Congratulations to the 4th grade students, Miss Struck and Mrs. Hansen for the wonderful music program on Friday. Parents, thanks for the great turnout and for supporting the fine arts!

Did You Know:
- The PTO has various family events throughout the school year. Bring you family to Cone Park on February 26 for an evening of fun. See attached flyer for more information. You can also support the PTO by heading to Culvers on March 12. Yearbook sales will begin March 4th. The PTO is a new company this year to avoid any of the mishaps that happened last year. Watch for information about yearbooks. The PTO will hold a book fair once again in the primary and elementary schools during conferences. Watch your email for a Signup Genius to volunteer to work at the book fair. And finally the PTO provides meals to the primary and elementary school teachers the two nights of conferences. Monetary donations will be collected in early March. Thank you to the officers and chairs who take lead roles for the PTO. There will be an open Vice President position next year if you are interested in getting involved.

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.
