K-12 IMMUNIZATIONS

All students enrolled in the Gladbrook-Reinbeck Community School must have a permanent immunization card on file in the school system on the first day of school.  Immunization boosters are required before entrance into kindergarten.  Please schedule these early with your physician or county health nurse.  Tama and Grundy County Public Health Nursing Services offer immunization clinics each month. 

Please note the following additional immunizations or health forms that must be on file with the school nurse.  Grade-Specific letters are attached:

• 7^th Grade = Meningococcal and Tdap vaccines
• 9^th Grade = Certificate of Dental Screening
• 12^th Grade = Meningococcal vaccine

Children need good nutrition all year long. When school is out during the summer months, many children no longer have access to even one nutritious meal each day. Summer Meal Programs help to fill the gap. Research shows a lack of nutrition during the summer months may set up a cycle for poor performance once school begins. We must do all we can to ensure that children get nutritious food during the summer months so that they are ready to learn during the school year.
Sites are located in many communities across the country, especially in low-income areas. To find a site near you, call 1-866-348-6479 (English) or 1-877-842-6273 (Spanish).

There will be a boys tennis clinic for those who are entering grades 7-9 for the 2018-2019 school year. This is a FREE clinic that will be held at Bel Pre Park tennis courts (purple park) from 10:00-11:30am on Saturday, June 23, 2018. This clinic will go over learning the fundamentals of tennis!

If your child is interested in going to the clinic, please text or call Dale Boren at 319-404-5713 by June 20th.

2018-2019 G-R TK-6th GRADE PARENTS: 
Back by popular demand! The Gladbrook-Reinbeck Washington DC Kids program is excited to announce that we are once again offering SchoolKidz delivery as a great choice for parents who are looking to purchase back-to-school supplies at a reasonable cost.

This program will save you time and make back-to-school shopping EASY! SchoolKidz offers brand name school supply products (such as Crayola, Fiskar's, Elmer's, Ticonderoga and more) in their kits. Best of all, the kits contain items that have been requested by our teachers for each grade (TK and KG-6th).

We believe you will find the pricing to be very reasonable and comparable to what you would spend when driving around from store to store during the back-to-school rush.

Kits include all school supplies (excluding paint shirts, backpacks, and "Trapper Keepers" if desired). However, backpacks are also available to order separately if you wish to do so.

Kits are scheduled to be delivered to the school prior to the G-R Open House (which will be in August 2018) and placed in your student's home room class, so you can put the supplies right in to your child's desk or locker that night.

To order online, go to the SchoolKidz website [http://www.shopttkits.com/] and enter the Gladbrook-Reinbeck Account Number: 26389. Choose your student's grade level for 18-19 and complete your order!

The deadline to order (orders are on-line only this year) is June 22, 2018, so be sure to order your school supplies very soon!

SCHOOL SUPPLY LISTS FOR 2018-2019 are attached.
