Ione School District

9/21/23 Ione Families and Community It’s hard to believe next week is the last of September already. Thank you to the staff and community who attended our Board meeting this week. I would like to welcome our new School Resource officer-Morrow County Deputy, Jacob Stutzman. Just a reminder, in the mornings the students will go to breakfast or to the gym. Parents, if you are walking kids in, feel free to walk them to the gym or to breakfast. We ask parents if you want to chat with a teacher, set up a time with the teacher. Our preschool parents are still walking the little kids down for now. Thank you for your help. Also, a reminder for students who are riding their bike or scooter to school, we ask them to walk their bike or scooter in front of the building on the sidewalk for safety. We have a lot of foot traffic in the mornings and afternoons. Thank you for helping keep everyone safe. Our bond project managers, Earl and Doug met with our construction team from Kirby Nagelhout on Monday for a preconstruction meeting. We will send out dates as soon as they are set for a ribbon cutting ceremony to start construction and timeline of estimated construction deadlines. As we all know, in construction things can be delayed for many reasons. We will make sure we keep everyone updated on progress and milestones. Looking forward to seeing this exciting project start! It’s that time of year again, the weather is changing and getting colder. Please make sure students are prepared for the weather. If your family is in need of assistance with coats or anything else, please contact Mrs. Cydney McElligott or myself. We are happy to help anyway we can. Upcoming events: Saturday, september 23- Ione Ed Foundation dinner 5pm doors open, 6pm dinner, 7pm auction Volleyball crossover games Tuesday, September 26th- Soils competition at Pilot Rock Go Cards! Tracey Johnson Ryan Rudolf Familias y Comunidad de Ione Es difícil creer que la próxima semana ya sea la última de septiembre. Gracias al personal y a la comunidad que asistieron a nuestra reunión de la Junta esta semana. Quiero dar la bienvenida a nuestro nuevo oficial de recursos escolares, el Diputado del Condado de Morrow, Jacob Stutzman. Solo un recordatorio, por las mañanas, los estudiantes irán a desayunar o al gimnasio. Padres, si están acompañando a sus hijos, siéntanse libres de llevarlos al gimnasio o al desayuno. Les pedimos a los padres que si desean hablar con un maestro, programen una cita con el maestro. Nuestros padres de preescolar todavía están acompañando a los niños pequeños por ahora. Gracias por su ayuda. Además, un recordatorio para los estudiantes que van en bicicleta o en scooter a la escuela, les pedimos que caminen con su bicicleta o scooter frente al edificio por la acera por razones de seguridad. Tenemos mucho tráfico de peatones por las mañanas y las tardes. Gracias por ayudar a mantener a todos seguros. Nuestros gerentes de proyectos de bonos, Earl y Doug, se reunieron con nuestro equipo de construcción de Kirby Nagelhout el lunes para una reunión previa a la construcción. Enviaremos las fechas tan pronto como se establezcan para una ceremonia de corte de cinta para comenzar la construcción y un cronograma de fechas estimadas para la construcción. Como todos sabemos, en la construcción las cosas pueden retrasarse por muchas razones. Nos aseguraremos de mantener a todos actualizados sobre el progreso y los hitos. ¡Esperamos con ansias el inicio de este emocionante proyecto! Es esa época del año nuevamente, el clima está cambiando y haciéndose más frío. Por favor, asegúrense de que los estudiantes estén preparados para el clima. Si su familia necesita ayuda con abrigos o cualquier otra cosa, por favor, comuníquese con la Sra. Cydney McElligott o conmigo. Estamos felices de ayudar de cualquier manera que podamos. Eventos próximos: Sábado, 23 de septiembre: Cena de la Fundación Educativa de Ione a las 5pm, apertura de puertas; cena a las 6pm; subasta a las 7pm. Partidos de voleibol en cruce.

September 8, 2023 Ione families and community We have wrapped up our 2nd week of school. We unfortunately had to close the pool early due to maintenance issues. Today the elementary did have a guest STEAM (science, technology , engineering,art and math) teacher from the Sage center here visiting each classroom with a steam activity. Also, our middle school volleyball and football teams have started practice this week. Mark your calendars for September 23, for our annual Ed Foundation dinner and auction. Doors open at 5pm, dinner at 6pm, and auction at 7pm. The students from Ione schools will be providing the table decorations, while the high school volleyball players will be your servers. As superintendent, I hope to send out a letter at least twice a month on what is happening around school and any updates we have on new staff. Our FFA program is moving forward, we are working out the details and advisor, but the FFA leadership students have had a meeting and are preparing for upcoming events. If you are interested in being the FFA advisor, please contact myself or Mr. Rudolf for more information. We have welcomed back Mrs. Lara Neiffer to the staff and hired Melanie McCubbin as a middle/high school education assistant. Here in Ione, in face of some adversity and conflict the last few weeks, here at school we are focusing on our students, staff and working with our community to support our students everyday for the best education possible.If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the office for a volunteer form.

Hello Ione School District Students & Families, Unfortunately, our school community has been experiencing a difficult and stressful time in the past few weeks. The next School Board meeting is tonight, Tuesday, September 5th @ 5:30 pm. While I cannot speak about that situation, I would like to communicate about something more important – the 23-24 school year. Ione School’s Teachers, Instructional Aides and entire Staff have done an amazing job of starting the school year strong. They are focused on our most important priority – our students and their success. I encourage parents and families to talk to your students about the excitement of the new school year, what they are starting to learn in their new grade and getting to know their new teacher and classmates. As always, if you have concerns about your child’s classroom, please talk to your child’s teacher. If you have other questions or concerns, please contact me. Thank you for your support as we all work toward making this a positive, successful school year. Go Cards! Mrs. Tracey Johnson Superintendent/Principal
