Supply list for next year

Dear Families,

I am very excited to announce that Alexis Stoner is going to be the new 5th grade math/science teacher!  I hope that everyone has a fun and productive summer.  I can't wait to see all of the new faces as well as returning students of IA next year. This upcoming year is going to be fantastic!
Also, I have put together a list of supplies that will be helpful to our learning and growing this year. Please remember that supplies will be shared by the class community. Items marked with an "*" should be labeled with your child's name and will be kept separately. Since we are a free public charter school we may not require you to give us money. If you can afford however, we are asking for a donation that will go into a class fund for future supplies/field trips/books/etc.  Please take donations to Donna in the front office.
Thanks,
Bill and Alexis

Final Week!

First of all, I would like to thank all of the families who made it out to family night.  I believe it was our most successful exhibition we have had this year! We couldn't have done it without you.
 Looking back on this year fills my heart with many fond memories.  I am very proud of the community we built together. I will miss you all very much and I hope everyone will have a fun-fulfilled summer!
We are still in need of drivers for field trips on Wednesday and Thursday.  For our waterfall hike on Wednesday, it would be okay if you just wanted to shuttle children but not stay and chaperon. The trail head is only 2 miles away.
