***UPDATE*** Dom Falcone was first in line to report at 0535 to U.S. Military Academy at West Point as a new cadet for Class of 2025! Not surprised he followed one of our team expectations: ” If you’re on time, you’re late…Be early!”

Dear HS Athletes: My son is 4. Yesterday, I took him to HS ⚾️ games for the first time this summer. Today we went to the park to hit. He HAD to bring a backpack & his bat HAD to be in a side pocket.. “just like the big kids” U r always being watched, whether u want to be or not

Love having the Schwarckestra back and hear the sound of the Fight Song #TigerPride

In this house, we arm our kids with something a little different.

So awesome to have two high students certified and officiating games! After officiating they then rocked it in the pep band. Any HS students interested in getting certified, let us know and we’ll help ⁦IGHSAU⁩ ⁦IHSAA⁩

Joint statement by ISEA, SAI - Iowa and Iowa School Boards

It’s deplorable how little @Tiktok_us does to help school administrators ensure the safety of their students and staff. Just disgusting. No amount of cute videos can overcome your complicity in thousands of hours of work and caused anxiety across America for parents and kids.

WE EXPECT TO SEE THIS BILL ARRIVE IN THE STATEHOUSE THIS WEEK. Stay tuned to this page for action alerts, and put your legislators on speed dial. Find your legislators here: legis.iowa.gov/legislators/fi…. #ialegis #iaedfuture #iaedchat

My experience as a school principal right now…

The teacher is the single most important factor affecting student achievement. The principal is the single most important factor affecting building culture.

Every administrator can relate to this and the 2 am wide awake scenario!
