WACO Elementary Families,
From April 1-30, 2024, parents and families of students in preschool through grade 12 have the opportunity to participate in the Parent Conditions for Learning Survey. The Survey focuses on areas that range from student safety, to positive adult and student relationships, to school rules and how they are enforced. Participation in the Survey is encouraged, but it is completely voluntary, and all questions are optional to answer.
We highly value your input! See the images below for directions on how to take the survey. Thank you in advance for your participation!
Today was a lot of fun!
More pictures of the solar eclipse viewing today!
We had an exciting day as students learned about and had the opportunity to view the solar eclipse! Students wore special glasses provided by the school. Students and staff were outside on the lawns taking in the experience! Enjoy some pictures that staff captured.
A quick reminder that WACO will have school next Friday, April 12th, as part of the final snow make up day. Thank you.
Save the Date: 2024 WACO Foundation Golf Outing.
June 22, 2024 at Heritage Oaks in Morning Sun.
Registration will be coming out in May.
WACO Families,
All Iowa public school districts are required to administer an annual school climate and culture survey to students in grades 3-12 called Conditions for Learning Survey (Survey). The Survey is designed to measure their engagement in school, safety and the overall learning environment. Students in grades 3-6 will take the survey during the week of April 8, 2024.
From April 1-30, 2024, parents and families of students in preschool through grade 12 will also have the opportunity to participate in the Parent Conditions for Learning Survey. The Survey contains similar items to those on the Student Survey, focusing on areas that range from student safety, to positive adult and student relationships, to school rules and how they are enforced.

6th grade students learned about transportation in the agricultural industry. They also designed and tested packaging to protect a Pringles chip. Ag in the Classroom is so much fun!
