Nixon Elementary Weekly Update

On Monday, October 2, 2023, All Cedar Rapids Community School District schools are closed with NO Champions Daycare and NO morning activities. This closure is for the safety of all students and staff.

Hello Nixon Families,

• October 9 is a No School Day: Just a reminder that we do NOT have school on Monday October 9 due to a staff learning day. Please reach out to our main office if you have any questions: 319-558-2188.
  
  
• Nixon VIP Breakfast: The Nixon PTA is hosting our annual VIP breakfast on October 11 & 12. Just a reminder that VIPs stay with their learner until 8:30 when they are able to go see the classrooms and say goodbye.
  
  
• Conferences are Coming: Last week your child should have brought home a yellow slip of paper with information about your upcoming conference on either Monday, October 16 or Wednesday, October 18. Please ask your child for the paper to double check your scheduled time. If you have a conflict with your time, please reach out to your child's homeroom teacher to reschedule.
  
  
• Nixon Food Pantry: The Nixon Food Pantry has been open for several weeks and we want to make sure YOU know about this service. We have various shelf-stable food items, as well as fresh items like fruit and bread. Please stop by on Fridays from 2:30-3:00 if you have a need for any of these items.

It's a great day to be a Bobcat!

Each month Nixon staff recognize outstanding members of our learning community by honoring them with a Nixon Learner of the Month award. We host an online assembly through Google Meet and each learner's certificate is read as they stand in front of the camera. This month, we had many outstanding learners to recognize! Congratulations to:

Loretta D., Noah L., Serenity S., Grace B., Hannah B., Myles M., Von'Netta C., Markell P., Isaac V., Charlie G., Kaleb R., Surreal D., Ethan W., Jordan S., Krishanu W., Gatlin L., Mason Mc., Autumn W., Robert M., Landon T., Sheldon P., Lily B., Casper F., Ethan L., Owen S., Catalina S., & Ellie K.

Our next expectation celebration is coming up in a few weeks, and this experience has our learners jumping for joy!

All learners with 0 office referrals between September 15 and October 25, will be able to participate in our Nixon Bounce and Slide fun on October 25th. We'll be bringing in inflatables for learners to play on as a way to celebrate their outstanding Bobcat behavior.

We look forward to live streaming that event on October 25, as well as celebrating all of the learners who were able to not receive any major office referrals that month.
