The first graders have been hard at work learning about three habits of character that help us get work done. These habits are cooperation, initiative, and perseverance. We have been looking for those habits in stories and around our school. We have also been practicing using them through various challenges. After each challenge, students discuss how they used or saw teammates use each of the different habits. If you talk to a first grader, ask them to tell you about one of these habits.

The 6th and 7th grade PE students have been learning the game of Pickleball to start the school year. We have a cool addition to our Pickleball Curriculum at Silver Lake Park this year that we get to use, and our students are very excited about it. Thank you to all of the organizers and donors who make this project become a reality!

Middle School Language Arts students have been busy during September. Students are finishing up their second free reading book for Book Talk #2. We have also been studying Greek and Latin roots for vocabulary. And we are in the middle of studying technical writing including the MV Middle School Handbook and the Iowa Driver's License Manual. Students will be giving a How-To Speech and creating a review board game over the Driver's License Manual.

New Text Alert System


We have a new alert system called SchoolMessenger. In order to receive text and email alerts, registration for the 2024-2025 school year must be completed online in PowerSchool. The difference you will notice when you log in as a parent is that the previous student information is not visible. Therefore, registration is imperative for successful communication between school and parents. Reminder - only two contacts will receive texts and emails - those with “mother” and “father” relationship status. When entering cell phone numbers, please designate it as a “mobile” phone. An opt in text message will be sent before the first day of school to parents to opt in to receiving these alerts. 


If the information in PowerSchool is not accurate, you will not receive these alerts.


Contact call Sarah Lown if you have questions, 563-922-2091
