Hazel Dell
Tomorrow after lunch we will go over the Hazel Dell school, across from high school. Students can wear plain clothing if they'd like, but they don't have to. We also have mixed-up day in the whole Iowa-Grant building, so they can do that if they'd like too.
At Hazel Dell we'll spend the afternoon having school as they did in a one room schoolhouse!

Letter
We wrote a letter to different businesses a month or so ago. Several students have received nice responses, but the Badger basketball team went all out. Julia wrote a letter to the team and check out the response!
It was so cool it ALMOST turned me into a Badger fan!
School Messenger Message
I copied this letter from Mrs. Erickson to send home this week. I included it in the blog as well. Happy last week of school!
Dear Parent(s),
We will be implementing a different school notification and reporting system called SchoolMessenger. This system is loaded with features that will make it easier for us to communicate with all families. It will be possible for teachers to communicate with the parents of their students. It can also allow a coach to communicate with parents or students involved in a particular sport. To guarantee the messaging system is used efficiently, we will need to confirm that the contact information we have for you is accurate and up-to-date at all times.
SchoolMessenger allows our school to send messages using email, voice, and text messaging. Voice calls will be sent with 608-943-6311 as the caller ID number, text messages will be sent using a caller ID 68453. Please note you will not be able to reply to text messages sent from the school.
You must OPT-in to receive text alerts from the Iowa-Grant School District. On Monday, June 1 at 10:00AM, you will receive a text message asking you to reply with a Y or Yes. If you do not reply, you will not receive any text messages from the Iowa-Grant School District. Tolls and charges associated with receipt of messages from the school are your responsibility and not the responsibility of the school. If you miss the text message or accidentally delete the text message, you may send a YES text message to 68453 to opt yourself into the messaging system. However, this will only work if the District already has your cell phone information in our Power School system.
If you have any questions, please contact Stephanie Dirks atdirks@igs.k12.wi.us or 608-943-6311, Ext 3010.
Sincerely,
Linda Erickson, Superintendent

Notes
Mining Museum Field Trip
Our field trip to the Platteville Mining Museum is coming up this Friday, May 15. The field trip will only be a half day trip. We'll eat lunch at school at 11:15, which is a little earlier than usual. We will leave the school at around 11:40 for Platteville. We won't return until around 3:00.
Badger Exam
We finished our last standardized test from the Badger Exam today. I have one or two that need to do a make-up test in the next couple of days, but most of students are done. They put forth great effort and tried their best. Thank you for that!
Classroom Exams
As the year winds down, we'll still have a few more tests, although much smaller than the Badger Exam. Next week we'll do a writing assessment and take our last SRI Test. The SRI Test is the one that establishes a Lexile score they use to pick out books. The kids are usually excited to see this test go up as they associate that score with the books they are reading.

Please make changes to any information which is no longer current (email address, work phone number, emergency contact information, allergies, etc.) If no changes need to be made, please sign it at the bottom and return it as is.
