As we enter November, our focus turns toward technology and Veteran's Day.  Many plans are underway to ensure your child is exposed to technology and the needs of our Veteran's in a developmentally appropriate way.

In honor of our Veterans and deployed military this year, ISPR classes will be supporting the Warrior Dogs project through Cards for Canines.  Some classes may also choose to participate in Patriotic Paws.  Cards for Canines sends cards to deployed soldiers and their working dogs to show our support.  Patriotic Paws supports veterans who are in need of service dogs to help them reintegrate into daily routines.

If your family would like to personally support this effort on behalf of ISPR, click HERE, to put together a care package for veteran or deployed soldier.  Packages can be dropped off at the school and will be picked up/delivered to the Warrior Dogs Care Package Project.

This is a very exciting week on the ranch.  Your donations during the Giving Challenge have arrived and ISPR has purchased $20,000 in smart board technology to ensure that every K-8 classroom in our school will have access to these incredible tools.  We anticipate that the technology and installation will be completed in all classrooms prior to winter break.

In addition, we are adding CompuChild to our wrap around programming for four-year-olds.  CompuChild registration information is available in the VPK classrooms and our first classes will begin in November. Your child will be better prepared for Kindergarten by learning the correct terminology, use and fuctionality of the computer, its parts and programs.
