At Iveland, this plan begins with establishing a school climate of respect, support, and caring. This is obvious to everyone who visits. The Fight Free flag flies from the flagpole at the entrance to the building, a symbol of Iveland's commitment to the safety of all. The principal greets students each morning with words of encouragement, hugs, and plenty of smiles. Inside the building, colorful banners are suspended from the ceiling and bear messages reminding all to cooperate, be respectful, and be responsible.
Bulletin boards reinforce good decision making and celebrate student success.
Our classrooms are inviting, busy places, where outstanding teachers provide instruction that motivates and is effective for all learners. Often a visit to the principal's office means rocking and reading to the principal. Iveland also helps provide for material needs of students. Students, parents and community members are cared for, welcomed and respected. The journey toward the goal of increased student achievement continues with involving all stakeholders in making key decisions about curriculum, technology, and school climate.
