New Albany Intermediate School

We are incredibly proud of our students for demonstrating RISE behaviors this past week as we began state testing. We have a large, open concept building and students traveling to lunch, recess and specials were very respectful of classes who were testing. Please remember to send your child to school with a fully charged iPad, a full night's rest and encouraging words to show all they know on their test as they have certainly gained a wealth of new knowledge this school year. Thank you for being amazing partners in education!

Have a wonderful week!

BUS SAFETY

Bus drivers have noticed an increase in unsafe behaviors as students get out of parents vehicles at the bus stop to board their bus. Please remember that students should arrive at the bus stop five minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive and that students must wait in a location clear of traffic and away from the bus stops. Please review these procedures with your child and help maintain safety for all students at our bus stops.
