Bus 30 will not run this morning. We will update you when we know more about the afternoon.
Week 22 (February 9 - 13)
This is Gloria Painter, the Assistant Principal at Iotla Valley Elementary. I am calling with some important information for this week.
This week is Bus Driver Appreciation Week. If you have a child who rides the bus, please take a moment to thank your driver for the wonderful job they do each day, getting your students to and from school.
The Musical Theater Club will practice on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Please see IVE’s social media post for ways to contribute to make our spring Sussical a success.
Our PTO will host its annual Family Dance this Thursday, from 6:00 to 7:30 in the gymnasium. Entry is free; donations of candy or candy-filled eggs are greatly appreciated. Carnations and refreshments will be available for purchase by cash or check.
This Friday is a Teacher Workday. There will be no school for students.
Lunch Snack Reminder for Families: We are noticing that some students purchase multiple snack items, such as ice cream, and then do not eat their full lunch. At this time, teachers and cafeteria staff are not permitted to limit or refuse snack purchases for students during lunch. If you would like to place limits on your child’s snack purchases, please send a written note to the cafeteria so they are aware of your preference. Snack sales do help support our cafeteria, and we appreciate your partnership in helping students make healthy choices during the school day.
Our next Data Day is February 20th.
We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.
