, PBIS assembly on Thursday and PBIS whole school PJ Day celebration on Friday plus so much more.
The whole school has worked hard on demonstrating respect towards themselves, others and property over the last few weeks.
We will be focusing on respecting differences this week in our lessons. Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Kelli Webb

The new boundaries were approved during their November 27 board meeting. The updated maps can be found on the District website at the following link: www.IowaCitySchools.org/DistrictMaps. In addition, the District’s Attendance Area Look-Up links have been updated to reflect the approved boundary changes.

The links can be found on the District website at the following link: www.IowaCitySchools.org/AttendanceAreaLookUp. Junior high and high school students may also be impacted by these changes.
