10/6/2025: Community Newsletter

This week is a busy one with the launch of our new two-lunch schedule, Curriculum Night, and Breakfast of Champions.

I’m especially excited for Curriculum Night. It’s one of my favorite events of the year because it highlights all the amazing things happening at Ingraham. When you visit, you’ll notice our clean courtyards, student work displayed throughout the building, the positive energy of our students, and the dedication of our staff. Plus, there'll be performances by Ingraham’s Drumline and Mariachi Band!

Community resources will be available starting at 6 p.m., followed by the main program at 7 p.m.

The community resource portion is a great opportunity to learn more about the many supports available to our students and families. Representatives from Special Education, the YMCA, District Security, Prevention and Intervention Services, Academic Specialists, our Testing Coordinator, our counseling department, and our Social Worker will be on hand to answer questions and share information. You’ll also meet student leaders who will give tours and talk about their experiences at Ingraham.

At 7 there will be a short welcome in the auditorium, then you’ll get to walk through your student’s schedule, just like you’re back in high school again.

It’s going to be a fun and meaningful night celebrating our students and staff. I hope to see you all there!

Our enrollment numbers came in higher than expected, which means Ingraham received additional funding for our counseling department. Ms. Le, one of our amazing counselors, will now be working an additional day each week to better support our students. This will allow us to continue providing strong academic, social-emotional, and college/career support for all Rams. Our counseling alpha assignments will change some. More details on that will be shared in the next newsletter.

Please bring a copy of your student’s schedule. Schedules can be accessed through The Source or directly from students. Be sure the schedule includes room numbers, since this will guide you as you move from class to class during the evening.
