Carrie Chapman Catt Award

Every school in Iowa that signs up and registers at least 90 percent of their eligible students to vote will receive the Carrie Chapman Catt Award, named after the Iowan who was a national leader in the women’s suffrage movement. Schools that register 50% and 70% of their eligible students will also receive statewide recognition.

Please encourage your children if they are 17 or older to register to vote. It is a very easy process and can be done online at at https://sos.iowa.gov/elections/voterinformation/voterregistration.html

It’s that time of year again! It’s time for Iowa’s Best Country, KIX 101.1 & Central Office Supply, a division of Minute Man, in Marshalltown to team up & PACK THE BACKPACK for area teachers! Don’t forget to remind ALL your teachers, parents & even students to nominate those teachers who go above & beyond to help out their students, classrooms, other teachers or the entire school! Every month we will pick one teacher, come to the school & surprise that teacher with $101 in school supplies of their choice from Central Office Supply! Nominating a teacher is easy, just go to www.KIXWEB.com & click on the Pack the Backpack banner & fill out the fast form. So, let’s all team up & help our area teachers! We look forward to all this year’s entries.

Pick up/Drop off @ MS/HS: The south and east entrances will be used for all students who walk or get dropped off before and after school. The west side (bus loop) will be BUS pick up and drop off ONLY from 7:00AM-5:00PM.

Please use visitor parking spots in the parking lot when dropping off or picking up students during the day.

Parents: If your student is not feeling well, the protocol is they MUST either go to the nurse or the office. We will evaluate them and then call you if we determine they need to leave. They CANNOT just text or call you.

Handbook Policy states: "If you are feeling sick in school you will need to see the school nurse and/or office secretary first. From there it will be determined if a parent/guardian needs to be notified. It is unnecessary and not following procedures when students call/text their parent/guardian before checking with the school nurse."
