In the Know

Hello, Independence families, and welcome to the 2025–26 school year! We’re so excited to see our students back in our classrooms, ready for a year of learning, growth, and great experiences. I want to take just a few minutes to share some important updates so your family is ready for the year ahead. Click here to find information on some important topics.  Thank you for taking the time to read this entire letter.

I know this is a lot of information, but every update is important to helping our students have a safe, successful school year.

You’ll find full details on all of these topics in the messages we’ve sent by email, on our website, and in your school newsletters.

Thank you for your partnership, and let’s make 2025–26 our best year yet!
