Parent Teacher Conferences-February 24th & 25th
Parent/Teacher Conferences will be Monday, February 24th from 8:00 AM-5:20 PM and Tuesday, February 25th from 3:40-6:20 PM.
This time around, we will be using online Parent sign up. Please be looking for more information to come.
Why use an online system?
· It gives Parents flexibility and control of their conference time
· One location for parents, teachers, and staff to schedule conferences
*Due to conferences, NO SCHOOL for elementary students on Monday, February 24th or Friday, February 28th.
Kindergarten Registration
Kindergarten registration has been scheduled for March 26th & 27th 2020, and we are anxious to identify children eligible to begin kindergarten in August. To be eligible for kindergarten, your child must be five (5) years old on or before September 15, 2020, and they need to have completed the required immunizations.
If you have a student that would be of Kindergarten age but has a late birthday or may not quite be ready for Kindergarten, we do have a TK (Transitional Kindergarten) classroom. Please contact Lynn Foster at 712-279-6677 if you would be interested in TK for your child for the upcoming school year.
Perhaps you know of other children in Loess Hills school district who may be eligible to enter kindergarten next fall. If the family does not have children in our school, please inform them to call the school office at 712-279-6843 to register their child.
If your student will be 5 on or before September 15, and will be attending Kindergarten or Transitional Kindergarten in the 2020-21 School Year, you must complete the Online Pre-Registration for New Kindergarten Students, prior to your school’s Kindergarten Registration date(s).

Box Tops for Education
Every valid Box Tops clip is worth 10¢ for Loess Hills. Make sure each one has a clearly visible product acronym and expiration date.
Box Tops - New Scanning Feature
Eventually the Box Tops program will become digital-only. Participating brands are starting to change their packaging from a traditional Box Tops clip to the new Box Top label.
If you see this label, use the new Box Tops app to scan your receipt. Box Tops are still worth 10¢ each for Loess Hills. The app will find participating products purchased at any store and instantly add cash to our school's earnings online.
Hy-Vee Receipts - Cash For Students Program
Eligible receipts for groceries, prescriptions, floral, photoshop, and catering are accepted.
(No fuel, gas, postal, money order, Western Union, lottery, Quest, Mid American, bottle refunds or gift card receipts will be accepted.)
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.
