THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS!!
Our IMS community is wonderful!!
Thanks to your generous contributions, and a matching contribution from our PTO funds, we were able to provide each of our dedicated teachers, administration members and staff with a generous gift -- and we also provided lunch! (Thank you to Kelli Messenger for arranging lunch!)
Thank you for expressing your gratitude to all those who are working so hard on behalf of our kids!
I am excited to embark on the 2nd semester beginning January 4, 2021! Although we will begin virtually for the first week, we will have an additional 139 students and families joining or rejoining our IMS family!
I am also excited to welcome (and welcome back):
Mr. Minks (7th and 8th grade Social Studies),
Ms. Scordo (6th and 7th grade Math),
Ms. Pollack (6th and 7th grade English Language Arts),
Ms. Ohanesian (6th and 7th grade Science),
Mr. Becerra (Physical Education and Lifelong Fitness).
Students must return to their 1st period teacher for 7th period on Day 2!
Please help us by ensuring that your child brings his/her fully charged Chromebook each day.
Students will have the opportunity for picture retakes on Thursday, Jan 21 (new date).
We invite our EDL students to come on this day.
We will create an alpha split schedule, so their picture can be in the yearbook. Please watch for the schedule!
Our yearbook order forms went home this week.
If interested, please consider getting your order in early.
We over ordered last year and will be cutting way back. This means we will not have extras for last minute purchases.
Envelopes for EDL students will be available on Tuesday, Dec 8 at Picture Day, if you prefer not to use the online system.
TITLE I STATUS STILL IN JEOPARDY!
Our percent of students who qualify for free and reduced has declined to a point that we could lose our Title I status.
These funds help pay for one of our counselors, our Instructional Specialist, our intervention teachers, supplies and professional development for teachers, and parent involvement activities.
If you qualify, your family not only receives support with breakfast and lunch, but also reduced fees for athletics and other extra-curricular needs.
Please use a computer -- not a phone -- to complete the application. (The website doesn't work smoothly on a phone...)
If you need help completing the application, please contact Leticia Pereda, our Community Specialist at lpereda@susd.org, or your child’s guidance counselor. Your help is greatly appreciated!
