Principal's Message

Ida Families,

Thank you for not dropping students off before 8:20 am. We worry about students being out in front of the school before this time without adult supervision.

In addition, our bike and scooter riders are doing a great job timing their arrival. It is great to see them riding to school. They are also doing a good job walking their bikes/scooter at the end of the day!

Coming in May, we will have a ride your bike to school day with what is called a "Bike Bus"! Details are coming from Ida and transportation for the end of May.

Have a great week!

Mrs. Burfeind

Kid Heart Challenge

The American Heart Association is excited to extend our work with the NFL to support improving health outcomes at home and beyond through the Hands-Only CPR education. Students who complete Finn's Mission will earn an entry for two tickets to Super Bowl LXI in 2027, and your school will be entered to receive a $10,000 fitness equipment makeover for every 18 students who complete Finn's Mission.

Information was sent home with students on Friday, April 10.
 

LOST & FOUND

Please check Ida's Lost & found or encourage your student(s) to do so. We are overflowing!

We had students go class by class and many items were reclaimed. However, there are a lot more coats, sweatshirt, hats, etc.
