STUDENT AND PARENT NEWS

CONDITIONS FOR LEARNING SURVEY...Middle School staff will administer an annual school climate and culture survey called Conditions for Learning to students the week of April 4. This survey administration is required by the state’s plan to meet a federal law called the Every Student Succeeds Act. All Iowa public school districts will use the Conditions for Learning Survey to improve safety, student engagement, and the overall learning environment so that all Iowa students have optimum conditions for learning. Student participation in the survey is highly encouraged, but is voluntary and will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Please see the link for additional information regarding the survey.

NURSING DEPARTMENT NEWS

LIONS CLUB...Nurse Jessica and Nurse Bethany presented to the Lions Club of Charles City on March 10 about the vision screening and referral services our nurses and health associate provide. The nurses talked about the vision referral rates for preschool through 8th grade and what we do to help our families in need get their children eye exams and glasses. A story was shared about an elementary student who only knew 8/26 of their letters and sounds at the beginning of the school year, but after getting glasses, they now know all of their letters and sounds! Thank you to the Charles City Lions Club for helping with our vision screenings and families in need of assistance.
