Save the Date: 2024 WACO Foundation Golf Outing.

WACO Families,
All Iowa public school districts are required to administer an annual school climate and culture survey to students in grades 3-12 called Conditions for Learning Survey (Survey). The Survey is designed to measure their engagement in school, safety and the overall learning environment. Students in grades 3-6 will take the survey during the week of April 8, 2024.
From April 1-30, 2024, parents and families of students in preschool through grade 12 will also have the opportunity to participate in the Parent Conditions for Learning Survey. The Survey contains similar items to those on the Student Survey, focusing on areas that range from student safety, to positive adult and student relationships, to school rules and how they are enforced. Participation in the Survey is encouraged, but it is completely voluntary, and all questions are optional to answer.
We highly value your input! Below are the directions on how to access the survey in English and Spanish. Please reach out to the elementary if you have any questions! Thank you in advance for your participation!

Reading Buddies part 2
6th grade students learned about transportation in the agricultural industry. They also designed and tested packaging to protect a Pringles chip. Ag in the Classroom is so much fun!

A couple of upcoming reminders:

Just another fun Read-A-Million Minutes activity.
Quick reminder that WACO will have school this Friday, the 16th, as it is a snow make up day. Have a great week.
As part of Read-A-Million Minutes every WACO Elementary student received a free book. Mrs. Settles was able to read to Preschool - 1st grade classrooms as part of the book giveaway.
We would like to thank all the community members who donated books to RAMM!
