Attendance Champions: 5th Grade Takes the Belt!
We have some incredible news to share! As we wrap up the testing month of April, one grade level stood out by showing up and giving it their all every single day.
A massive congratulations to our 5th Grade Students for earning the title of Attendance Champions for the entire month of April!
Why It Matters
Testing season can be a marathon, but our 5th graders proved that half the battle is simply being present. By maintaining the highest attendance rate in the school, these students ensured they were ready, focused, and supported for every challenge.
Way to Go, 5th Grade!
We are so proud of your commitment and the example you’ve set for the rest of the school. Showing up every day builds strong habits that lead to big success.
To our 5th-grade families: Thank you for your partnership in getting your scholars to school on time and ready to learn!

🏀 READERS ARE LEADERS AT INDIAN WELLS! 📚 Big cheers are echoing through the halls for our incredible 3rd grade in Ms. Yazzie’s and Ms. DeHaan’s classes! 🌟 Our IWES 3rd grade Roadrunners were "caught reading" and have been officially recognized by the 2026 NCAA Read to the Final Four! Out of all the competitors in the Best of the Rest challenge, these students proved they are true stand-out leaders. Why do we celebrate? Because: • Reading helps us dream bigger. • Reading makes us think stronger. • Reading prepares us to lead! Ms. Yazzie and Ms. DeHaan’s students have been logging their minutes, exploring new worlds, and showing the community what Indian Wells excellence looks like. Enjoy your new books and swag, superstars—you earned it! 🏆📖
A huge shout-out to Mrs. Yazzie’s 5th graders for achieving an outstanding 99% attendance all week! Your commitment to being at school every day truly shows, and it paid off. You’ve officially earned the Attendance Champion Belt for the week! 🏆
Thank you for demonstrating responsibility, consistency, and Roadrunner pride. Keep up the great work, showing up every day makes a difference!
