Hello Parents! 🐝The Scripps National Spelling Bee is a 101 year old tradition, and Calera Intermediate School is excited to be participating for the 3rd year in a row. Each class will have their own Spelling Bee during the first week of December. All students are encouraged to participate. Our goal is for each student to spell one word. Classroom accommodations are available for students with IEPs, 504 plans, and I-ELPs. Your student will have a paper copy of the study list in their take home binder.

Thank you all for your continued support.
Here is a little information as we head into a new week:
-Car Rider Line is from 7:15-7:45 in the mornings. The last car unloads at 7:48. If you arrive after this time, you will need to sign your child in at the front office. This is because students are supposed to be in class ready to learn at 7:50. Please note that many morning work assignments start at 7:35, so we recommend your child arrive at 7:30.
-September is Attendance Awareness Month- remember your child's presence matters. If they are not at school they are missing out on necessary learning experiences. Please make every effort to make sure your child is at school and on time each day.
-Kona Ice is this Tuesday. If you did not prepay for Kona Ice, that is ok! Just send $4 in their Money Pouch that is in their binder. They will be able to turn it in to their teacher on Tuesday morning.
-Calera Homecoming is the week of 9/21/26-9/25/26. The dress up days are as follows: Monday- Tourist / Traveler, Tuesday- Camping, Wednesday- Space, Thursday- Color Day: 3rd- Pink, 4th- Blue, 5th- Green, Friday- Calera Gear (See attached flyer for more details)
