Parents,

We are continuing our Box Tops for Education and Campbell's Labels for Education collection programs for the 2009-2010 school year.  Both programs are designed to help schools to recieve various materials and supplies needed throughout the school year.  We have two collection bins placed by the front doors in front of the office.  Please have your student drop your saved Box Tops and Labels into the appropriate bins.

Every Box Top collected earns our school 10 cents and Labels for Education earn points toward purchasing new playground equipment.  Campbell's Labels are on all Campbell's products and Box Tops for Education are found on hundreds of products including Zip Lock bags, Kleenex, Cheerios, Betty Crocker and Pillsbury products, Huggies, Yoplait yogurt, Hefty products and many more.

Please check the PTSA page for more information about this program or refer to the letter sent home recently with your student.

Second quarter Parent/teacher conferences for students in grades K-5 will be held on the evening of Thursday, January 14 from 4:00-8:00 p.m. Kindergarten conferences will be held during school hours on Friday, January 15.  We have not scheduled a conference time for each student, but only for ones who are new to Iowa, are experiencing academic or behavioral difficulties or by parent request.  If you have not received a letter from your child's teacher requesting a conference, but would like to schedule one, please contact your child's teacher immediately.  Spaces are limited and conferences may be conducted the classroom teacher, a teaching team, specialists or specific academic area teachers.

Please note there will be no school on February 4, 5 or 15.

Parents may now access their students APS records through computer kiosks at the Aurora Town Center, located on Alameda Avenue and I-225.
