REMINDER-

Thursday is our last day of school(early out) and we will be having a family picnic at 11am. You are invited to join your student on the front lawn. Students will receive a sack lunch.

Please let your students teacher know before you leave with your child from the picnic so we can sign them out.

It’s also a dress down day on the last day. Students don’t need to be in uniforms!

This is such a fun way to end the school year together! ☀️🧺🥪

Students enjoyed a picnic lunch and team activities at Tower Park.

Governor Kim Reynolds has officially signed new legislation expanding support and opportunities for charter school students and families across the state. The law increases per-student charter school funding, expands access to extracurriculars and concurrent enrollment opportunities, and allows the University of Northern Iowa to approve new charter schools in Iowa.

This is a huge step forward for educational choice and for the thousands of Iowa families seeking innovative, high-quality public school options for their children.

Public charter schools are tuition-free public schools that give families more choices while remaining accountable for student success. Today’s legislation helps ensure charter school students receive more equitable access to resources and opportunities. 💙

We’re excited about what this means for the future of education in Iowa and for the continued growth of strong public charter school communities across our state. 🚀

✅ Charter schools give families another public school option

❌ Charter schools are NOT private schools
❌ Charter schools do NOT charge tuition
❌ Charter schools do NOT select students based on academics

❌ Charter schools are NOT “less accountable” than traditional public schools
