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. Our next regular board meeting is Tuesday, Sep 19, 2023@ 5:30 pm in the cafeteria. We look forward to a great school year! Go Cards! Tracey Johsnon-Superintendent Ryan Rudolf- Dean of students/Athletic Director 8 de septiembre de 2023 Familias y comunidad de Ione, Hemos concluido nuestra segunda semana de clases. Lamentablemente, tuvimos que cerrar la piscina antes de tiempo debido a problemas de mantenimiento. Hoy, en la primaria, tuvimos una maestra invitada de STEAM (ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería, arte y matemáticas) del Sage Center visitando cada clase con una actividad de STEAM. Además, nuestros equipos de voleibol y fútbol de secundaria empezaron sus prácticas esta semana. Marquen sus calendarios para el 23 de septiembre, para nuestra cena y subasta anual de la Fundación Educativa. Las puertas abren a las 5pm, la cena es a las 6pm y la subasta a las 7pm. Los estudiantes de las escuelas de Ione estarán proporcionando las decoraciones de las mesas, mientras que los jugadores de vóleibol de preparatoria serán sus meseros. Como superintendente, espero enviar una carta al menos dos veces al mes sobre lo que sucede en la escuela y cualquier actualización que tengamos sobre el nuevo personal. Nuestro programa FFA está avanzando, estamos trabajando en los detalles y el asesor, pero los estudiantes líderes de FFA ya han tenido una reunión y se están preparando para los próximos eventos. Si está interesado en ser el asesor de FFA, por favor, contáctese conmigo o con el Sr. Rudolf para más información. Hemos dado la bienvenida nuevamente a la Sra. Lara Neiffer al equipo y contratamos a Melanie McCubbin como asistente educativa de secundaria/preparatoria. Aquí en Ione, ante cierta adversidad y conflicto en las últimas semanas, en la escuela nos estamos enfocando en nuestros estudiantes, personal y trabajando con nuestra comunidad para apoyar a nuestros estudiantes todos los días y ofrecer la mejor educación posible.

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
