PRINCIPAL LINSKI NOTES - Week of March 4, 2024
Dear ISAAC Middle School Families,
As we approach the end of the 3rd quarter on March 15th, 2024, I wanted to take a moment to remind you of the importance of ensuring that all missing or late work is submitted promptly. Encouraging our students to stay on top of their assignments is crucial for their academic success. By completing their work on time, they can effectively demonstrate their understanding of the material and maintain their progress throughout the quarter.
Additionally, I would like to emphasize there is two days left for new prospective students to apply to ISAAC Middle School for the 2024-2025 school year. If you know any families who are interested in joining our vibrant community, please encourage them to submit their applications before the deadline. We welcome the opportunity to welcome new students and families into our ISAAC family through our lottery.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in your child's education. Together, we can ensure that every student at ISAAC Middle School has the resources and support they need to thrive academically and personally.
Best regards,
Principal Linski
