Please remember there is no school on Monday, September 14 due to the District Institute Day.
We look forward to seeing students on Tuesday, September 15.

This means that students will have to enter their email address to sign into Zoom. District student email addresses are a student's user name with @k12.ipsd.org at the end. For example adriemor1234@k12.ipsd.org
Just an fyi, after clicking the zoom link and being prompted to sign in, you will need to log your child in by choosing "sign in with Google".
After doing this once, you should not have to do it again. However, if you log in on a different device, you will be prompted to follow the attached steps again.
