On Wednesday, students in Miss Dausel's anatomy class visited the cadaver lab at Northwestern College in Orange City. While there, they were able to take a tour of the science building on campus & use NWC's dissection tables to test their knowledge.

Students in Miss Dausel's physics class got to visit Adventureland Park on Friday to apply real life physics concepts to roller coasters! The students made predictions before arriving at the park to see how close they could get to actual observations and AI-assisted analysis. Students collected data and made observations while on the roller coasters, and then used AI software to analyze their results. This mirrored the way many fields of science and engineering now operate.

The SC 6th graders are making a difference creatively! 🎨

Mrs. Teague’s 6th-grade technology class recently designed their own coloring pages using Canva, then took their creations to the preschool to share with our youngest learners.

It was a great opportunity for our students to combine technology, creativity, and leadership while building connections across grade levels. The smiles (from both groups!) said it all. 💙

Great work, 6th grade!

The Ridge View Middle School Student Council spent the day on Wednesday doing community service in both Schaller and Early. They did a great job and learned the importance of giving back to the communities.

A reminder to come tonight to support your Raptor fine arts programs! There will be an art show availale to viewing for the public in the south gymnasium before the concert with doors opening at 6pm for the art show!

If you are uncertain of your child's balance, please contact the school that your child attends to find out their balance. If your child owes money, please get the bill paid so that our staff can prepare to do the end of the year budgeting. Thank you for taking care of this matter. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the school. Thank you! #CLAWSUP

Attention girls track parents!!!

Today's girls meet in Storm Lake is at the PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL track, not where they ran at last year. The address is 621 Tornado Dr.

Attention G-H parents!!!

Due to several activities happening today, there is a driver shortage and routes need to be combined. Country students on Denny, Dave Borchers, or David Thorburg's normal routes will be combined, resulting in either a possible 5-10 minute early or 5-10 minute late drop off. Please be advised, and sorry for any inconvenience.
