Irmo Elementary Family Updates
#HeartoftheHive October 18-22
A Note From Your Principal
Dear IES Families,
This week we finished up our September Student of the Month celebrations, our CSI in-school field trip for each 4th grade class and also had an awesome visit from Alex Calamia, WLTX meteorologist. He was working with 2nd grade students on how to best predict the weather. It was another exciting week and the items above were just a few of the happenings in the hive. Next week, we will begin CogAT testing in 2nd and 4th grade classrooms. Your child’s teacher will communicate the specific schedule with you so that you can ensure students receive a good night's sleep and eat breakfast at home or at school. Begin thinking about your book character for our special day on October 28th (see the details below). Our bees love this day and honoring their creativity as well as their favorite books and characters.

IES 2021-2022 Book Character Day: Coming October 28th
It is time to celebrate our love of reading and our favorite book characters!
Who: ALL IES students and staff
What: Annual Book Character Day at IES
When: Thursday, October 28th
Where: All IES Classrooms
Why:To celebrate our love of life long reading and honor our favorite book characters
Important Details:
All students can participate 4K-5th
Students and staff dress up as a favorite character from a favorite book! Have fun and be creative. Outfits/costumes do not need to be fancy, elaborate, or costly. This is meant to be fun for the kids and families. Kids love it and it’s a great way to promote literacy.
It does need to be a true book character and not just a cartoon or movie character, hero, etc.
No props (distracting for instruction), no “character” face masks, or scary costumes.
This is optional and so much fun!
We hope to see our students enjoy this special, fun day!
