Dear Parents

Next week is the last full week of the 2018-2019 school year, and there continue to be a tremendous amount of activities occurring. Below are a few essential items to be aware of followed by the list of things that are happening this week. Please contact the secondary school office if you have any questions.

ISY's class of 2019 will be graduating at 5:30 PM on May 27, 2018, at the Sedona hotel. This event incorporates many traditions. One special event is the Traditional Lighting of the Candle Ceremony where our grade 12 students pass the light, and symbolically, leadership to our grade 11 students. We anticipate grade 11 students will take part in these important traditions. If your child is unable to attend the ceremony, please let me know so we can make adjustments as needed.

Middle School Student Showcase for Learning: This event will take place on May 28, 2019, from 12:00-3:00 PM. Parents are requested to attend as students will be demonstrating their learning in specialist classes and will be sharing with you their learning portfolio. (Schedule) 

Grade 8 Moving on Ceremony: Following the Middle School Student Showcase for Learning on May 28, 2019, at 3:00 PM, the grade 8 students will be participating in a moving-on ceremony which recognizes the transition from middle school to high school.  Parents of grade 8 students are encouraged to attend.

Next school year supply list. Please take a moment to review.

Student Schedules for 2019-2020: This week High School students course lists have been shared giving students an opportunity to review what they have been registered to take for the 2019-2020 school year.  Students have been allowed to request changes. A final course list will be posted on PowerSchool by May 27, 2019.
