The
Ida Elementary School has been designated a Reward School by the Michigan
Department of Education. It is ranked in the top 5% of schools in the State.
Congratulations to the entire elementary staff and thank you for doing a great
job!
Mrs.
Waldron will be chaperoning an Eighth Grade Class Trip to Washington D.C. next
school year. Hopefully, students and parents will embrace this opportunity and
participate in the trip. All costs for the trip will be the responsibility of
the parents but several fundraisers will be scheduled so that students will have
an opportunity to raise money and minimize trip costs. Our goal is to offer a
middle school trip to Washington D.C. regularly so that all students have the
opportunity to tour the nation’s capital.
The
Board of Education passed a resolution stipulating that Ida Public Schools
meets 7 of the 8 Best Practices as defined by the Governor. The district will
now receive approximately $75,000 in additional revenue for the 2013 budget
year.
Once
approved, the meeting minutes are posted on the district web-site at
www.idaschools.org.
