ICS RUNS ON FAMILY DONATIONS! 

Curriculum Enrichment! Art Day! Clubs! Scholarships! Much of what makes ICS a great school depends on parent financial support. We are off to a fantastic start. So far, we have raised 34% of our total budget. Thank you to those who have already donated!

In order to move forward with confidence, we need to fully fund our annual budget in the fall. Securing our budget requires each of us to contribute in September. Please help our students by donating now – donations that come in later in the year may be too late to support this year's activities. We ask for $225, and matching funds in addition, so we can cover our proposed budget. If you have a question, please reach out to treasurer@icsptsa.org. Thank you!

ORDER YOUR ICS SCHOOL GEAR TODAY!

We are excited to announce that the ICS Logowear Store is now open! Shirt, hoodies, lounge pants, and hats are available. Click here to order or use the QR code below.

Orders will be bulk shipped to ICS for distribution. The Logowear store closes Monday, September 30 at 11:59 PM. All sales are final. No returns or exchanges.

INFORMATION FROM MRS. PETERSON ABOUT LAPTOPS

"Happy beginning of the school year and thank you for your support for ICS and for the library! We are so grateful for you!"

A quick reminder about laptops: For students who have had a laptop at home this summer please ask your student to charge, log-on and re-start their laptop before the first day of school. Remind them that their username is now their student ID number, and the password will be the same as last year’s. If your student doesn’t remember their password, no worries! If you registered with password recovery, use this link. We can also reset the password at school so have your student charge the laptop and restart it without logging in and then they can stop by the library for a password reset first thing. 

For our 6th, 9th and new students, if they missed checking out a laptop on August 29, I’ll have a laptop ready for them in the library on the first day of school.

Thank you for your help getting our students ready for a great school year!
