From the Nighthawk Parent Organization

April 7, 2014


From Mr Szolowicz...

While many IRHS parents completed an extensive survey earlier this year for Advance-Ed, that survey did not include one key question that state law requires us to ask.

This survey addresses the question, "How would you rate the education your child is receiving?".  Please complete this survey as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Project Grad IRHS logo
Project Grad 2015 Event Chair needed ASAP!!!



Project Grad's current event chair, Joyce Contrades, is leaving IRHS at the end of May. This leaves a big hole that needs to be filled by an IRHS parent who values Project Grad.  None of the current committee members have the time to take on two roles. Someone new please step forward ASAP! It is best if somebody steps forward now to shadow Joyce through this year's event to learn the ropes. No previous experience  with PG necessary-training will be provided. Contact Joyce for more information. Check out the Project Grad Bulletin Board for the most recent information about the event. http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs105/1103564828682/archive/1115263381306.html
