Week of February 25, 2019

Thursday Folder Flyers:



Battle of the Books:
We are SO proud of both of our teams for their amazing work with Battle of the Books. Please join us on Monday, March 4th at 6:00pm to root for our 3/4 team in the Semifinals! 

Douglas County Strategic Plan:
Douglas County School District is ready to start creating its road map for the next 3-5 years and we want to hear from families and community members from across our school district about what priorities and endeavors should be included in our plan.


Please help us make sure that the Iron Horse voice is well represented at one of these upcoming community conversations. No RSVP is required. However, it is so important for our community members to provide input and insight into this plan. I strongly encourage you to attend!


Help us determine the next steps necessary to ensure that each and every student in Douglas County School District is ready for a successful life after high school, and beyond.
