🎶 do you wanna build a snowman?🎶
Mr. Brown's P.E. classes sure do! Here are a few shots from the man 'snowmen' built this week!

Preschool - 5th grade students were able to visit The Rose theater in Audubon today for a viewing of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever." We'd like to extend a big Thank You to the show sponsors: Exchange State Bank, Landmands, & FNIC as well as the special events committee at the Rose. We enjoyed ourselves immensely!!

Good Morning Spartan Families,
It appears we have begun the winter season a little early. Because of the snow over the holiday weekend, I want to take a moment to remind you to get prepared for late starts and cancellations, as well as share our inclement weather policy and procedures.
Student safety is our top priority. We closely monitor local weather forecasts and road conditions when hazardous winter weather is predicted. If we determine that conditions are unsafe for students and staff to travel to and from school, we will make the decision to close school.
In the event that inclement weather requires us to close school, you will be notified through JMC, as well as our District Website and Social Media. We will also share closing information with local radio stations KNOD, KSOM, and KJAN. We will also try to get to the television stations WHO TV13 and KCCI, this depends on timing. If you have not shared your cell phone number with the school, please contact either office so that we can get you on the text list as well.
All extracurricular activities, athletics, and events scheduled for that day may also be cancelled. We will keep a watchful eye on the weather conditions and make the determination by the afternoon if evening activities will be cancelled. A reminder, all snow days will be made up on Mondays. I will share which Mondays will be utilized in the near future. As of now it won’t be the following Monday.
If we have a two-hour late start, buses will pick up the students two hours later than regularly scheduled bus times. If you drive your child to school, you should plan to arrive two hours later than the regular drop off time.
Early dismissal in the afternoon due to inclement weather will be decided on a case-by-case basis. Parents/Guardians will be notified by JMC, website, and social media if the students will be sent home early. All evening activities will be canceled if we dismiss early due to inclement weather.
For closures and early dismissals, Kids in the Village will notify parents through their normal communication channels on their plan of action.
We never take school closures lightly, and understand the impact they have on families. Our goal is to make the safest choice possible for our students and staff while balancing the importance of learning time.
As we head into winter, I encourage all families to prepare for the possibility of future school closures and delays. We encourage you to make arrangements now for childcare, transportation adjustments, and schedule changes.
We appreciate your patience and flexibility when inclement weather strikes. Our staff will always work hard to make timely closure decisions with your child’s safety as the driving factor.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I can be reached via email at tmiller@eehkspartans.org or by phone at 712-764-4616
