Our car line is moving much quicker now that we all have the hang of it! Please do not drop students off in other parking lots to walk over to SIS. We do not have the staff to man every crosswalk near our school, so for the safety of all kids, please come through our car drop off-line. Also, just a reminder, the front drive is for bus traffic not car traffic. Thanks for your help in this safety matter.

We had a "Grand" Night Thursday! We loved seeing and visiting with our Grands!! Thank you all for coming to celebrate with us!

Just a friendly reminder that we are a peanut/tree-nut free campus. This includes all items brought in lunch boxes and snacks!

If you are riding the bus for the first time or even a previous bus rider, remember our expectations of the bus.

We had a great week at SIS! We spent a lot of time going over behavior expectations. We are excited and ready for a great year!

Car tags are required daily to pick up students. You will be asked to come inside if you do not have your car tag. Each additional car tag needed will cost $1.00. Those will be available in the office to parents and guardians.

Chartwell's will begin serving snacks Tuesday, Septermber 4!

We always welcome you to SIS for lunch. Due to the limited seating in the cafeteria, we are taking reservations during lunch at school. Please call Michelle or Laura at 870-942-7488 to make your reservation. We will take reservations one week at a time. One family per table, please.
