Hello all,

I hope everyone had a great week! Below I will update several topics.

Marching Band

Don’t forget to come out this evening to watch the Clippers take on Williamsburg in football. The 7/8 marching band will be performing with the high school band at halftime of the varsity game.

Iowa Assessments

Next week we will begin taking the Iowa Assessments. This test was formerly known as the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. This year we will take the full battery of tests. Testing in the middle school next week will be on Tuesday (18^th), Thursday (20^th), and Friday (21^st). We will likely not complete all tests next week. Please help make sure that your child is well rested for the assessments. We have arranged to have snacks provided each day of the assessments. Thanks to our student council for providing this!

Athletics

Next week we will wrap up our fall athletic seasons with our final football game. In fact, next week we will begin 7/8 girls basketball on Monday, the 17th. Wrestling will begin Monday, October 24^th.

Food Order Pick Up

Don’t forget, the food order fundraiser items will be here next Monday, October 17^th. Pick up time is from 3:15 until 5:30 at the middle school.
