📢 Cedar Bluffs Wildcat Coin Challenge
What is a Challenge Coin? Originally used by Special Forces to recognize soldiers for outstanding acts, boost morale, and build camaraderie, challenge coins are now used by military and law enforcement units to show pride in being part of a particular organization.
Now, we’re bringing that tradition to Cedar Bluffs!
Our students will have the opportunity to EARN their very own Wildcats Challenge Coin by being recognized for outstanding character, leadership, kindness, school spirit, hard work, and going above and beyond.
Your coin is meant to be carried with you — in your pocket, backpack, or bag. It is NOT meant to sit in a drawer!
On a particular day of the week or month, there will be a "Challenge Coin Day" to see who remembered to bring theirs to school. No reminders will be given prior! If someone initiates a coin challenge by holding their coin up or in their open hand and announcing “COIN CHECK!”, be ready to show yours!
Those who have their coin may earn a special treat or privilege.
So, carry it, enjoy it, show your Wildcat pride, and don't forget it!
A huge THANK YOU to Vern Gruenke for designing these special coins for our school and giving our students the opportunity to earn and be part of this fun tradition!
📚 We’re excited to share that our school library received a 3,000 grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation!
This funding will help us update our nonfiction collection and give our students access to even more books and learning resources. A big thank you to the Dollar General Literacy Foundation for supporting literacy and our students! 💙

Our Wildcats will hit the road and travel to Bancroft-Rosalie for round two this Sunday!

📢 Head Lice Information for Families
We have had multiple cases of head lice identified today in both the elementary and middle/high school. As a precaution, we are checking students throughout the school to help identify cases and limit further spread. If live head lice are found on your child, you will be contacted directly by the school.
We strongly encourage all families to check their children at home as an additional precaution. When checking, carefully examine the hair and scalp under good lighting, paying particular attention to the areas behind the ears and near the neckline. Signs of head lice may include frequent itching or scratching, live lice moving through the hair, or nits (eggs) firmly attached to individual strands of hair close to the scalp.
If you find live head lice, please begin treatment and notify the school health office. Continue to check your child’s hair regularly and carefully follow the treatment instructions, including any recommended follow-up treatment. We also encourage families to check other members of the household for signs of head lice.
As an additional precaution, please follow treatment recommendations for recently used bedding, clothing, hats, towels, combs, and brushes. Students should also be reminded not to share hats, brushes, combs, hair accessories, or other personal items that come into contact with their hair.
Our custodial staff will also be thoroughly cleaning classrooms and other commonly used areas throughout the school as an additional precaution to help limit the potential spread.
🤝 District Guidance for Head Lice
The following guidelines are in place to help control head lice, reduce student absences, and involve families as partners with the school.
Due to the number of head lice cases we are currently seeing, students who are found to have nits (eggs) are also being sent home today as an additional precaution. We appreciate families’ understanding and cooperation as we work to limit the spread of head lice within our school.
1. Students will be sent home from school if live head lice are found. If a student has two cases of live lice within the same semester, the student will be sent home and may return once they are free of both live lice and nits (eggs).
2. Health office staff will provide families with written treatment information and instructions, including information on how to check for and identify head lice.
3. A student who is sent home due to head lice should miss no more than two school days.
4. Before returning to class, a student who has been sent home due to head lice must report to the health office for an inspection.
5. If a student returns to class with nits (eggs), the student will be checked again in 7–10 days.
6. Families are encouraged to report cases of head lice to the school health office. This information helps us monitor the situation and take appropriate steps to limit the spread.
7. Classroom-wide or school-wide head checks may be conducted as needed to help control the condition at school.
Head lice are a common childhood occurrence and are not an indication of poor hygiene or cleanliness. We understand that dealing with head lice can be frustrating for families, and we appreciate everyone working together to help limit the spread.
Thank you for taking the time to check your children at home and for promptly notifying the school if you identify a case. If you have questions or need additional information about identifying or treating head lice, please contact the school health office.
Thank you for your cooperation and partnership.
