Week of September 11, 2017

Thursday Folders:

Fall Conferences:
Teachers will be holding conferences the week of October 2-6. Please schedule a time to meet with your child's teacher in order to learn more about their progress so far this year. The Online Scheduler will be open today until September 28 to schedule a conference with your teacher. In order to schedule a time, please use the directions below. 

To sign up, please go to the Iron Horse Website
Once you are at the website, click on the Parent Resources.

Once there, you will click on "On Line Scheduler"
This will direct you the the Online Scheduler page. From there, please select "IRON HORSE ELEMENTARY" and click "Go". Then you will need to enter your student's ID number (same as their lunch number) and the password "engineer". From there, you will be able to select a date and time for your student's assessment. 




Parking Lot:
We are continuing to have issues with parents/guardians not obeying traffic laws at the intersections of Tallman and Hilltop and Tallman and Club Dr. In order to keep everyone safe, please DO NOT stop in the middle of crosswalks or go the wrong direction into the school. Parker Police Department is aware of the issues and will continue to monitor and hand out traffic tickets. Thank you for your support in keeping our families and staff safe! 

Want to Earn Some Extra Money Supporting Iron Horse?
We are looking for classified substitutes to support our students during the lunch hours of 10:45am-1:35pm in the event that our regular employees need to be out. If you are interested in applying, please follow this link.
