WELCOME BACK, CIS FAMILIES!
CIS Staff have been working hard to get ready for the new school year to begin! We have some important information for you below so please take a minute to read below.
CALL FOR HELP
This Friday morning (tomorrow) we need a handful of strong helpers to move books and shelves from the library so that the carpet can be removed and tile can be put in! Please come by at 9 am to pitch in and help us get ready for the first day of school! We need you!
DATE CORRECTION for MYP ORIENTATION
MYP families, please note that there is an important correction to the calendar previously distributed. The MYP Orientation is scheduled for students and parents to be held on August 13th.

Please make every effort to attend this meeting if your child is in the MYP.
