The primary and elementary schools have come together to have a variety of fun holiday dress up days in the month of December.  This week every day is a different dress up day.  See the attached flyer for all the days.  

Friday school will dismiss at 1:00 to begin winter break.  Please make plans if your child is a pick-up so they have a ride after school.  Students will return to school on Tuesday, January 2nd.

  • We have a mentoring program called TeamMates that matches adult members from the community to students in grades 3-12.  The pairs meet once a week for 30 minutes during the school day.  The mission of TeamMates is to Be There and positively impact the world by inspiritng students to reach their full postential through mentoring.  We continue to look for new mentors so if you are interested and would like to learn more please visit the TeamMates website at www.teammates.org.  Do you think your child would benefit from having a mentor?  Reach out to the district coordinator Ashely Hansen at hanseash@sblschools.com.

Weekly Reminders:

1.  Please notify the office if your student will be late or absent, by 8:45am.  If we do not receive a call, voicemail or email, then Mrs. Kloostra will call you.  We must account for all students absent from school.  Contact the office by email kloossus@sblschools.com or phone 712-943-5563 option 2.

2.  If your child is leaving early from school, they will not be called to the office until you arrive.  This way we keep them in class as long as possible in the event you are running late to pick them up.  Advance notice to the office will help us locate your student more quickly.  Coming 5 minutes early will also help get your child out the door on time when leaving early.

3.  If your child goes to The Warrior Y Club after school and will not be going on a given day, please call and let them know. 

4.  At times seconds may be served during lunch.  Seconds and extra milk or milk with cold lunch is not covered under the free or reduced lunch program.  Students must have money in their accounts for those extra items.  

5.  Breakfast is served from 7:45-8:10.  The bell rings at 8:10 and school begins at 8:15.  Students are counted tardy if they are not in their classroom at 8:15.  

6.  Winter is here so it is time to start sending a coat, hat and gloves to school daily with your child as the temperatures fluctate from morning to afternoon and day to day.  When there is snow on the ground students will also need boots and snowpants.  If you need assistance getting any of these items for your child, please contact Mrs. Lindberg at lindbshe@sblschools.com.

7.  TeamMates Mentoring Program is open to students in grades 3-12.  Mentors are always needed to help make this program a success. If you or somebody you know is interested in being a mentor sign up here.  If you would like to sign up your child to have a mentor contact Mrs. Lindberg.
