March is National Reading Month and to celebrate, Ivy Stockwell Elementary School is holding a school wide contest! Grades are paired to compete against each other to see which grade level can read for the most amount of time! Kindergarten vs 1st grade, 2nd grade vs 3rd grade, and 4th grade vs 5th grade.

This year the winning grade level will win a snack party and the top readers from each grade (K-5) will earn 1 poster prize!

Be sure to record your minutes using the Google Form links: Kinder VS 1st ; 2nd VS 3rd ; 4th VS 5th
Last year in 2023 the school read for over 324,000 minutes (2022: 256,000 minutes) with 1st, 2nd, and 5th grades winning the snack party!

Feel free to email courtney.robinson@tsd.org with any questions!

Happy Reading!

Dear Families,

Thank you so much for your participation in student led conferences. The students took pride in preparing and sharing their learning! We strive to ensure you understand your child's progress. We welcome feedback to help us with our continuous improvement processes and make everyone's experience the best they can be.

Thank you for taking the time to share the strengths and areas for improvement with Ivy's student led conference experience. Here is a link if you would like to provide input.

The yearbook staff invites you to contribute photos for the yearbook. We'd love to feature your great shots of school events. Please email your photos - along with a brief description of the event - to anakemp27@gmail.com.

Thank you so much for the delicious taco bar dinner. Our families are so generous and caring. We really appreciated it!

Thank you so much for all of the generous donations for the Birthday Bags! Ivy families ROCK!

March 15th will be the last day before we donate the abundance of items in Ivy's Lost and Found. Thank you for checking. All of the items there do belong to someone in our school. :-)

Our 3rd - 5th graders will be taking the CMAS assessments from April 9-18. Please prioritize your student's attendance during these days and plan appointments around these dates. Students will take one test in the morning and one in the afternoon. This will allow most students to finish the assessments in one week, rather than two. Thank you!

Annual Family Check-In (AFC) is required for ALL current students in Thompson School District. Families are required to have a parent or guardian in the current student’s primary household review and sign permission forms and update (if needed) the student’s household information, emergency contacts, and health information. Annual Family Check-In is located in the Parent Portal Account. For assistance, please contact Portal@TSD.org.

Please click on "More" in your Parent Portal Account for the AFC Link, then select Begin Registration.

Berthoud Chamber of Commerce is offering our students an amazing opportunity!

Lemonade Day is a community-wide educational program that provides youth with the opportunity to learn how to start, own and operate their first business - a lemonade stand. Students will be provided with free educational materials through the support of generous local sponsors. With the help of a parent, teacher, or mentor, they are taught how to set goals, create a product, prepare a budget, seek an investor, choose a location, design a marketing plan, and provide customer service. On Lemonade Day, young entrepreneurs open for business in public locations throughout the city. They keep the money they earn and are encouraged to spend some, save some for the future, and share some by giving to a local charity of their choice.

Lemonade Day is set for May 11th, 2024. The deadline to register is April 1, 2024.
