Please take just a few minutes to complete this PARENT SATISFACTION SURVEY. We invite all Andrew CSD resident parents/guardians to participate if they have a child who attends Andrew Elementary or a JH/HS student who attends Bellevue or Maquoketa Schools through whole grade sharing. Our school board will be using your feedback to target efforts to enhance your experience with our school systems. We greatly appreciate your input.
Parents and Guardians. LEAP will not go bowling today. The bowling alley is redoing their lanes. LEAP will be staying at school.
Please join us for the 2024 Parent Lighthouse Trivia Night on Saturday, February 10th. This event is a fundraiser for the Andrew School and Andrew Fire Station all in one event. Attached is the flyer for this event with information and your children will be bringing a hard copy home later this week.
Andrew Community,
One of the greatest things we can give during this season is blood. By donating blood you can save a life and at the same time help the students raise funds for classroom materials. Below is a flyer, QR Code, and a person to contact to get signed up. I hope to see you there!!
Take your family for a stroll through downtown Maquoketa, read the great Jan Brett book The Animals' Santa, and then stop at the Maquoketa Public Library Children's Room to select your own reward book from the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading. It's one of the benefits of being in a community full of great partnerships!
Below is a link to access an electronic copy of the Hawk Herald. If you would like a printed copy, please contact the school office at 563.672.3221.

Andrew Elementary will be closed for Winter Break from December 21, 2023, to January 3, 2024. During this time, both of our gyms will be closed as well. The old gym floor has started to buckle and is getting a much needed facelift over break. We hope everyone enjoys a well-deserved break filled with relaxation and family
time.
Reminder. Today is the last day for afternoon LEAP until after winter break.
No afternoon LEAP tomorrow, Wednesday December 20th.
Decorating and eating Christmas cookies. Yummy!
Reminder. There is no afternoon LEAP this Wednesday, December 20th.

Andrew Families,
Tomorrow we are sending this flyer home with our students. It has information on how to sign up for YMCA basketball this winter. The YMCA is looking to see if there are people interested in assisting with youth coaching. They are also looking for teams that would be interested in playing in Maquoketa in January and February. If you have any questions please reach out to CoIin. His contact information is below.

Andrew Families,
Attached are two opportunities we sent home with your children. These activities are over winter break. Both activities seem like something fun to do, a great way to meet others, and at a very low cost. I hope some of you take advantage of these wonderful opportunities!!
This holiday season we have students who are in need of new or gently used winter gear and shoes. Tomorrow at our holiday concert, we will have a giving tree set up at the front entrance with ornaments containing various items our students are in need of. If you are interested in giving, please stop by and take an ornament. Please bring requested items to the front office by Wednesday, December 20th. We will also have our Toys for Tots bin out if you'd like to bring a new wrapped toy to donate. Thank you for your help in our efforts to continue to support our students and community! Please reach out to school counselor Anna Wille with any questions!
As a reminder, Andrew School is supporting Jackson County’s Toys for Tots toy drive. We are collecting new, unwrapped toys NOW through December 15th. Please bring all unwrapped toy donations to Andrew School.
Families,
Please return your candle fundraiser packets to school. The candle rep will pick up all returned packets this Friday. If we don't have your candle orders, we can order them for your customers. If you have any questions, please call the school office at 563.672.3221.
Retake Picture Day is 11/30/2023! If you're satisfied with your child's picture, no further action is required.
If you purchased and were unhappy with your Picture Package, please send your Picture Package to school with your student on Retake Day. Your Retake Picture Package will be produced and shipped to the school four weeks after Retake Day. Please note, if your child is photographed on the original and Retake Picture Days, the Retake picture will replace the original picture in certain products, like the yearbook.
Students who were absent for Picture Day should come to school prepared to have their picture taken. If you have not preordered, please use the Retake Order Code 78467ZF to place your order at https://inter-state.com/Order. To see your Order History, check your Inter-State Account.
Find answers to Retake Day questions here.
Families,
Just a reminder to send students with winter gear to stay warm while they play outside. If the real feel is 10 degrees or above we will go outside. Students need to have a coat, gloves, hat, boots, and snow pants to play in the snow.
