Principal's Corner
Hi Falcon Families,
To begin, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all of the moms, step-moms, grandmothers, aunts, and all of the lovely women in our community who step up and help support our Ixonia students. We could not do what we do without your support and partnership. From our family to yours, we hope that every Mom out there feels showered with love this weekend. Nobody deserves it more!
On a related note, we want to sincerely thank our PTO and our entire school-wide community for showing us so much love during Staff Appreciation Week. From the delicious bagels early in the week, to a salad lunch on Thursday, to beautiful bouquets of flowers on Friday, we were truly spoiled by our community. Please know that each gesture is so meaningful to us, from a handwritten note (the best!) to hugs and high-fives in the hallway.
This next week we'll enjoy lots of sunshine, and we'll also dive into our final round of MAPs testing for the year. You can help us out at home by making sure your kids are getting plenty of sleep, a good breakfast before school, and if you have a 4th grader, that they have a charged chromebook. As always, we love to remind our students that they can do no wrong as long as they are trying their best! We'll use these results as one factor to help determine PIE/intervention/enrichment placements in the fall.
A change next year will be that our elementary schools will not have a booster round for intervention. We'll be using this time to acclimate to new changes required in ACT 20 (still pending), and to push in support into the classroom! We will continue to have our regular rounds of intervention starting in late fall.
Have a beautiful weekend, and enjoy the sun!
Best-
-Kelly Boldt

Construction Update!
Structural steel for the addition was delivered last week and installation began in earnest. Steelwork will continue into next week before exterior walls start going up. The entire addition is on track to be enclosed before the end of the school year.
