Welcome Class of 2024!
October/November 2023
Dear Students and Families,
As we begin the start of our final year before graduating, it's important to reflect on our journey thus far. We've come a long way since our first day, and it's incredible to think of all the knowledge we've gained, the skills we've acquired, and the friendships we've formed.
As you prepare to enter High School, it's important to remember that this year is not just about finishing strong academically, but also about preparing for the next chapter of your lives. Please remember to take advantage of all the resources available to you here at IS24.
Let's not forget to enjoy the present moment as well. This is our last year together as a class, and we should make the most of it. Let's attend all the events, participate in all the school spirit activities and make new memories that you can carry with you into High School.
Please be sure to join our Class of 2024 Google Classroom. This is where information is being shared regularly.

New this year is our High School Articulation Google Classroom. This will have updates on everything you need to know regarding admissions, acceptances etc.
