IMS students taking Spanish are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month (15 de septiembre - 15 de octubre) by learning about the diverse cultures, histories, and contributions of Hispanic Americans. They created this beautiful banner and tissue paper flowers in honor of their positive impact on our nation.
Thank you to our wonderful PTO for planning Kona Ice on this hot day! 💙💛
Our amazing 5-0 7th and 8th grade Blue devils each honored their Hero at the game tonight. Thank you to all our heroes for their impact and legacy on our students! 💙🏈
We wanted to provide clarification regarding our lunch payment system. Over the past week, we have received several questions from families about delays in seeing deposits appear in PaySchools after adding funds to their child’s lunch account.
Please note that there is a short delay because our cafeteria’s point-of-sale (POS) system operates separately from PaySchools. While the funds are available in your child’s account right away, the balance may take additional time to update in PaySchools.
For the most accurate and up-to-date account details, including transaction history, families can visit LinqConnect.com.
We appreciate your understanding and hope this information helps make managing your child’s lunch account easier.

The community is welcome to attend the Land Lab Open House on Sunday, 10/5 from noon - 4 p.m. Come visit the nature classroom and hike the trails!
On this day, we pause to honor the lives lost, the heroes who answered the call, and the resilience that continues to unite us. May we never forget the events of September 11, 2001, and the importance of coming together in courage, compassion, and community.
