Home of the Eagles - An A school

Dear IPS Families,
It is hard to believe that this school year is almost over! We are still doing district and state assessments, so please ensure your child receives lots of rest and eats breakfast either at home or at school. Thank you, parents and guardians for the support you have given your child, their teacher, and our school throughout this past year. Although this year has been different and challenging, our staff and students have worked hard to catch up on skills that may have been lost during virtual learning last year. We all must work as a team for "our" students to be successful.
It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement at the end of this school year. For thirty-seven years, I have been either a teacher, a literacy coach, an assistant principal, or principal in Citrus County, mostly at Inverness Primary School. Fortunately, I am leaving IPS in good hands! The district announced on Wednesday that the new principal will be Bridget Merchant. Some of you may remember Mrs. Merchant when she was assistant principal a couple of years ago. She is very excited to return to IPS and looks forward to meeting all of you next year.
Please put August 5th on your calendar for "Meet Your Teacher". More information will follow regarding place and time.
Take time this summer to enjoy family activities, especially spending time_ away from digital devices; play cards, play games, go bike riding, take hikes, cook together. Also, have your child practice their math facts and continue to read books.

I wish you a happy and safe summer.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Harper, Principal
