Hello IC families!
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas break and you enjoyed the JOY of the season.
We welcome back our students tomorrow. Supervision begins at 7:40 a.m. and the school day begins at 7:55 a.m. Please remember if you are picking up or dropping off your child you should be in the circle drive. Parents are asked not to use N. Grand for drop off and pick up as this is for the buses.
A reminder that students need snowpants and boots to for recess. We go outside unless the feel-like temperature is zero or below.
Our staff has been working on packets in the event that we have a virtual learning day due to imclement weather. I will send a letter out Monday explaining a virtual learning day and teachers will be sending these packets home tomorrow with your children.
We will be going to the movie, David, this Wednesday after mass, compliments of John and Amy Weishaar. If you did not receive your permission form before Christmas your child will bring it home for you to sign tomorrow. Students have to have a signed persmission slip to be able to attend any event off school grounds.
Our FAST testing will change from Jan. 12th - 23rd to Feb. 2nd -13th. Reminders will go out before we start our testing to ensure students are prepared for their tests. These were done last fall, will be done now in January, and then again in the spring.
We look forward to seeing your children tomorrow. Thank you for choosing IC School and have a great night!
Blessings,
Mrs. L. Field

Join us today for the 3rd-6th grade Christmas Concert!
1:30 p.m. (Doors open at 1:00 p.m. )

We are excited to share something new at Immaculate Conception School! A parish member has donated funds to provide a special lunch for students who demonstrate our core values of Faith, Scholarship, Kindness, and Service.
Twice a month, we will draw a student’s name from our Shout Outs—recognitions given by staff who see students living out our core values throughout the week. These shout outs are shared during our Wednesday morning prayer, and now they come with an special treat!
🎉 The selected student will enjoy a special lunch and may choose a friend to join them. It’s a joyful way to celebrate the everyday actions that make our school community strong. Our first student that earned this special treat was Piper Hall. Piper consistenly shows the core values of Faith, Scholarship, Kindness, and Service. Her Shout Out drawn was for demonstrating the core value of Kindness.
Thank you to our generous parish member, and congratulations in advance to our future core value leaders! 💙🤍

Due to the weather, we will be dismissing at 12:55 p.m. today, Tuesday, December 9, 2025. There is no afternoon preschool.
Thank you,
Blessings,
Mrs. L. Field
