Athletics & Activities Blog – February 5
Please follow the rules while wearing a mask.
Earlier this year, we reopened the facilities after a short break. Since reopening, ISY has been very clear that people using the facilities need to wear masks at all times, stay in groups of no more than six, and social distance at 6 feet apart. This is for the safety of the whole community and follows both government and health guidance. Recently, members of the PE department have increasingly had to remind members of the community about the rules that we have in place. Unfortunately, those reminders have not always been followed. Please let me emphasize again that these rules are for the safety of the community and must be obeyed at all times. We need to make sure everyone is safe at all times at ISY, which necessitates we all do our part and follow the rules.
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to our talented PE assistants so that it is easier for you to put a name to a face when one of them approaches you.

Community Education
The philosophy of ISY is to be both a school and a community center for its families and faculty. By offering activities and courses for adults, we are aligning with ISY’s vision of developing lifelong learners. With that in mind, we are excited to announce a few opportunities for Community Education this fall.
