Many of the new books teachers are purchasing are non-fiction books that align with the new Idaho Core Standards.

Title 1 Family Math Night

Family Math Night

Come join the fun on Tuesday, October 22nd, at our ninth annual Perrine Title 1 Family Math Night!  You will be shown how to have fun teaching your child to do hands-on math activities using basic household items.  

Dinner of hot dogs, chips, yogurt, and water will be given to the first 250 people in attendance!

Activities begin at 6:00 and ends at 8:00.  Prizes will be awarded at the end of the night for students who complete activities.  Prizes include balls, jump ropes, and a television. 

Family Math Night is sponsored by the Perrine Title I department, Chobani, Falls Brand Meats, and HUB Insurance.  Please support these local businesses who give back to our community. Can't wait to see you there!

Walk to School Day

Once again, IB Perrine will be participating with Federal Express and Magic Valley Safe Kids to walk to school on October 9th.  We will meet at 7:30 a.m. at the corner of Sparks and Ridgeway to start walking to Perrine.  Joining us on our walk will be Presley the Panther and Screetch the Canyon Ridge High School Riverhawk.  Come join our walk to school!

Bully Free Awareness Day

October 9 is Bully Free Awareness Day. We are asking all students to wear orange on that day.  We are sending a message to people around our town and school that we strive to be bully free.  Please send your child to school in orange and talk to them about how they can help Perrine be a Bully Free Zone.  Talk to your child about what they need to do if they are being bullied at school.  We teach kids to tell students they are not appreciative of how they are being treated, then to go tell an adult about the problem so an adult can help get the problem resolved.  Let's strive to make our school Bully Free.
