Happy Fall! The weather this past week has really made it feel like fall is here - crisp mornings, warm afternoons, and some big puddles for good measure. October at ICIS is going to be busy. We start off the month with the end of the first nine weeks on Friday, October 1st.

Parent Teacher Conferences are October 6th and 7th. Hopefully your student's teacher has reached out to get some time on the calendar with you. Our PTO is also looking for your help to put together a lunch for our staff on October 7th. See the link below if you are able to pitch-in.

Our Walk-a-thon on October 8th. Be sure if your student has not turned in their envelope that they do so as soon as possible. This is our one and only fundraiser for ICIS. All funds stay in our school and support student activities.

Hopefully you have already made plans to enjoy some family time over Fall Break - October 9-17th.

The last week of the month is Red Ribbon Week. Our theme days are on the image below. Just be sure to remember these fall October 25-29.

Congratulation to our Midterm Muffin Recipients! These students have been working hard in the classroom, setting a great example, and coming in with a wonderful attitude each day. We are so proud of you!
