Week of August 19, 2019

Friday Fliers:

Assessment Day: 
    Our Assessment day is scheduled for next Tuesday, August 27th. Students will only come to school during their pre-scheduled time with their teacher (via Online Scheduler). Regular classes WILL NOT be in session. No transportation will be provided on this day. We look forward to seeing you at your assigned time! 



    SAC Meeting:
    The School Accountability Committee is comprised of parents, community members, the principal, and staff. The responsibilities of the SAC are to support the principal with the development of the Unified Improvement Plan (UIP), provide budget recommendations, provide information regarding the needs of the community, help the principal to foster partnerships and increase engagement with parents, and work to recruit people to serve on the SAC. 

    We will be holding board elections for our two vacant positions (chair and vice chair) at our first meeting on September 19, 2029 from 5:00-5:30pm. Please get involved and support our amazing school! If you are interested in serving as our chair or vice chair, please send a short paragraph bio to kirsten.bloomfield@dcsdk12.org by Tuesday, September 17th. Elections are conducted according to district by-laws through a voting process. Following the elections, we will be attending a regional SAC training from 6:00-7:30pm at Legend High School. 

     Legend Homecoming Parade:
    The Legend Homecoming Parade is coming! On September 4th, we would love to have students join us in walking from Legend to Cimarron as part of the parade. If you are interested in having your child walk in the parade, please meet Mrs. Carlson in the lower Legend parking lot at 4:15pm. You will need to sign your child in with Mrs. Carlson when you arrive, and will need to meet Mrs. Carlson at the entrance to Cimarron's flag pole immediately following Iron Horse's arrival there (the parade will not be complete at this time). You will need to sign your student out upon pickup. All students must complete a waiver to participate. Please complete this waiver and bring it with you to the parade to give to Mrs. Carlson. If your child arrives without a waiver, they will not be able to walk with us in the parade. Students should wear an Iron Horse shirt or a shirt that is black, yellow, or gray. We hope to see you there! 

    Fun Run:
    Our largest fundraiser of the year is coming! We are excited to host a Fun Run for our students on September 19th. More details regarding the Fun Run will be coming soon!
