Huskies in the Know

We are so excited to have you here for the 2024-2025 school year. It is an especially exciting year, since we are celebrating 20 years of DIIS! Our motto for this year is "Paw Pride". We must have pride in everything we do and tell everyone how amazing our campus is. We will always walk in willing and walk out READY!

Love, Mrs. Thomas

• 5/20-Field Day (no ISS/OSS since 4/7)

• 5/21-A/AB Honor Roll Awards

• 5/22-Last Day of School; Last Day to pick up Meds from the nurse by 4pm

*The cutoff to check out students or change mode of transportation for the day is 3:00pm*

*Parents-students should not be on cell phones in the pick up line. This delays movement*

*Please do not speed through the pick up lines. This is a big safety concern. Also, please be courteous to our crossing guard and teachers on duty. Do not park in any parking lot during drop off and pick up. No drop off/pick up in the back or side of the building.

*Biker shorts/leggings can be worn with a top that completely covers the rear end and front of the body. Tying a jacket around the waist will not suffice.

*Reminder-School starts at 8:30am. Students are tardy after that time*

If your child is NOT returning to Icenhower next year and is not attending an MISD School, please return the device to campus.

Beginning Monday, April 7th if a student receives any discipline infraction that results in ISS or OSS , they will be ineligible to attend upcoming field trips (Perot Museum for 5th) or Field Day (May 20th). Please talk to your Husky Pup about behavior expectations.

Courage is the ability and strength to face something that may be difficult or challenging. Courage is not the absence of fear but rather perseverance in the presence of fear and the willingness to stand up for what is right or try something new, even though it may be uncomfortable or uncertain.

Mrs. Mireles decided to do something different this year with her instruction. She decided to really dive deeper into her students’ data, even when it wasn’t comfortable. Her intentionality to stay the course and switch things up when something wasn’t working does not go unnoticed. Even when things got difficult, she never lost her smile or cheerful disposition. In addition, she has shown a great deal of confidence even when taking instructional risks. The best part is, she never swayed from the Capturing Kids’ Hearts process while doing it.

We love you, Mrs. Mireles!
