PBIS Popcorn & Movie Reward

On Monday, April 29, all K-5th grade students and staff went to The Mills Theater in Lake Mills, IA for a movie and popcorn celebration. This was a PBIS reward of filling 75 jars as a school. We are so proud of the Bison Expectations of being responsible, respectful, and safe that they have demonstrated throughout the year!

Kindergarten Round-up

A friendly reminder there is no school for Kindergarten ONLY on Tuesday, May 7 due to Kindergarten Round-Up.

Children who will be five years of age by September 15 are invited to attend a portion of the day in Kindergarten. The incoming kindergartners will get a chance to meet each other and the teachers. They will have a number of planned activities to complete in the kindergarten classrooms from 8:30-11:30 a.m. (preschoolers) or 12:30-3:30 p.m. (K-prep). Students currently in North Iowa Preschool & K-Prep will attend as normal and will attend Round-Up as part of their day.

Those children not enrolled in North Iowa Preschool should call the school to register their child for either the morning or afternoon session.

Parents will be invited to attend a parent meeting at 5:30 p.m. in the commons on Tuesday, May 7th. They will hear presentations from the Kindergarten Teachers and Elementary Principal.

Preschool Registration

Preschool registration is open for the 2024-2025 school year.

Please share with neighbors and friends.

Registration packets are available in the elementary office. We will continue to participate in the Statewide Voluntary Preschool Program which means children turning four years old by September 15, 2024, will be able to attend the program for free.

There will be two sessions available for next year. Class sizes are limited to 20 children per session. A waiting list will be started should more that 40 children enroll. We will try to honor, but cannot guarantee which students are in the morning or the afternoon sessions. Session placement will be communicated no later than the first week of August.

Morning Session - 8:15 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday
- (Breakfast 8:05-8:15)
Afternoon Session - 12:30 p.m. - 3:45 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday

Families who need transportation will be able to utilize the regular school bus routes in the morning and afternoon. The mid-day route for 4-year-olds will drop off morning students and pick up afternoon students at designated locations in the communities of Buffalo Center, Lakota, Thompson, Rake, and Titonka.

Please contact Chris Davis, Elementary Secretary with questions, at chris.davis@northiowa.org or 641-562-2525. Parents are encouraged to pre-register by June 1st, so North Iowa CSD is better able to prepare for the student's arrival this fall.

Spring Weather

Spring has sprung and we are looking forward to warmer weather! However, temps can vary widely this season. There is an AM, Noon, and PM recess each day. Please refer to the visual provided and send students in attire that allow them to be comfortable for the coldest and warmest temperatures throughout the school day.
