Weekly Information

Thank you Ida Families for assisting us with safety issues during our dismissal time at 3:15 PM by using sidewalks or crosswalks when you approach the school. This is important for families that park on Cora Street to keep the bus lane clear of pedestrains. 

Thank you also for using the outside sidewalk of the bus lane when we load buses. There is a lot of activity with classes coming out to load the buses.

We appreciate your help to make sure our afternoon dismissal is safe and successful.

We have another full week and are now headed into the Autumn season. Please put names on coats so we can return to your student. 

Please don't hestitate to contact me with questions or concerns. You can reach me at heather.burfeind@esd401.org or message me on Parent Square. 

Go Mighty Mustangs!

Mrs Burfeind
Ida Principal

School Meals

Please take a few minutes to complete the Childhood Nutrition Eligibility and Education Benefit (CNEEB) form for your household.

Although elementary students receive meals at no cost, the information collected through this form is still very important. It helps determine funding for crucial student supports, including intervention services such as small-group WIN time.

Please complete the form before October 1. Information and the form are available here: https://www.esd401.org/44077_2

Thank you for helping us make sure our schools receive the resources available to support students.
