Thursday Folder Fliers:
Welcome to the 2018-19 school year! The staff at Iron Horse is so thrilled to work alongside you to support your student in their journey of learning. Thank you to everyone who came to our Back to School Open House. We had a wonderful time meeting all of the families, new and returning. This year is going to be fantastic!
Rolling Entry Starts Tomorrow:
Our rolling entry starts tomorrow. The school day officially starts at 8:35am. Students are allowed to enter the building and go to their classroom at 8:18am. Students are not considered late until after 8:35am. There is no supervision outside until 8:18am. Thank you for honoring this time so that our students remain safe and supervised.
Parking Lot Pick-Up:
Please note that our gravel parking lot closes at 3:20pm with no entry thereafter until 3:45pm. This is to ensure that our walking students can safely cross this area on their way home. Thank you for your understanding.
School Fees:
DCSD will be using My School Bucks instead of RevTracks, our previous system, for all parent fees. Although it will be much more user friendly, it is having some technical issues so please hold on paying new fees for the next week. They are working around the clock to resolve the issues. Thank you!
Chick Fil-A Restaurant Night:
Our first restaurant night of the year is next week! We will be partnering with Chick Fil-A. If you mention "Iron Horse" during your purchase, we will receive a generous portion of all proceeds from the night. This is a great way to raise funds for our school AND you don't have to cook dinner!
PTO Meeting:
Our first PTO meeting will be held on Wednesday, August 15 from 3:45-4:45pm in the Junction. We will be holding elections for our PTO president during this meeting, as well as starting work on our upcoming Read-a-Thon fundraiser. We would love to see you there!
SAC Meeting:
Our first SAC meeting of the month will be held on Wednesday, August 15 from 5:00-6:00pm. This group is an advisory committee that provides the principal with feedback in the areas of parent engagement, budget priorities, the Unified Improvement Plan, and assisting the district in parent engagement strategies at the district level. We will be holding elections for our SAC at this meeting. If you are interested in serving on the SAC, please send a brief paragraph introducing yourself and why you'd like to serve on the SAC to kirsten.bloomfield@dcsdk12.org. We hope you can join us!
