Dear Parents,
Thank you for attending Back to School Night. I hope you enjoyed the evening and had the opportunity to learn more about your child’s classes. Please let us know if you have any feedback to improve the evening.
Internet Access for Students: Students and parents are required to sign the ISY Student Agreement of Acceptable Technology use by Monday, September 2nd. If this is not completed it will result in the student losing access to the school WiFi. After students complete and submit the agreement, both parents/guardians will receive the form to sign. Only one parent needs to sign the form.
October 11, 2019, Public Holiday and MS WWW – With the additional holiday on the 11th of October, we continue to investigate the possibility of adjusting our WWW schedule. More information will be shared next week once confirmation of the adjustment is obtained.
