January

We hope you had a wonderful and restful winter break filled with joy and special moments with your loved ones. As we welcome 2026, we are thrilled to have your children back at school, ready to learn and grow in the months ahead.

The second semester is also quickly approaching, starting on January 22nd. It is hard to believe we are already at the halfway point in the school year! A report card will be completed at the end of the month for the first semester. An email will be sent letting you know when report cards are available for you to view in Skyward.

Please continue to make sure that your child has winter gear ready for recess. We will be outside unless temperatures are dangerously cold (feels like below 0) and we want students to be dressed appropriately to enjoy their recess time.

We encourage you to reach out to your child's teacher for academic or social support and questions. Conferences in Spring are one night, therefore reaching out more proactively is the best way to address and stay connected! Feel free to also reach out to our Music, Physical Education, or Art teachers as well!

Thank you for your partnership and dedication to your child's education. Here's to a fantastic new year full of opportunities to flourish and succeed! 🌞

Sincerely,

Kelly Schultz

Principal, County Line Elementary

Changing how your child gets home? Picking your child up early? Click here to let the office and their teacher(s) know!

Did you know that showing up for school has a big impact on student success? Even as children grow older and more independent, families play a key role in making sure students get to school each and every day.

If you need any support, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher, our office staff, or Mrs. Schultz. We are here to help!

Congratulations to Avantika for winning our School Spelling Bee!

It was a tight finish at the end between Emilia and Avantika and went 10 rounds. We are so proud of all the kids who participated in the bee. They studied, practiced bee etiquette, and bravely got up in front of peers and parents to show their hard work!
