Message From Principal Webb
Hello families!
Happy Groundhog's Day! Can you believe it is February already? The students have had an irregular schedule this past month, that is for sure. We hope that we can get back in a routine and also enjoy playing outside in the snow once the weather warms up a bit. Please be sure to sign up for parent-teacher conferences at the end of February.
I also want to remind families of our PTA meeting held Tuesday at 6:30 in the library. I will be sharing the winter testing data and a brief overview of the new "Iowa Assessments" known as Iowa Statewide Assessments of Student Progress (ISASP).
Finally, if your child is interested in participating in the Talent Show please see information below. We have extended the entry deadline.
Have a great weekend and stay warm!
Sincerely,
Kelli Webb
