Intramural Volleyball Registration Is Ongoing
Click here to register for Intramural Volleyball
Intramural Volleyball is open to all students in grades 6-8 and participants attend by grade level. Volleyball games run February 23- March 20!
The deadline for signups is Tuesday, February 3rd at 2:30pm. Due to the popularity of this activity and the time it takes for team selection and scheduling, any late requests to register will be placed on a waitlist and will only be added to a team if there is available space.
The fee for intramural sports is $50 for one sport and $75 for unlimited intramural sports. So if your child played an earlier intramural sport, the fee may be only $25. If you are unsure of your fee, please reach out to Mrs. Henderson at khenderson@ipsk12.net before you make your payment. Games will be held in the middle school upper gym Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 2:30 - 3:45 (6th grade has one Thursday).

Who Received The Appreciation Tapestry This Week?
This week the Appreciation Tapestry was presented to our amazing custodial and maintenance
team. They were certainly faced with the huge challenge of digging out from the giant snowstorm and making the sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots safe for everyone. Their great work has been noticed all year long. On a daily basis the building is cleaner than it has been in years and that is a lift to everyone's spirits. Thank you so much to Damian, Brian, Colby, Paul, Larry, Shawn, Tom, and the Director of Facilities, Rob Fortado. Thank you all!
