My regular babysitter is not able to pick up my son after school on Tuesdays and Thursday’s from January 20-March 11. If anyone is able to drop my son off at our home (on 2nd and walnut) I would pay $5/ride. Please respond to this message or text/call me at 319-429-2251 if you could help me out.

Another great day at with Lincoln Elementary and Cedar Heights Elementary!

Welcome Debbie Condra to Cedar Falls Schools! She is a special education para educator at Lincoln Elementary.

She is a proud graduate of Cedar Falls High School and received her BA in education from UNI. She taught 4-year-old preschool at Blessed Sacrament for the past six years.

“I have lived most of my life in Cedar Falls. I attended Lincoln School for 2nd through 6th grade. Then I went on to Holmes Junior High and graduated from CFHS! So working for the Cedar Falls School System is like coming home.”

She enjoys reading, taking walks, and playing with her two grandchildren, who are 6- and 10-years-old. “They live close to us and attend Cedar Heights Elementary.

She has played for many years in a bell choir at her church.

Welcome Nicole Davis to Cedar Falls Schools! She is teaching band at Hansen Elementary, Lincoln Elementary and North Cedar Elementary School - Cedar Falls. She graduated from Cedar Falls High School in 2006 and from the University of Northern Iowa with her bachelor’s in 2010 and master’s in 2012 with degrees in instrumental music education.

She previously taught 5-12 grade band in the Wapsie Valley School District from 2012-2016, and in the Hudson School District from 2016-2021. She also worked with the UNI Panther Marching Band from 2013-2016, and still works as one of their marching band drill writers.

“I am looking forward to working with the band students and making music in Cedar Falls! I already began teaching some lessons this summer, and I can tell from meeting those kids that the students at CF will be fantastic and enthusiastic learners! Everyone has been incredibly kind and welcoming so far.”

“I chose to work in Cedar Falls because I was born and raised here, and I grew up going to school in the Cedar Falls school district. It is a great district with an extremely strong band program - I am looking forward to collaborating with the other band teachers and becoming part of the band tradition here in CF! I love to teach the beginning stages of learning the band instruments at the elementary level and seeing the excitement of the fifth and sixth graders as they learn their new skills. Additionally, working in Cedar Falls is allowing me to work in the district where my daughter will go to school, which is very special!

She has been married to her husband, Alek, for 11 years, they met while in Jazz Band at Peet Junior High. He is a teacher in Waterloo Schools and is in the Army reserves. They have a five-month-old daughter, Kara, and a dog named Ollie. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her family, reading, playing board games and listening to live music whenever she can.

UPDATE: Our apologies to Mrs. Fiebelkorn for having her name incorrect in our previous post welcoming her to the District.

Welcome Autumn Fiebelkorn to Cedar Falls Schools! She will be teaching second grade at Lincoln Elementary.

She and her husband were married last year and moved to the area because he is an Athletic Trainer at Wartburg College.

“One thing I am most looking forward to as a Cedar Falls staff member is building new relationships. I choose to work for Cedar Falls Schools because I have heard nothing but good things about the district and I know I am going to love it! I am very fortunate that the district asked to have me. A few of my favorite things are my cat (Homer), spending time with family and friends, and crafting! I can’t wait to get this school year rolling!”

Welcome Heidi Rewerts to Cedar Falls Schools! She is a special education para educator at Lincoln Elementary. She graduated from UNI in December of 2010 and previously taught at Becker Elementary.

“I am looking forward to being a staff member to build relationships with a team of teachers as well as the students. I choose to work at Cedar Falls schools because I have lived in Cedar Falls since 2006 and I really wanted an opportunity to work with the youth in the area.”

She loves being outside, going on walks, and hiking with her husband, Josh.

We continue our series of welcoming new staff to the district! We wish them all a great first day of school!

Welcome Autumn Hasley to Cedar Falls Schools! She will be teaching second grade at Lincoln Elementary. She graduated in May from William Penn University. She and her husband were married last year and moved to the area because he is an Athletic Trainer at Wartburg College.

A few of my favorite things are my cat (Homer), spending time with family and friends, and crafting! I can’t wait to get this school year rolling!”

Teacher mom here! Anyone available to add a kindergarten student to their morning routines? Looking for care starting around 7:45-8:30, Monday-Thursday. Let me know if you can help! We have tried every option we can think of! Thanks so much! Please PM me or Adam Smith. 🖖

Welcome Amy Morse to Cedar Falls Schools! She will be a para educator at Lincoln Elementary. She graduated from UNI and previously taught Head Start in Tennessee, at Annsworth Academy in Florida, and Farmstead Preschool.

She’s most looking forward to developing close relationships with other educators and supporting student’s learning and success.

“Being a para educator gives me the opportunity to do what I love, which is working with students.”

Amy has been married to her husband Andrew for 13 years and they have two children. As a family they enjoy hiking at Hartman Nature Center and having movie nights. In her free time she enjoys running, reading, and crocheting.

Welcome Lexie Hartmann to Cedar Falls Schools! She will be teaching first grade at Lincoln Elementary. Lexie graduated from UNI and was a substitute teacher in Waterloo last year.

“I'm looking forward to teaching first grade! I chose Cedar Falls Schools because I’ve lived here for six years and the community feels like home. I also hope to give UNI students opportunities to learn in my classroom as many teachers in this district have given me.”

Hi, I am looking for a Second Grade Teacher in need of a teacher assistant for a student needing additional assistant.

I casually started up a brief conversation with her at CF Target where I currently work and now wish I got the name of the school or her name.

She was younger than the average teacher with light brown hair. If you know of a teacher without an assistant and is looking and remembers talking to the cashier at CF Target at this position, please give her my name and ask her to look me up on facebook.

The answer to yesterday’s trivia question is Lincoln School. It was originally called Central School, and it served K-12th grades. Central, built in 1863, became Lincoln in 1893, after several new additions were completed. This “first” Lincoln was used for thirty years until a new Lincoln School was built in 1923, just across the street. The building was three stories high, and was an elementary school. It was used until 2006, when it was closed and “new Lincoln” was built on the block between 7th and 8th and Clay and Franklin Streets, the site of the first Lincoln School. The newest school opened in 2006 on land adjacent to the old building. One of the playgrounds exists where the old building stood.
