To start our learning in Art, students learned about an abstract artist named Frank Stella. He likes color shape, lines and overlapping shapes. So they had to create a piece of abstract art that has at least four shapes on it with different mediums. They got to learn how to use the mini cutters and the chomp saws safely to accomplish that task.

Get your orders in by this Friday. The PTO's first fundraiser of the year is coming to an end. On back to school night or the first day of school your student came home with a packet from PTO explaining what they do and what amazing things your money has been used to fund. Included was an order form for Casey's punch card. With each order of a large pizza, you get a medium pizza free! It's a great deal, so don't miss out and get your orders in soon!

Our staff is back together! ⭐

We spent part of today learning, collaborating, sharing ideas, and preparing for the year ahead. There’s something pretty special about seeing our teachers and staff reconnect and work together with one goal in mind — creating a great experience for our students.

We’re getting closer, Shepard Stars! ❤️

🚨 Mark Your Calendars, Lancer Nation! 🔴⚪

Family Week is right around the corner! From Sunday, July 26th through Sunday, August 2nd, 2026, North Scott is officially hitting the pause button on all school activities.

Here is what you need to know:

Time to Unplug: There will be no access to school facilities, practices, camps, or team/club communications. We want our entire Lancer community to take a well-deserved break and focus on family.

Ag & FFA Exception: You’ll still see our hard-working FFA and Agriculture students on campus as they make final preparations for the Mississippi Valley Fair and the Iowa State Fair! 🌾 Hard work pays off—Go Lancers!

Take this week to recharge, explore our awesome Eldridge community, host a family game night, or simply relax together. Enjoy the quality time!
