Welcome Back to School
We have had a great first week of school. While everyone enjoys a restful holiday break, it is great to see the smiling faces of students and teachers again in the halls and classrooms of the middle school.
Students and teachers have hit the ground running jumping into the learning of second semester. For some students this has meant some schedule changes to accommodate new electives. In some cases we have had to balance some class sizes and students may have had minor schedule adjustments. Our goal is always to ensure students keep the same teacher for a class, even if they switch class periods.
It has been a good start to 2020 and we are looking forward to the busy and exciting semester of learning ahead.

The ISB PTA presents a special parent session with author Lisa Graff on “A parent’s guide to writing a novel in 7 easy steps”. Join us on January 30th at 7:45 AM in the ES MPR (located next to the Elementary school cafeteria) for this special event.
Yearbook photo retakes
For students who missed the Yearbook photo days last semester, KidsFoto will return to the middle school to do retakes.
If your child missed the photo day, or simply would like to get a different school photo, they should go to the MS Skybox when they are free on Monday or Tuesday (Jan 20-21).
All MS Yearbook photos are taken in the green ISB uniform shirt.
