Principal's Message

Ida Families,

This week is Staff Appreciation Week at Ida. We are celebrating teachers, paras, office, custodial, food service, recess, speech and OT staff that serve your students! A kind note from your student(s) to the different people that impact their day is the best way to appreciate Ida's heroes!

We also will begin state testing this week for grades 3-5 during the morning from 9-noon. Due to testing regulations, please be advised that students will not be able to wear smart watches during the testing session. They will need to be off and in their backpack. This includes cell phones.

Congratulations to all our students who presented or performed at the Ellensburg School District Celebration of Cultures this last Friday. They were amazing!

Go Mustangs!

Mrs. Burfeind
