Message from Mrs. Uhl
We have been experiencing more and more indoor recesses. We are looking for board games and/or coloring supplies to add some additional activities for students. If you would like to donate, please drop them off to the school at the main office or to Mrs. Uhl.
BRRRRRRRRR...
We are always looking for donated coats for students to wear for recess. If you have any that no longer fit you or your child and would like to donate, please drop them off at the main office or to Mrs. Uhl.
Winter Weather is Coming!
Are you ready to receive messages from school?
Cancellations, late starts, and early dismissals due to weather will be broadcast on the Sioux City TV stations, posted on Facebook and the webpage, and text messaged and phone call messaged through School Messenger.
If you have not signed up for the text alerts, you can participate in this free service just by sending a text message of “Y” or “Yes” to our school’s short code number, 67587.
You can also opt out of these messages at any time by simply replying to one of our messages with “Stop”.
Recess:
❄️ The weather is quickly changing! ❄️
As the weather chills and soon the snow begins to fly, your child will need snowpants, boots, winter coat, gloves, and a hat to play in the snow. Children will be going outside for recess if the real feel temperature is above 0°.
Christmas Chaos Begins!
We have so many great things happening in December!
