Message from the Principal
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We have recently registered close to 75 students who will be kindergartners next academic year. If you have any children who are or will be 5 years old before or on September 15, 2021, please call the school to get registration information. We are looking to register all of the students who live in our attendance area first before we accept any other students who transfer. We would like to inform all parents of the final decision before we leave for summer break.
This month, our students will take the ISASP. These are State Assessments the measure the students' knowledge of math, literacy, writing, and science. Please talk to your child about the importance of doing their very best. We encourage the students to show how much they know. We want to make sure that all the work the teachers and students have done, can be reflected in how well they do on these assessments.
Another thing we want you to know is that we will have Summer School at Irving this summer. We have invited some students to attend. We have sent invitations two times and we have not received many sheets back where you notify us that you are interested in sending your child. Please call the office if you want your child to attend summer school so we can check our list of students who have been invited.
We are looking forward to getting to see the middle schools. The 5th-grade students are excited and nervous about attending a different school. Most of our students have been with us since kindergarten. That is 6 years. It is the most time they will ever spend in a school building. We will miss them.
We have seen students bring food items from home such as pop. We do not allow pop in our schools, so please do not send any pop or sugary drinks. We appreciate your help with this.
Let's Talk
An engaged community makes our District stronger. That is why we have made it easy for you to connect with us whenever it is convenient for you. We encourage you to take advantage of Let’s Talk!, our 24/7 online submission site. Reach out with your ideas, questions, concerns, and praise. To make a submission, please visit http://www.siouxcityschools.org/lets-talk/.
Communication and Preparedness
Student and staff safety is of paramount importance in the Sioux City Community School District. For this reason, the District exercises a host of crisis prevention and planning tactics. Should an emergency occur, the school notifies you through our Blackboard phone system. In an emergency, the system calls every phone number associated with your child in order to reach you. The message will give you details about the emergency and provide directions on when/where to pick up your child if the normal school day is altered. Learn more about school safety.
