Welcome!
As parents, you play a valuable role in providing the primary educational setting for your child. We ask that you assist us by getting your child to school each and every day. We want to make a difference in their lives and cannot do that unless they are here. As a school, we understand the importance of partnering with families to help address issues and needs that arise throughout the year. We have a variety of resources and personnel to support our students and need a strong partnership with you as you know your child better than anyone. We are a team!

A note from the Principal:
I encourage you to visit our school for lunch or breakfast, and enjoy volunteer opportunities around the school! We highly recommend you attend parent teacher conferences, PTO meetings, events your child is starring in such as: art shows, music concerts, and our spring field day. Our teachers do a great job of posting your child’s weekly learning on Seesaw, which is a learning media platform for education. Notes, assignments, and student work are posted and communicated with you from teachers and your child. Please reach out to your child’s teacher if you are not connected to Seesaw. Building or district wide communication will most likely come out through Infinite Campus in an email to the primary address you have provided us. If you are on Facebook, we post our school success on our District Anamosa Facebook page, too!
Once again, thank you for your continued support and efforts throughout the year. One of our main focus areas is ATTENDANCE! Please know if your child is not at school we ask that you connect with us and let us know why. We love ALL of our students and get concerned when they are not here. I will also be calling and sending letters home if attendance becomes an issue. With all of us working together, I am confident that the upcoming school year will be a positive learning experience for all students.
We are looking forward to another great school year!
Ellen Recker
Elementary Principal
