IA Newsletter: The Scorpion
May 2021
Principal News
This certainly has been a school year that I will never forget. Through all the ups and downs, twists and turns, openings and closings, the IA staff, students and families have met and overcome every challenge. As we approach the last few weeks of school I want to express my heart felt appreciation and gratitude to the entire IA community. Tough times come and go, but amazing people last forever.
Sincerely,
Michael P. McConnell
“The most blessed principal in all the land!"

Promotion
We are so excited that we will get to hold Kindergarten and 5th grade promotion ceremonies, unlike last year when we were forced to have drive-by promotion ceremonies.
Our promotion ceremonies will be very small, limited to one class at a time, adhering to strict health and safety protocols but we get to celebrate our students! Woohoo!
Kindergarten Promotion: Wednesday, May 19th.
5th grade Promotion: Thursday, May 20th.
Library Update
Thank you so much for the incredible support during the Barnes and Noble book fair! We are adding new teacher and student favorites to our library collection this week!
The last week to check out library books is May 3rd - 7th. All books need to be returned the following week. Overdue notices will be going home this week for any books that are more than 3 weeks overdue. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Spruce at dspruce@amphi.com or 269-4617 if you have questions regarding your students’ books.
Spirit Days
Student Council has declared every Tuesday as Kind Tuesday and every Friday as IA Color Day. Spread Kindness every day, but make Tuesday extra special. Wear your kind gear on Tuesdays. On Fridays, sport your IA gear or the school colors, Orange, Purple, Blue.
