If you haven't already, please take a moment to review the important school documents Principal Ricci sent through ParentLink on August 18.
For the first time, ISD has posted many back- to-school documents in a folder on our website instead of sending home hard copies. It is important that you review each one to determine which ones apply to you and need to be completed. Please note the due dates.

Calling all returning ISD families! We are hosting an ISD buddy families program and we are looking for volunteer families to be buddies with our new incoming families for the 2015-2016 school year. We'd especially love some of our first grade families to participate as buddies since we have many new incoming kindergarten families. Please contact Tiff Noakes for more information or to sign up.
