Iotla Valley Elementary

Announcements Sept. 16th This is Goria Painter, the Assistant Principal at Iotla Valley Elementary. I am calling with some important information. Parents, we are actively working to send invitations for your student's registration through Infinite Campus. Please check your email for an invitation. If you have not received an email, please communicate this with your student's classroom teacher and have them send the email to our data manager. Once your account is set up, you must go to the online registration link at the bottom of the app. Fourth Grade Choir Club will meet on Monday after school until its time for bus dismissal. Fri., Sept. 20 is Western Day - dress in your best jeans, boots, and western gear. Attendance Information: Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. Start building this habit in preschool, so they learn right away that going to school on time every day is important. Eventually, good attendance will be a skill that will help them succeed in high school and college.

The link for lifetouch was posted on our social media pages and teachers may have sent information through rooms. A reminder that t-shirts are still available to order and sminels will be sold on Monday mornings. Attendance information- Missing 10%, or about 2 days each month over the course of a school year, can make it harder to learn and read. We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

This is Goria Painter, the Assistant Principal at Iotla Valley Elementary. I am calling with some important information. Wednesday, September 4th, is Picture Day. Please make sure you have your car rider pass placed on the visor. This makes it easier for the person who is calling for car riders. If you have placed an IVE t-shirt order via Google Form or through your child's classroom teacher, please send the payment through your student folder or at the front office. Orders are due by September 13th. This is a reminder that SMINCELS are on sale Monday mornings. They are $2 each or $5 for 3. This is a fundraiser for our field day at the end of the school year. This Friday is another Wolfpack Spirt Day. Please wear your IVE t-shirt from previous school years if you have one. Attendance information - We can’t afford to think of absenteeism as merely a lack of compliance with school rules. Absences represent lost opportunities to learn in the classroom. We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

Our new student information system is here! North Carolina public schools are transitioning from PowerSchool to NCSIS powered by Infinite Campus. The new NCSIS has additional features to help you monitor your child's educational progress and a mobile-friendly experience that makes it easier to see everything on the go! Parent(s)/Gaudian(s), you will receive an email from Macon County Schools inviting you to join /register for NCSIS powered by Infinite Campus. Whether your student is new or returning, you will need to register and update information for your student. This email will contain an Activation Code to complete registration. Once the email is received, please follow the instructions in the images below. ALL parent(s)/guardian(s) are required to update their student information or register their student online using NCSIS powered by Infinite Campus. Macon County Public Schools has created a web page to help parent(s)/guardian (s) with this transition. https://www.macon.k12.nc.us/o/mcs/page/parent-and-student-portal iPads will be available during Open House for families who would like to complete this process or for anyone who needs assistance.
