News from ICS
The kids can't go to the pumpkin patch, so the PTA brought the pumpkin patch to the school! The students got a chance to decorate pumpkins and play games during our Fall Fun Day.
Friday, October 16th is the end of the first grading period. Report Cards and Life Skill Reports will be distributed to the students in grades K to 6 next Friday, October 23. The Report Cards will be published in Digital Academy on Thursday, October 22. You will receive an email message with the report card attached. You will also be able to log-in to your Digital Academy account to see the report card and grades on all assignments.
Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held Thursday, November 5. Because of coronavirus restrictions conferences will be held only if requested by the teacher or parent. More information will be sent home next week.
Monday, October 19th, students in grades three through six will take the In-View test. This is a cognitive skills assessment designed to provide insight into a student’s thinking and reasoning skills. We usually also give students the Terra Nova test, but we will not do that this year to minimize disruptions to classroom instruction.
The PTA Soup and Sandwich Dinner and Basket Raffle will be held Sunday, November 1. The dinner will be take-out only. Baskets will be sold outside the school on Thursday and Friday of next week.
There is still time to get a Boo Wave Raffle ticket. The grand prize is $25,000! Tickets are $50 and are available in the school office. Only one-thousand tickets will be sold. The raffle is based on the Ohio Lotterty evening three-digit drawing on October 29. All proceeds will directly benefit Immaculate Conception School.
It’s very important that parents let us know whenever someone other than the usual person is picking up your child after school. We can not release a child to anyone who is not listed on your emergency medical form unless we have a note from a parent. Thank you.
September 29th was the feast day of St. Michael. We used the occasion to honor our local safety forces with prayer, cards, and refreshments. The event was organized by Mrs. Love and the sixth grade class.
