Facility Access during the summer
Posted by the ISY Communications Team
Please note that this Friday (31st July) is the last day that school facilities will be open to the community before we open school on the 19th August. This is to allow for deep cleaning ahead of the start of school and is a government requirement. Our plans for community facility use after this time will be communicated over the first weeks of August.
For questions on the below please contact our Athletics Director, Ms. Isom (lisom@isyedu.org).
