Music Share for 1st Grade is Soon
Winter weather is the theme for this 10 minute presentation in the music room for these classes:
Scholastic Book Fair is February 18 & 20 The book fair will be open during conferences from 4-8 PM each night. When families buy books, etc. from the fair, our library receives Scholastic Dollars and/or cash to buy even more titles for our library. Volunteers & Food Items Needed for Conferences If you are available to set up, clean up, provide ice, or a food item for our terrific teachers meals during conferences, please click here on WE conference to serve. Thank you parents and thank you WETAP! Lost & Found in the Foyer Near WE Office Anytime but especially during conferences, please checkout the lost & found bins for items your child(ren) may have left behind. Everything has been moved just outside of the office. Thank you. Soup Supper Items Needed for February 27 Before the Festival of Bands at the middle school gym, join us for the 3rd annual soup supper to raise funds for new band instruments and to bring the community together for a delicious dinner. We do need help though. If you can help or provide food for this event, please click here on Soup Supper. Thank you! WE Needs Substitute Associates and Kitchen Help If you are interested in working with students in different capacities or helping with preparing/serving meals to our students as needed, please contact Denise Havill at 319-895-6251.

Our substitutes do get paid. :) Volunteers for Basketball Concessions Needed The MV Booster Club is in need of volunteers for both girls and boys concession stand workers.

Kids Club Families Please log into InTouch to view invoices and make payments. Thank you. Click here for InTouch. Breakfast is 7:50-8:10 If your child needs to eat breakfast at school and is not in Kids Club or doesn't ride the bus, please have your child to school as close to 7:50 as possible. This will give your child plenty of time to eat so he/she won't be late for class. School Attendance School attendance is one of the most important aspects of school success. Research confirms that regular attendance enhances student achievement and learning. Parents partner with MVCSD staff to encourage regular school attendance for all MVCSD students. Did you know that students who miss 18 or more days in a school year for any reason – just 10% – are considered chronically absent, which can hurt their academic achievement and put them at-risk of dropping out? The school day begins at 8:15 AM. Teachers take attendance at that time. To eliminate disruption and minimize the repetition of class instruction, please have your child in the classroom by 8:15. Viral Illness has Hit at WE We definitely have a gastrointestinal virus (stomach flu) in the building. Remind your son/daughter to wash hands frequently. Keep your child home for vomiting, diarrhea, or fever until symptom-free for 24 hours. Please click here on health tips for more guidelines from Nurse Jenna. Thanks for your help in keeping our kids healthy. Monthly District Newsletter Please click here on January for the latest district newsletter. During the school year, from September through May, the Mount Vernon School District newsletter is distributed to Mount Vernon and Martelle residents through The Sun newspaper or The Sunlight flyer one time per month. This newsletter serves as a snapshot of events that have occurred within the district and upcoming events. It is always available online. Please click HERE to view archived newsletters. Nutrition Account Please keep your student's lunch account above zero.
Activity Passes Activity passes were sent home with those students who purchased them through registration. It is a requirement that these Activity Passes be shown for admittance to each home event. Students without activity passes will need to pay to get in to the event. State-sponsored post-season athletic events (i.e. playoff/tournament games) always require payment for admittance for ALL students.
