North Tama Elementary is focusing on our students being responsible for their belongings; especially clothing, jackets, hats, shoes, etc. You can assist in this process by properly labeling your child's items that they bring to school. On the second and fourth Fridays of the month, the tub will be cleaned out. Items not labeled or claimed will be put in the Clothing Bin outside of the school.

If you believe your child has lost an item, please contact Cindy Zimple promptly at 319-278-4465 ext. 153 or email her at cindy.zimple@n-tama.k12.ia.us.

We appreciate your assistance with this.
