Chiefs Spirit Week Coming UP!
Chiefs Spirit Week Themes:
IPS Student/Parent Teacher Conferences are coming up!
We have student led parent teacher conferences on February 12th and February 13th. You will be scheduling those with the student's Advisory teacher by Google calendar invite. Teachers should have sent that out today or on Monday of next week. Please be sure to sign up for a time slot either Wednesday or Thursday as this is a part of their English grade of preparing a presentation and presenting this. We are looking forward to having really amazing attendance for these as our students have been working hard to talk about what their future plans might include. Thank you for signing up as soon as possible.

Eligibility report news:
Eligibility report ran today and we have 68 out of 689 students who have D's and F's in their classes for this quarter. I would like to remind all students and parents that we have after school study hall available for any students on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 3pm -4pm. Those study halls are staffed by two certified teachers who are willing.
Car Loop Update!
We have worked hard to improve the car loop and thank you to all of our parents who are pulling up to the sign which is next to the light pole after the Activities Entrance exit. We are going to continue to improve this process by having all students for car loop coming out of the Activities Entrance and stationing along the sidewalk to help make this process improve even more. We are down to getting almost every student loaded by 3:05, so it has improved. Please remember to pull all the way forward for both drop off and pick up so we can get our students in and out of school as quickly as possible.
BLMS Booster Club needs adult help for Boys Basketball Games!
