1st Grading Period Progress Report Grades
- In an effort to "Go Green", we will not print Progress Reports each grading period. Grades are always current and live in Skyward.
- Progress Report Grades for the 1st grading period will be posted to Skyward on Thursday, September 5
- Contact your child's teacher(s) if you have questions or concerns about your child's grades.
No Pass, No Play During Recess and Fun Friday!
In order to give the students more time to play, each team has one day a week designated for a 40 minute recess and then FUN Fridays each week for about 40 minutes. The non-recess days for your child's team will be spent doing activities during Husky Time.
New this year is our No Pass, No Play - "We Care Too Much About You to Let You Fail" Initiative!
See schedule below for Recess/ Husky Times and details about our No Pass, No Play Initiative.
Building our Social Contracts!
The students also finished building and signing their Social Contracts for each team and PE/Electives. The social contract is student-driven and the students decide how they want to be treated by the teacher, the teacher treated by the students, students treated by other students, and how students want to be treated when there is conflict! Take a look at some of the team contracts.
Students will be applying to be class greeters, leaders and team ambassadors. Affirmations, both written and verbal are coming next!

School-Wide Reading Initiative Continues!
This will be Icenhower's 2nd year implementing our School-Wide Reading Initiative where all student will be required to read a certain amount of books from several genres for the school year (more information to come from your child's Language Arts teachers)! All staff members also join in on this challenge (including our administrative team)!
Our teachers will continue to build their classroom libraries to give students and staff a wide variety of books to choose from, and any books you no longer use would be greatly appreciated!
You can drop off your donated books in either the front office or give them to your child's Language Arts teacher!
Friendly reminder about students arriving before 8:00 AM
Icenhower staff begins their duty day at 8:00 AM. Students who are dropped off before 8:00 AM will not be supervised.
The school day ends at 4:00 PM. Please make sure your student is picked up in a timely manner.
No Messages will be delivered after 3:00 PM
We understand that emergency situations can come up, and those will be handled accordingly.
Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Please follow the arrival and dismissal procedures as explained below. Parent drop off and pick WILL BE in the front, and these procedures MUST be followed to ensure the safety of our students and staff. Everything will go much smoother if everyone follows the correct procedures!
-
Students arriving prior to 8:00am are outside and unsupervised until 8:00am. At 8:00am, students enter the building and report to the gym or to the cafeteria for breakfast. The tardy bell rings at 8:30. Students not in class at this time will report to the office and sign-in as “tardy to school.”
