Save the date! - Christmas Caroling will take place on Friday, December 20 from 2:30- 3:30pm. Family members are invited. Parents will be able to take their student(s) home after caroling, we just ask that you wait until the bell rings at 3:45pm.  Thank you!

Girls on the Run Update - We currently have 3 girls registered for Girls on the Run. We need at least 6 to have a team. If your daughter is interested, please register her at: www.gotroac.org Registration closes at midnight on Saturday, November 30.

Attendance, Tardies & Letters - We recently completed our 60th day of school...times flies when you are having fun! As a district, we generate attendance reports every 30 days (30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180) to ensure we are keeping accurate records and to communicate with parents as well. Students who have been absent, tardy, or left early on 10% or more of our school days are pulled in this report. In line with the policy from the Ottawa Area Intermediate School District, we send home a letter to alert families when their student(s) meet the 10% level. We are aware of the circumstances regarding students absences, but we still send the letter to ensure clear, consistent communication. Our #1 priority is to have our little Hawkeyes here at school learning and having fun. If you have any questions regarding attendance, please feel free to contact us.
