Thank you for a GREAT Year!!

Students and Parents,

With less than a week to go before this school year wraps up, I wanted to take the opportunity to say THANKS from all of us here at IMS.

While this year was a move toward what we think back on as being "pre-Covid," it was still a year with many, many, many challenges which affect students, families, and staff working together to help students grow into more responsible and caring citizens. From the new transportation system, to continuing student and staff Covid absences, to ongoing staffing challenges, it has been a long, but meaningful year. Thank You!

Social Media - Growing Student Responsiblity

I would like to ask all parents to renew your efforts this summer to be aware of how your children are using their technology tools, and specifically their cell phones. As I'm sure you are aware, we've had the daily opportunity to work students through the challenges which come with using this technology responsibly.

Whether it is sharing too much personal information, saying things about others that they would never say to the persons face, to posting or reposting rumors they hear from people the may not even know...the challenge of teaching responsible use of technology and social media is a HUGE undertaking. This summer please do whatever you can to reinforce appropriate and responsible use of technology with your children.

Our Bluejacket character traits of Responsibility, Respect, Compassion, Honesty, and Self-Discipline are always relevant in the lives of our children.
