A note from the Principal
It’s March! Not only is it March, but March came in like a lamb. As we enter into the month, we also enter another busy season. There are lots of things happening in the coming weeks that we can be excited about. There’s spring break, Easter weekend, the return of spring softball/baseball season, and more sunny days! We’ll complete our ISASP tests, 4th grade is going to Herbert Hoover for a field trip, and the book fair comes to town. Keep an eye on our social media pages, check your email often, and stay up to date so you don’t miss a minute of the fun. – Mrs. Holtz
Spartan Dash is April 22
The deadline for registration for the annual Spartan Dash is Monday, March 27. This year registration will be done online and includes registration, consent forms, and payment. Go to https://spartan-dash-23.cheddarup.com to access. Any questions can be directed to Jill Smith at [email protected].
Again, the online registration MUST be done before Monday, March 27 to guarantee a t-shirt. Online registration will be closed after Thursday, April 20 and anyone wanting to register after that time will need to fill out a paper registration and consent form and bring it to the Spartan Dash.
Volunteers needed! – Spartan Dash is needing more volunteers to be stationed at obstacles this year. Work one, two, or more hours to provide directions to families through the obstacles. Have a group and want to volunteer together? That’s even better! Reach out to [email protected] if interested.

WIN with Reading – SIS and Lakeview students will have fun all March long as they win with reading! Encourage your child to keep reading, even over spring break, and to log their reading. Students who fill the Win With Reading Book Log between now and the last week of March will be rewarded for their dedication to win with reading. Simply bring your completed log sheet to the Book Fair and pick your prize.
Book Fair – The Book Fair is coming March 27-31! Students will have a chance to browse and shop sometime during the week. Plan to come check it out the evening of Tuesday, March 28 when we’ll be giving out our Win with Reading winners. The Book Fair will be open at both buildings from noon until 7:00 p.m.

We encourage younger shoppers to use Tuesday or Wednesday evening with a parent to shop but will be able to accommodate independent shoppers, as well as teachers with classes, during the other open times. Older students are encouraged to use the ewallet accounts. More information on ewallet can be found at https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/content/bookfairs/en/misc/bfc-ewallet.html.
SIS students can shop Tuesday evening with parents at WIN with Reading but can also shop with their class as usual during the day Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday.

ISASP testing
The District has identified March 27-April 4 as our ISASP testing dates. Students will complete these tests online. Teachers have been preparing for these tests by taking a few short practice tests to help students familiarize themselves with the testing platform and navigation features. Please talk to your child about the importance of a good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast! It’s the little things that make a big difference!
