Winter Break Holiday for ISY Facilities
We are happy to announce that the ISY sports and fitness facilities will be open to the community over Winter Break. However, all facilities will be closed on Friday & Saturday, December 24 & 25, for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, as well as Friday & Saturday, December 31 & January 1 for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
Please keep in mind that the safety of our students, parents, faculty and staff is of utmost importance. If ISY ever feels that it is unsafe to open campus for any reason, the community will be notified via email. We strongly recommend that you do not travel from home to ISY if it is unsafe to do so and that you do not come onto campus if you are experiencing any COVID symptoms whatsoever. In choosing to use the facilities at ISY, you are agreeing to adhere to the ISY COVID safety guidelines listed at the bottom of this post.
The following Winter Break schedule is subject to change. Community members need to use the online reservation system to book a space. Please note when making reservations: if a space does not appear, it is either full or has been blocked as the school is not open.
Swimming pool lane space is limited! If you reserve a lane and cannot make it for your session PLEASE cancel your reservation by emailing lisom@isyedu.org. We ask that family members share a lane whenever possible.

Athletics Blog – August 19th
As the new Athletic Director, I am excited to be here at ISY and I’m as ready as you are to start the new school year. My first blog post will be a very busy one, with information on secondary and elementary school athletics programs, as well as Session 1 ASAs. I know many parents are also excited to see what the swim programs have to offer this year so there is a special page set aside for that as well.
