Irmo High School does not have a supply list for students. Individual teachers will inform students of any required supplies on the first day of class in their course syllabi. Students should plan to come prepared to the first day of school with a charged Chromebook.

Suggested items for success in all courses: pen/pencils, binders or folders, notebook or loose leaf lined paper, index cards, highlighters, etc.

Per the District 5 course catalog, no schedule changes will be accepted after June 15, 2023 except for the following circumstances:

• When credit has been earned during summer school.
• A prerequisite course is failed
• There is a computer error (schedule reflects a course not selected during course registration).

The Course Request Change form can be accessed here.

Dropping a course after the deadlines below will result in students receiving a WF (50%) in the course.

• The last day to withdraw from a semester class is August 21, 2023
• The last day to withdraw from a year long class is August 28, 2023

Students are required to wear their student IDs at all times. Students will receive their student ID during the first week of school. Students may order their own temporary and permanent ID replacement using this form. Temporary IDs are $1 and Permanent ID replacements are $5. All charges will be billed to student accounts.

Students should only be dropped off and picked up in front of the Center for the Arts.

See the document linked below for information on IHS Bus Routes and their pickup/dropoff times.

Afternoon buses pick up at both the East Wing and West Wing. See below for locations for each bus.

Student Parking Passes are now available. The cost for the 23-24 school year is $50. Students must have a valid drivers license, have completed the Alive at 25 course, and pay for the pass in full before receiving their pass. Students can pay online through their student account QuickPay (preferred) or with the bookkeeper in the main office.

Click below to apply for a parking pass and to review all parking pass requirements. Applications will not be processed until the student has completed the Alive at 25 course.

Seniors that have a study hall 1A, 4A, 5B or 8B may be allowed a senior study hall with parent/guardian and administrator approval. Only one block of senior study hall is permitted per day. After it has been approved, all students must sign in and out through the Attendance Office. It is the students’ responsibility to be on time for all classes. A student who has senior study hall may not be on campus during this time without administrator approval. The form below must be printed, signed, and returned to the attendance office for approval. Students may also pick up a printed copy from the attendance office.

Irmo High School will operate on a delayed opening schedule on most Wednesdays throughout the school year, beginning August 23, 2023. A list of Wednesdays with no delayed opening is below.
