Hello IC Families,
We have begun our winter FAST testing. This will be done this week and the week of Feb. 2. This is slightly differently than what had been communicated earlier. We worked around Catholic Schools Week, the weather, and the closing date of the FAST test. A good night's sleep and breakfast will help students focus to do their best on their tests and at school.
Fr. Tom is on retreat this week. Tomorrow will be a prayer service and we will hold it in the gym.
We are looking forward to Catholic Schools Week next week. We want to FILL THE CHURCH for mass on Sunday at 10:30 a.m. to kick off the week please join us . If your child has a mass part their information went home with them today.
Thank you for choosing IC School and have a great night!
Blessings,
Mrs. L. Field

Hello IC Families!
It was a mild day back to school as students got adjusted back to routine.
I have a couple things to tell you about and remind you about.
*You will have a letter regarding Virtual Learning Days attached to this letter. Your child will bring home their Virtual Learning Packet with them today. Students that have two households will bring two packets, one for each home. Please keep these for if or when we call a Virtual Learning Day. Please review the letter to ensure the expectations of those days and how your child will be counted as present for a Virtual Learning Day.
*We welcome Mr. Carter Henry as an authorized PE substitute. Mrs. Streich has shortened her contract and will remain our Interventionalist. PE will now be Thursday, Friday, and alternating Wednesday. Mr. Henry is also a long term PE sub for St. Joe's in New Hampton.
*Permission slips are due back by Wednesday morning to go to the movie. I have also attached it to this email.
*ALL students will need a sack lunch on Wednesay.
*If you have not approved your spring tuition payment with Odyssey please do so as soon as possilbe. The link is in the email. https://iowa-households.withodyssey.com/login/
*STO (Tuition Assistance) opened Jan. 1 for the 2026-2027 school year. If you are a family that is at or below the 400% federal poverty rate it is important you apply for both ESA and STO. The link for STO is in the email. The deadline to apply is April 15, 2026. The ESA application will be available later this spring. https://online.factsmgt.com/SignIn.aspx
*Our school struggles to find substitue teachers. If you have an AA degree or above and are interested in taking an authorized substitute teacher class to sub in our school, please reach out to the school office.
Thank you for choosing IC School and sharing your children with us. Have a great night!

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
