Principal's Newsletter - October 2nd, 2025
October 2nd, 2025
As we settle into the new school year, I want to remind everyone of the morning drop-off procedures to ensure a safe and smooth start to each day. Please note that the school day begins at 8:10 a.m. Students arriving through the front entrance after 8:10 a.m. are considered late and may be marked tardy for the day in PowerSchool.
Drop-Off Details:
Drop-off begins at 7:55 a.m. unless your child is enrolled in Circle of Care.
Please use the designated drop-off lane on Washington Street. Drive to the end of the drop-off lane, where students can safely exit the car and walk to the playground.
A staff member will be stationed at the corner where students should be dropped off.
Please do not pull around the corner and park behind the bus.
Important Reminders:
Do not park in the drop-off lane and walk your child to the playground. This lane is reserved for quick drop-offs to keep traffic moving efficiently.
If you wish to walk your child to the playground, please park on 7th Street or in the Methodist Parking Lot.
If you are parking on the street or in the Methodist Parking Lot, please walk your children or have them walk across the street using the crosswalk at the corner of 7th and Washington. This is important for student safety.
Do not park in the bus lane on the north side of the playground.
Following these guidelines will help maintain a smooth drop-off process for all families. If you arrive late, please have your child enter through the main door of the school.
Thank you for your cooperation and support in ensuring a safe and organized morning routine. These details all help provide for a safe dismissal time for all.
Blessings,
Mr. Wieber
First United Methodist Church is asking that we not use their church parking lots on Friday, October 3. The UNI homecoming parade committee will be using both lots on Friday to decorate and stage the golf carts that will be in the parade on Saturday. Thank you!
Our next Volunteer Night at the Northeast Iowa Food Bank will be on Thursday, October 2nd, from 6:00–7:30 P.M. If you’d like to join us, please contact Erin Youngblut at erinyoungblut@gmail.com
This is a great opportunity to give back to our community, and it also counts toward service hour requirements for students in grades 5–8. Volunteers of all ages (Kindergarten and up) are welcome!
Fire Prevention Week is October 6th through the 10th. This year's theme is 'Charge into Fire Safety." Students will once again have the opportunity to create grocery bag posters about this years theme. Bags will be going home with students the last week of September, and are due back to school by October 6th. Cedar Falls Fire Rescue will also have an open house on October 8th from 4:00-6:00 p.m. and students are welcomed to return their poster to the fire station at that time, or they can return their poster to the school office.
We will no longer utilize Revtrak. If you have their site bookmarked, please update to the EZSchoolPay site.
Check out our apparel store with Iowa Sport Supply to help with school approved uniform needs. All orders are placed directly through Iowa Sport Supply and take 3-4 weeks to be ready for pick up. Please keep this in mind as you shop for cooler weather apparel.
