Dear Intermediate School Families,
Last Friday, you should all have been in receipt of correspondence from your child’s teaching team regarding our upcoming conferences scheduled in December. We have afternoon and evening appointments available. Special subject teachers, the math and reading specialists, our school adjustment counselors, and the nurse are also available to meet. If you have any questions, please reach out. Please find access to our staff email addresses here for your convenience.
Book Fair:
Students will be visiting the Scholastic book fair during their scheduled library classes starting tomorrow. Thank you to the PTO board for arranging this and to the volunteers!

Coming home to you soon is your child's custom catalog for the Square 1 Art fundraiser catalog featuring his/her own name and art on the cover, with free stickers of the artwork. You may start ordering keepsakes and gifts featuring your child's art online now if you’d like. Simply search for your child's art using Art Search, and enter our state, school name, and your student's name. Your student's art and code will appear, and you may order. Items ship to Home FREE!
