It looks to be like a quiet and normal week. The weather is looking good so students can continue getting outside for fresh air and to play in the snow. Lots of melting comes with warmer weather to be sure to dry your childs snowpants, coat, gloves, and boots overnight so they do not start to smell and so they are dry for recess each day.
Did You Know:
- Students earn Warrior Way tickets when they demonstrate being respectful, responsible and safe. These tickets have point values and students are working to earn a hot chocolate party as a grade. 5th grade student council members count all the tickets weekly and each grade earns a marshmallow for every hundred points turned in by their grade. The goal is to collect 15 marshmallows the month of January to earn the hot chocolate party. All three grade levels should meet this goal this week. Then a new challenge will begin in February.

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. A reminder the Warrior Y Club will be closed on late start and early out days.
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.
