Principal's Message
I continue to be amazed at the incredible work and effort our students and staff have shown! Thank you to all of you who continue to show your support and provide encouragement. It is greatly appreciated!
As you know, we teach the students to have a growth mindset. A growth mindset is based upon the work of Carol Dweck. Here is a link if you would like more information: https://www.mindsetworks.com/science/. Our psychologist, Jessica Winters, shared the graphic below with staff on Friday. I thought this would be helpful for all of you as well.
Best,
Alli Landstrom
Building Institute Day - No School
Attendance/Reporting Absences

- report the absence in ParentVUE. Please see the link below for directions: https://support.ipsd.org/support/solutions/articles/11000058927-reporting-an-absence
Meal Program in Remote Learning
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that it is extending the distribution of free meals to students through December 31, 2020. This allows Organic Life and District 204 to continue serving free meals to all children to help ensure children have access to nutritious food as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. Organic Life is offering curbside pick-up of grab and go breakfast and lunch at no cost for all students. Pick-up locations are at each elementary school near door 1, from 11 am to 1 pm, Monday through Friday, on days school is in session. No preordering is required.
PDAC Meeting
Parents are invited to the upcoming Parent Diversity Advisory Committee Zoom meeting at 7 pm on September 24. The topic of discussion will be Coping with COVID: Mental and Social-Emotional Health of our Students. Registration details will be announced soon.
