TLC Grant
We received notice in March that
our district has been approved for the
Teacher Leadership Grant from the
State of Iowa. So starting this fall, our
teaching faculty will be structured differently.
These current teachers will now have
TLC positions:
Haley Seuferer will be full time Instructional Coach & Technology Integrationist for the Primary & Intermediate buildings.
Megan Birchette will be half-time
Technology Integrationist at the Jr-Sr
High School and will remain language
arts teacher the other half.
Shelley Mitzelfelt will be half-time
Instructional Coach and will do at-risk
reading the other half.
Our two Mentor Teacher Instructors
are Tina Schneider and Pam McCombs.
They will work with other teachers outside the school day.
Our appointed Model Teachers at
the Jr High School are Natasha Cooper,
Sarah Sealock and Shane Rowlands. At
the Primary School will be Megan Cooper and Intermediate School Tina Schneider. This means they will continue
teaching in their current positions, but
will model teaching practices to other
teachers.
Relay for Life
On April 22nd (Earth Day) the JrSr High School students will have our
yearly Relay for Life (American Cancer
Society) walk around Lake Ahquabi.

Kindergarten Round-up
There will be a one-day introductory Kindergarten Round-up session for all of
our 2016-2017 kindergartners on April 29th. Students must be 5-years-old by September 15, 2016 to be eligible for kindergarten next year. This one-day session will
be a full day and run the same hours as a regular school day. Please contact Patty at

Roundup offers the opportunity for your child to get to know the kindergarten
teachers and learn about the kindergarten routine. While your child is with us, there
will be vision screening, stories, lunch, recess and a chance for our staff to evaluate
the developmental levels achieved by the four-and five-year-olds attending. Students attending Roundup should bring either $2.10 for lunch or a sack lunch. Students who already have a family lunch account, may charge to that account.
If your child is not included on the list below and will be five on or before September 15th, please call Patty at the Primary School at 641-942-6216. In early April
an informational packet will be sent to the parents of all students listed below and

Annual
Friendship Fair
The Southeast Warren Primary Center will be holding
our annual Friendship Fair the last two weeks of school.
This year we will be studying the continent of Africa with
a concentration on Kenya.
We are asking for help with finding artifacts from Africa so our students can see the culture and hobbies of the
people of the Africa. Our study is always enhanced when
community members can contribute by sharing their
knowledge and their things. If you have anything from
Africa which you would be willing to share with our students, or if you have pictures, a slide show or would like
to come and speak with our students about a trip, ancestry
or something of that nature, please contact the Friendship
Fair committee.
See you at the program Friday, May 23rd in our air
conditioned gym!
