Shimek Halloween Parade 10/31/18
Shimek will celebrate Halloween on October 31st.
The parade will start at 2:15 on the blacktop
If the weather decides not to cooperate, we will be in the gym.
The Iowa City Community School District feels strongly about the importance of transparency and community involvement. A key factor is for stakeholders to understand and stay up to date with the work of the School Board and the District's administration team.
We have created a new communication tool called School Board Update, which summarizes the discussions and actions taken by the Iowa City Community School District Board of Directors during their meetings. The newsletter will be updated after each Board Meeting and can be found on the District website at www.IowaCitySchools.org/BoardUpdate. You have the option to follow the updates and receive email notifications when each newsletter is released. To do this, click the orange button to the right of the newsletter that reads ‘Follow Iowa City Schools Board of Directors’.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Run for the Schools

Shimek Book Fair
The Shimek Elementary Book Fair is almost here! The book fair will be set up in the ELP Room from November 12-16th. It will be open for an hour after school each day, during the Fall Supper on Thursday 11/15, and all day during conferences on Friday 11/16. Stop in and purchase a book from your teacher's wish list, buy some books for the holidays, and support the Shimek Library. We look forward to seeing you there!
To make this year as successful as possible, we need your help! Please consider signing up to help us set up or tear down, or supervise the book fair after school, during one of the fall conference shifts, or during the fall supper. If you haven't helped out before, no fear, there will be someone around to help make sure everything runs smoothly! We need your involvement to make this the best book fair yet!
