Principal's Message

 Welcome Visitors,   

This past month has been very exciting and our students and staff should be proud of their efforts to help others.  Spearheaded by our IMS physical education department, staff members raised $350 for the American Heart Association as they enjoyed dressing like phys ed teachers for a day.
  
Our students were the driving force for raising $1724 for our “Change for Haiti” coin collection.  Thanks to our community for all their contributions as well.  We are making a difference for others.
  
As a reminder, our building is trying very hard to get “greener” and help contribute to a positive environment.  Parents are reminded to check the parent portal for progress and report cards.  We ask only parents who do not have a computer to request a printed report card.  Therefore, we will not be sending any printed copies unless a written request is made each quarter.  Thanks for your support in advance.
  
Since the groundhog said six more weeks of winter, we are certain to have more students experiencing illnesses which keep them home from school.  We are asking that parents help us out by using study buddies to get class work for one and two day absences.  Only on the third day of an absence should a parent phone guidance to request homework from teachers.

When the groundhog made his prediction, he did not take our snow days into consideration! We have used three of them to date…as a result, schools will be open on Monday, April 5th and on Wednesday and Thursday, May 26th and May 27th.

Regards,

Timothy P. Martin - Principal
