Fire Prevention Week

The week of October 4-8 is National Fire Prevention Week. The ICFD will come to Weber on Tuesday to present the traditional puppet show to educate students about fire safety. They brought the Fire Safety Trailor to our Team 3 students a couple of weeks ago, as well.

Outstanding Student Citizen Award

On October 11th, three Weber students will be awarded an Outstanding Student Citizen Award from the City of Iowa City at the City Council Meeting.

Congratulation to Weber students, Kevin Hanson, Ali Tauchen, and Kaylee Guymon!

Fall Assessments

During the months of September and October, your child(ren) have and will be participating in a variety of assessments. The assessments assist teachers in identifying strengths and limitations and ultimately the information will result in guiding instruction. In September tests about reading were administered and will continue through early October. During October 11-15, students in grades 3-6 will take ITBS. This test covers reading, language, math, science, social studies and sources of information. And during the final week of October, students in sixth grade will take the Iowa Youth Survey.
