Conferences are next week. These fall conferences are a great way to see how your child is doing and what goals we have for them this year. You still have time to sign up. Email is the best way to get in contact with your child's teacher. Otherwise, a good time to call is after 2:15 pm.

Conferences are October 13th from 3:00 to 6:30 p.m. & October 14th from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

WHAT IS TITLE 1

In our Title I program, students get to learn in a supportive, small-group setting tailored to their needs. In reading, we focus on building fluency, practice decoding and blending words, and mastering "heart words." In math, we practice identifying numbers, working on number sequencing, and strengthening basic addition and subtraction skills.

HEART WORDS

First Grade: too, make, my, one, we, to, in, so, had, but, some, two, day, on, for, all, a, can, I, have, is

Second Grade: there, where, who, by, my, one, once, could, would, should, many, any, been, into

PRACTICE AT HOME

Try this quick and engaging game at home! Use your finger to gently trace a letter, sight word, or number on your child's back (or have them trace on yours). Once finished, see if your partner can guess what you wrote!

Volunteer Opportunities Are Happening—Don’t Miss Out!

We’re about a month into the school year, and NEW volunteer opportunities continue to happen across Cambridge-Isanti Schools! From special events to everyday moments that make a difference, there are plenty of ways to get involved—and more opportunities are being added throughout the year.

Haven’t completed your New Volunteer Information Form yet? It’s not too late! Take a few minutes to get yourself volunteer-ready so you can hear about opportunities that fit your schedule and interests.

By completing your form, you’ll be ready to hear about opportunities such as:

• Helping with Book Fairs

• Assisting with Picture Days and picture retakes

• Helping with school events and family activities

• Supporting classrooms and teachers

• Chaperoning field trips

• And so much more!

There’s always something happening—and we don’t want you to miss out! Whether you can volunteer regularly or only have an occasional morning or afternoon to give, your time and helping hands make a difference.

We’re so grateful for the volunteers who have already jumped in this year, and we’d love to welcome even more of you into our schools!

Students at Isanti Primary School have been enjoying wonderful autumn experiences both on site and out in the community! During recess, second graders made the most of the fall weather by playing together in piles of leaves. Meanwhile, kindergarteners went on an exciting field trip to the Elmstrand Pumpkin Patch, where they learned about how pumpkins grow and explored the patch outdoors.

ARRIVAL: For students being dropped off at school, the car line is located at the north end of the building (in the back) from 7:15 to 7:25 AM. Once the buses arrive, the drop off line ends and parents need to park in the gravel parking lot to the northeast of the building. Our crossing guard crosses parents and students from 7:15 - 7:30 AM to enter the building. The back doors lock at 7:30 AM. After 7:30 AM, students need to be brought to the front office (Door 1) for check in.

DISMISSAL: At 2:05 PM, students who ride the bus will be dismissed and buses will leave by 2:10 PM. Parent pick up, at the north end of the building, begins immediately following the exit of the buses. We will once again be using the car line code system. Only Compass Learning and Little Sprouts daycare buses will be in the front of the building to pick up students who attend their childcare centers. Walkers who reside south of IPS are dismissed to the front. Walkers that live north of IPS are dismissed out the back.

This year you will see a slight change with our parent pick up form. You will see the primary spot to put your child’s 4 digit Car Line Code number and under that you will see a 2nd Step "word" Code. The reason for this change is to ensure a safe pick up process. The word code verification is another layer similar to the two-step process you experience on other platforms when logging in.
