SIC Interest Survey
SIC is a broad-based body intended to advise the principal and school, and is focused on helping to achieve school improvement. We hope that you will choose to join the SIC at Irmo Middle School this school year. We will have meetings once a month and create a positive impact for students and staff. If you are interested, please complete this survey.
Irmo Middle School Spirit Rock Rental
Our Spirit Rock was generously relocated to its new home in the Spring of 2022 by some very kind members of our SC Forestry Commission. It is available to rent for painted messages and advertising. All proceeds will benefit Irmo Middle School PTSO and will be used to support students and to assist in their learning.
Please CLICK HERE for more information and how to sign up to rent the IMS Spirit Rock.
Car Rider Line Procedures
Car Line: Our goal is for the car line to move as quickly as possible. You can help make that happen by making sure you pull all the way to the end of the line so that as many cars can get loaded at one time as possible. When arriving to school, students need to be ready to exit the car with all of their belongings, and when getting in the car in the afternoons, students need to get in as quickly as possible as well.
Morning Drop Off: When your student exits the car, please safely pull over to the left side of the blue line, so that other cars can come down to fill up the car line. This will maximize the number of students who can get out at one time. If you cannot merge over completely, just drive down to the end of the line, and use the zipper merge system to exit the gates. This means everyone will take turns merging.
Afternoon Pick Up: Once your student is safely in your car, and you can merge completely, without blocking anyone, move to the left side of the blue line so that the car line can fill back up and we can maximize the number of students loading. If you do not see your student right away, do not worry, we will call for them to come to you. If there is room to pull up, please pull up, your student will walk to you and load the car once the entire car line is full. Again, we will use the zipper merge system, so everyone is taking turns exiting the gates safely.
Morning & Afternoon: When leaving the Car Rider Line and turning onto Wescott Road, please ONLY TURN RIGHT for safety and to keep the flow of traffic moving as smoothly as possible.
