Grizzly Gazzette
Week of October 12th
Good evening Grizzly families,
This week students who took state assessments of IAR (Grades 1st-3rd) and/or ACCESS (English Learners in Grades Kdg-5th Grade) last Winter and Spring will be bringing home their test score reports. IAR assesses students proficiency in Reading and Math. ACCESS assesses a student's English Proficiency.
Since these are last year's scores, only students in current grades 4th-5th will be bringing home IAR scores and students in current grades 1st- 5th grade who are identified as English Learners will be bringing home ACCESS scores.
If your child was in a different school last year, that school should be forwarding the score report to you and you may receive it at a later date.
Ms. Pamela Zierk
Principal
LOST and FOUND items will be displayed in the front foyer during our Book Fair Family Night on Thursday, October 22nd from 2:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.
Hello Parents and Guardians,
The Nurse’s Office is seeking donations of gently used or new pants to have on hand for students who may need a change of clothes during the school day.
Students occasionally experience spills, accidents or other situations that require a clothing change, and having extra pants available helps ensure their comfort and keeps them in class and learning.
We would appreciate donations of pants in comfortable, easy-to-wear styles such as sweatpants, leggings, or elastic waist, etc:
● Girls jogging and/or leggings sizes: 5, 6, 7, 8, 10,12
● Boys jogging pants sizes: 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12
Thank you so much for your generosity and support in helping us care for our students!

🧡 October School Nurse Newsletter
Dear Families,
Fall is here, and with the change of season come new health reminders to help keep our students safe, healthy, and ready to learn.
🍂 Seasonal Health Reminders
Flu Season is Here – Make sure to cover your coughs, wash hands frequently, and stay home if you are sick. The CDC recommends everyone 6 months and older receive a flu vaccine each year.
Cold Weather Prep – As mornings get cooler, be sure your child comes to school with appropriate layers, coats, and hats.
🏫 In-School Health Updates
Vision & Hearing Screenings – These will take place this month. You’ll be notified if your child needs further evaluation.
Medication Reminders – All medications (including cough drops and inhalers) must be stored and dispensed through the nurse’s office unless specific arrangements have been made.
📞 Nurse’s Corner
If your child has a new diagnosis, updated health plan, or needs support for allergies, asthma, or other conditions, please reach out. Working together helps keep every student safe and cared for.
Wishing you a safe and healthy October!
