Dear IPS Families,      Thank you for a wonderful 2019-2020 school opening! All members of our school community have quickly gotten into new routines.  Attendance at school each day is necessary for your child to make optimal growth this year. Student absences cause them to miss important lessons and skills which are building blocks for the next day’s instruction. When students miss prior lessons, they feel stressed and behind as soon as they return to school. We want your child at school every single day! (Of course, if students are sick or have a fever, they should not come to school.)       For those of you who drop off or pick up your children in the back of the school, I have a few reminders. Please do not let your child out in the back in the morning if there is not an adult there to open the car door. The back gate is locked once all staff come inside and your child will not be able to get inside the building if there isn’t an adult present. Also, in the afternoons, if there is a lightning storm, we will not be putting children in cars as we usually do. You will have to walk up with your car tag to pick up your child. We will keep all students and staff inside the building to be safe.      Please continue to support our school theme, “Be the Change,” as you teach, model, and practice ways to be a positive change in our school and community. I look forward to seeing you all at our Parent Nights held throughout the month of September (See calendar). Our teachers will be sharing very important information about how to make this a productive school year for your child. Respectfully, Kay Harper, Principal
