Parent Teacher Organization - November 5th from 6:30-7:30 
Please join us for our next meeting in the school library.  Each meeting includes an update from Mrs. Cannon.  We also discuss previous events and brainstorm and plan for upcoming events.  Please bring a quiet activity for any children attending.  If you have a topic or question you would like discussed at a PTO meeting, please contact Laura (Lbroffitt@yahoo.com)

Winter in Iowa
It's hard to believe, but winter is coming soon!  Snow, ice, and temperatures that drop below freezing.  To keep your child safe from cold-weather injuries, they should come to school every day during the winter months with a warm coat, hat, and gloves or mittens.  Once the snow and ice arrives they should also have winter boots and snow pants.If your family needs assistance getting winter items for your Horn student and would like to see if we have items available in their size, please contact Megan Recker, the Student and Family Advocate.  You can email her at recker.megan@iowacityschools.org or call her at 319-688-1179.   Winter items are limited in number and we cannot guarantee availability of all items in all sizes.
