Message From Principal Webb
Hello families-
Thank you to all who were able to make it to our family picnic on Monday- what a fun family event! We also had fun at our Title One/Drum Night!
This week started our district-wide FAST (Formative Assessment System for Teachers) testing for all grades K-6. These assessments are done on math and reading and the information from these screeners will help guide the next steps in supporting students.
Finally, if you are interested in volunteering in the school or by helping teachers at home please feel free to reach out to your child's teacher or the office.
Go Hawks!
Sincerely,
Kelli Webb
Family Picnic
Thank you to Pam Wesely and PTA for organizing the watermelon and emergency vehicle visits!!!
Weekend Food Program
We participate in a program called The BackPack Program. This is a partnership between HACAP Food Reservoir and the Iowa City Community Schools. This program provides a food pack of kid-friendly, non-perishable food for children on the weekends and during school breaks. This is a FREE program, without cost to families. It is also kept completely confidential – only the Student Family Advocate (SFA) will be aware of participating families. If this would be helpful for you and your children, please return the form sent home this week with your child to Amanda Mosley (SFA) or fill out the below google form.
