Message from Mrs. Bever:

Happy February!

When you walk into Ivory Intermediate, you can feel it: we are going for gold. I see students pushing themselves, asking great questions, and not giving up even when learning feels hard. I also see teachers pouring their hearts into making sure every child grows every day. We talk a lot with our students about the fact that learning is required, but so is effort, perseverance, and pride in doing your best. I am incredibly proud of the work happening in our classrooms, and I’m grateful for our families who support us at home. Together, we are building strong learners and confident kids - one golden day at a time.

This month, we are excited to celebrate Kindness. We encourage all students and staff to engage in acts of kindness and participate in our special activities designed to promote compassion and friendship.

In addition, we will hold our Parent-Teacher Conferences on Feb. 17 and 19. Please save the date, and be sure to sign up for a time slot. As we approach Valentine’s Day, we will have fun classroom celebrations on Feb. 13.
 

One Good Thing:

Good Luck, Ivory Intermediate Cardinals!

The Ouachita County Spelling Bee will be held Friday, February 13, at 1:00 PM at SAU Tech, and we are so proud of the Cardinals representing us!

  •  1st Place: Aspen Field
  •  2nd Place: Luke Buhrman
  •  3rd Place: Kelsey Thrower

These students are proof that at Ivory Intermediate, #LearningIsRequired! We know they will represent our school community with confidence and #CardinalPride.
 

Announcements & Reminders:

Valentine's Day Gift Delivery Reminders: Camden Fairview will be accepting Valentine's Day gift deliveries for students on February 13. Deliveries should be made to the front office at each building by 1:00PM.  Balloons and glass items WILL NOT be transported home with students riding school buses. Please make sure your child’s first and last name and grade are on the delivery.

Join us next week at Student-Led Conferences! Ivory Intermediate families, you are invited to attend our upcoming Student-Led Conferences on Tuesday, February 17, or Thursday, February 19.

This conference experience allows students to guide the conversation by sharing their work, progress, strengths, and goals. It’s a meaningful opportunity for you to hear directly from your child about their learning journey.

Teachers will send a sign-up form through ParentSquare for you to select a conference time. We look forward to seeing you and celebrating your child’s growth together!
