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!
Even our Admin Team Reads!
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.
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.”
