The first week of May, IHS had a Kiwanis and club advisor meeting. This meeting connected our local Kiwanis Club with our IHS Key Club and other service-based clubs. Having this connection will provide our school community to help the greater Independence community. While our clubs offer a lot to many organizations, being able to first focus on the City of Independence will be impactful for our community. Additionally, having our service clubs on the same page will allow for us to be targeted and strategic in our volunteering and fundraising, as our kids are spread thin to begin with. Together, we are “Creating a Welcoming and Inclusive Community Environment!” #CultivatingALegacyOfExcellence
Swinging into the weekend for #ThrowbackThursday 🏌️⛳️ #IHSGolf #HoleInOne
Notice: Temporary Change to Bus 7 Morning Pickup Time - Starting Wed. May 14th

This change is expected to remain in effect for approximately 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the duration of the construction.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Due to staff shortages, we regret to inform you that bus schedules will be affected this afternoon. To ensure all routes are covered, we will need to consolidate services.
High school and middle school students who ride Bus 7 will be dismissed early at 2:20 p.m. and are expected to arrive home approximately 20 minutes earlier than usual.
Students on Bus 8 may experience delays of 10 to 15 minutes.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. Parents who prefer to pick up their children directly from school are welcome to do so. Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work through these challenges.
