Hi Lemme Families,

What a week of changing seasons! We started the week feeling like summer and ended it feeling like fall! 🍂 As the temperatures begin to cool, please remember to send your child to school with a coat or jacket so they are prepared for outdoor recess.

This week, we also practiced our bus evacuation drills as a school. Our Leopards did a wonderful job listening to directions, following safety expectations, and practicing important procedures to help keep everyone safe. We are proud of how responsibly our students participated!

Fall conferences are just around the corner! Conferences will be held on November 12th and 18th, and sign-up links will be sent to families on Wednesday, October 21st. We will offer both in-person and Google Meet conference options to accommodate families.

This year, we are encouraging students to attend conferences alongside their families. We want our Leopards to have an opportunity to share their learning, celebrate their growth, talk about their goals, and take an active role in leading their conferences. We are excited for students to take ownership of their learning and share all they have accomplished!

As a friendly reminder, there is no school on Monday, October 19th.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We are looking forward to celebrating student learning and growth with you at conferences!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Proud to be a Leopard! 🐆
Mrs. Mangan

The Iowa City Community School District will once again offer influenza (flu) vaccine clinics in our schools this year. This service will be provided through a partnership with Walgreens Pharmacy.

You can view the full clinic schedule and make an appointment on our district website.

On the day of your appointment:

• Arrive at the school at your scheduled time.

• Bring your pharmacy insurance card.

• Individuals without insurance may qualify for a vaccine voucher through Walgreens and still receive a flu shot.

• Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

If you have questions about the influenza vaccine or need help registering for the clinic, please contact Walgreens Pharmacy at (319) 341-6153.

Dear Families,

For the past few years ICCSD has implemented universal screening for Social Emotional Behavioral Health for grades 3-12 two times throughout the year. Once again this 26-27 school year, students in grades 3-12 will complete the Panorama survey. Grades 3-5 survey questions are accessible here and grades 6-12 survey questions are accessible here. Consent for your student to participate was determined when you completed online registration. Students with consent to participate will complete the survey in October and again in the spring (Mar/Apr). We appreciate learning more about your student and their experience and will use this data to identify opportunities to improve how we support all students in our school. Please contact us if you have any questions about this process.

Thank you,

Mrs. Mangan

This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

Join us for a relaxed evening of pizza, play, and connecting with other school families!
