Dear Parents,

Thank you for attending back to school night last week. I am hopeful it has provided you with information for a successful school year.  If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask the classroom teachers or me.

Just a reminder that Monday, September 4, 2017, is a professional development day for teachers. Students will not have school.

Google classroom: On September 4, 2017, at 5:00 PM the secondary school will be hosting an information session for parents in order for them to better understand google classroom and it can help parents better understand what is happening in school.

Secondary students interested in swimming: Even though it’s not the season for swim teams yet, we would like to give swimmers a chance to start practicing 2 mornings a week on Wednesdays and Fridays from 6:00 – 7:30 AM. In order to be eligible students must register in the Aquatics Office by Monday, September 4 and attend a timing session on Wednesday, September 6 and Friday, September 8 from 6:00 – 7:30 AM.

The first week of school was filled with excitement, and renewed connections as students found their way through the campus and met their teachers. It was great to welcome the 60 new students and seven new staff members to ISY.

Please join us at ISY's Secondary Back to School Night on Wednesday, August 23, 2017. This is an opportunity to meet your child's teachers and learn more about the courses they are taking. We will distribute schedules for the evening starting at 5:00 PM in the SAS gym. We will begin the evening at 5:30 PM on the covered court with opening remarks from the School Director and the Secondary Principal. Throughout the evening parents will follow their child’s schedule, visiting their classrooms and teachers. As the schedule is condensed, if parents would like to discuss individual issues or questions about their child, individual appointments on another day should be arranged. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended as there are many stairs.

If your child takes the bus home, please know that he/she must be at the pickup location no later than 2:55 PM.


Please make sure to check the school website for Secondary Sports and Pool Information.
