Weekly Message from Principal Allen
Dear ES Parents,
As we end another wonderful year of learning in the elementary school, I want to thank you on behalf of all of us in the elementary school for all of your support. We greatly appreciate your partnership. We wish you a wonderful break, full of family time, lots of friends, time outdoors, good books, and lots of laughter.
If you are leaving ISB and off to new adventures, we want to thank you for being a part of our ISB family and wish you the very best as you transition to your next “home.” Please stay in touch!
If you will be returning to ISB for the 2023-23 school year, please watch for the next ES eNews that will be shared with families on Wednesday, August 2, 2023 with important launch of the year details. Until then, have a wonderful break!
Your partner in education,
Michael Allen

U11 Sports Program Update:
We will be making some changes to our U11 program for the 2023-24 school year. Some of these changes are a result of agreements within our local BMAC league and some are internal changes that we believe will help to improve our athletes’ experience and the quality of our program. For more information about what U11 Sports will look like next year, please check here. We look forward to another year of seeing our programs filled with ES athletes! Go Panthers!
A huge thank you to all our athletes who participated in our U11 programs this year. It was great to have so many athletes involved and to watch the growth and development of players and teams over the course of the year. Parents, thank you for helping to support our program and for all you do from the home end for your child to be able to participate. We hope that you have a fun and active summer! For those who are leaving, best of luck and for those returning, we look forward to seeing you in August! Go Panthers!
