We need our IMS parents to step up to help with the IMS 5th-Grade Parent Information Night next Tuesday, March 10th. The PTSA is helping our IMS administrators by providing refreshments for the fifth-grade families who'll be welcomed to our school that evening. Helping is as simple as sending in cookies, granola bars, or other easily bought items. Please sign up HERE to bring in a snack or help host the table. Thank you in advance for your help!

VOLUNTEERING AT IMS
We would love to have you consider volunteering at IMS. All volunteers must complete the District’s online registration and be approved before they can volunteer at school. If you were approved to volunteer last year, you still need to sign in to the District’s online system, complete the training, and update the required information. Please remember there is a delay between completing the volunteer application and getting approval, so don’t wait till the last minute to start the process. Click here to sign in.
