PARENT AND FAMILY SUPPORT
As parents and family members of our ICS students, you play a crucial role in the development of your sons and daughters. One of our AMAZING teaching pillars states, "Parents are the primary educators of their children." As partners in the education of your child(ren), we value, respect and honor your role as primary educators of our students.
Along these lines, we also value your hard work, dedication and commitment to ICS! Our Home and School efforts this year have yielded over $60,000 for the school, helping ICS to continue to enjoy strong financial stability. With the ICS Dads Club Golf Outing still to come (May 17), your generosity and commitment to ICS will help us to more firmly establish and execute many of our long-term plans such as: new computers for teachers, the beginning of an Early Childhood program, and online curriculum planning and assessment software to help assist student learning and promote academic growth. Thank you!
