Our mission and goal is to build a strong academic and positive behavioral foundation for each student to grow from as they progress through their educational career. It is our mission to help produce productive and caring citizens who are life-long learners.
Our Philosophy: We believe that all learners will acquire the skills necessary to develop self-discipline, positive social relationships and academic success; these skills will be taught, expected, reinforced, and coached daily. Our Motto: Dream, Think, Believe, and Achieve by being Safe, Responsible, and Respectful.

Immunizations
You will hear from me if your child will need any immunizations before they can start school according to Missouri State Laws. Occasionally your child may need an immunization during the school year, I will contact you ahead of time in this case so we can ensure your child does not miss any school.
Health Concerns
If your child has a specific health concern, please be sure to let me know. I will be glad to work with you to make a plan to keep them healthy and ensure their success at school.
Medication Administration
Specifically, if your child takes daily medication and will need to take that medication at school, please have medication to school ASAP. A parent/or guardian needs to bring the medication, not the student. A permission form will need to be filled out at that time. The medication needs to be in the original box, with a prescription label that has your child’s name on it. No over-the-counter medication will be administered without a note from your child’s doctor.
Asthma
If your child has a current asthma diagnosis, I would like your child to have an inhaler in the school clinic. Inhalers, like any other medication must be in the original box and a permission form must be filled out. Additionally, it is helpful to have a copy of your child’s Asthma Treatment Plan from their physician so I can have a better idea of when your child may need their inhaler while at school
PTO/ P.T.S.C
We encourage and invite you to join our Parent Teacher Organization (P.T.O.) also referred to as Parents, Teachers, Students, Connected (P.T.S.C.). Any time and/or input you are able to give will be invaluable to our success. All parents/guardians and even extended family members are also encouraged to join by way of submitting membership dues ($6.00). Membership funds enable the P.T.S.C. to provide programs, activities, and/or supplies for all students. Thank you in advance for any support you are able to give.
Feel free to contact a member of our P.T.S.C. at 816-612-4280 or iceptsc1@gmail.com.
