K-5 families are invited to join us for a night of STEAM fun on Tuesday, October 24th from 5:30-7:00 pm.  Families are encouraged to stop by the K-5 classrooms to take part in a variety of hands on activities and visit the MS Gym to enjoy a snack provided by the LSCEFF. As students and families participate in activities throughout the night, they will fill out their raffle cards. The raffle drawing will take place during morning announcements on Wednesday, October 25th. We hope you are able to join us for this fun family night! 

From October 16th-19th our 5th graders attended School of the Wild. This was a four day program where the students visited Jacob Krumm and Sugar Creek Preserve each day. They spent time learning outdoor survival skills, hiking, studying ecosystems, and identifying wildlife. Students also got the opportunity  to go kayaking, fishing, and learned how to start their own campfire. This was an incredible experience for our students and we are very thankful for our partnership with the Jasper County Conservationists!

Parent-Teacher Conferences are a great opportunity to communicate student progress and discuss ways school personnel and families can work together to help our students have a positive educational experience!

We are in the process of getting conferences scheduled for our K-6 students and any 7th/8th grade students new to the district.  Thank you for filling out the surveys to share the dates/times that would work best for these important conversations. Information will be coming home soon to communicate scheduled conference visits.

As a reminder, middle school teachers will be available both nights from 4:00 to 8:00PM for conversations about all students in grades 6-8.  We encourage all middle school parents to stop by to visit with our staff and pick up your child's report card.

We value these opportunities to partner with families and hope to see you at conferences!

Fall has definitely arrived and our students are making the most of it during their time outside on the playground.  As colder weather begins to make its appearance, please take some time to double check that your child has what is needed for a variety of weather conditions.  It will be time for snow pants, snow boots, hats, gloves, winter coats, etc. soon and we want to make sure the kids can comfortably enjoy their time during recess.  If your family would benefit from assistance in providing cold weather items for your child, please contact Teri Bowlin, PreK-8 Principal, or Michaela Gunsaulus, PreK-5 Guidance Counselor.  We would be happy to work with you to make sure those needs are met through our Student Assistance Fund and all communication would be kept confidential.
