Our Mission
To challenge all students to achieve their full potential through engaging, responsive, educational experiences that inspire innovation, critical thinking, and collaboration.
In an effort to save paper, we will not be printing lunch menus this year. Please follow this link to know what is available for the day. Students will be given the choice of 3 entrees and need to make that decision upon arrival and stick with the decision when going through the line.
Important Upcoming Dates:
May 22: Preschool Graduation 6:00 at Washington School
May 23: Last Day of School 11:30 Dismissal
A Message from PTO: We are participating in Box Tops for Education. The process has changed quite a bit from having to turn in physical box tops. The process has now gone completely digital. Please visit the website to get more information!
Please be aware of the following changes in the lunch menu:
Principal’s Press
Hello!
We have one week remaining! We have lots of special activities this week to celebrate our final days of school. We hope you have a great summer!
- Reminder: Please join us for our Preschool Graduation on Wednesday, May 22nd, at 6:00 PM. We will hold our event in the cafeteria!
- Our last day of school is Thursday, May 23rd. We will be dismissing all students at 11:30 that day. Due to the early dismissal, no lunch will be served.
- Field Day will take place on Thursday of this week. Please send appropriate clothing and footwear for outdoor activities!
- If you’re looking for great, FREE activities for your child this summer, check out the Charles City Public Library! Our students have worked so hard this year to learn letter names and sounds, and to put those to use while reading. As with any skill, reading takes practice! If your child isn’t reading yet (or even if they are), every child loves to hear a great story.
- Looking for meals this summer? Join us for our Summer Food Program! Students can enjoy a FREE lunch and adults can join for only $4.00. It’s a great deal!

Physical Education
We will be doing a Dribble Relay with Soccer balls. The kids will make teams of 3 or 4. Then we will see which team can get through their line up the fastest dribbling it down and back.
-Mr. Wilson
Library Read Alouds and Activities
Kindergarten Students will listen to the story “Knight Owl” by Christopher Denise.
First Graders will listen to the story “Super Bugs” by Michelle Meadows. After the story they will work in small groups to create an origami ladybug while the others in the class are coloring a picture related to the story.
Please remember to ensure that all library books are returned by the end of the school year. Please check your child’s backpack for an overdue notice.
I am retiring at the end of the school year. I have been conversing with the new librarian and she is going to be an awesome addition to Charles City CSD! I will miss the students and hope everyone has a safe and joy-filled summer
~Naomi Yaddof, K-12 Librarian, TK-4 Library/Technology Special.
A Message from Art
Students get to enjoy their last day of art with a Free Day Art. They were able to use multiple coloring utensils, and drawing tools. “How To” draw papers were available for students to pick or choose at their convenience. Read aloud books played in the background for students' enjoyment.
