Team 8-4 Fun Friday during KT
Learning is not easy. The content gets more challenging as students get older. It’s made MUCH more difficult if students are not focused. Let’s set our students up for success by eliminating unnecessary distractions. Students experience both immediate and long-term rewards when they fully embrace the challenge of learning.
It’s not easy, but it’s worth it!
On Monday, September 30th, our 8th graders will be participating in an activity focused on mental health and suicide prevention. The GiveMe20 program was started by two local moms who lost their teen children to suicide and now they are working to make a difference in how we view and talk about mental health. The 8th graders will hear directly from the moms and then create “life boxes” to keep with them during hard times as they move on to high school and beyond. We’re looking forward to an impactful activity for our students. To opt your student out of participating, please email nicolenelson@smsd.org.

Academic Learning Lab (A.L.L.) is our after school tutoring here at IHMS. If your student needs time or help after school completing any assignments for school, they are invited to stay after for A.L.L. This is totally optional, but there will be a couple of teachers there each day to facilitate and support student’s needs.
A.L.L. is hosted in the IHMS Library Monday through Thursday from 3:50-4:35pm. Activity bus will run at/around 4:35pm to take students home if need be. We look forward to seeing your students there!
