HUGE thanks to the IMS PTO and Jaime Grassian for the additional support and dinner for our teachers for parent/teacher conference night!! 💙💛
Today our 8th graders participated in the first of a four-part immersive career exploration experience with the Cleveland Clinic!
The Cleveland Clinic Center for Youth and College Education has been working with Amanda Jaronowski, Jamie Vanek & Ben Hegedish to design this multi-step partnership. The Clinic is sending experts from different fields to IMS over the course of several weeks to talk with our 8th graders, sharing the multitude of healthcare opportunities ranging from medical caregivers to engineers, art curators to A.I. specialists, and so much more!
At the end of this experience the Clinic will host the entire 8th grade at their main campus for a day, where they will visit the state of the art simulation center, take a behind the scenes tour of main campus, have lunch with employees, and immerse themselves in the Clinic culture for a day.
Our first All-Pro Parent Breakfast of 2024 is this Friday 1/26 at 7:15am for 5th Grade 💙💛 Hope to see you there!

With school closing and the weather warning remaining in effect, we are canceling today's ski club for IMS. We are looking to reschedule with Boston Mills and our transportation office. Once a date is finalized, Mrs. Frate will communicate accordingly. Stay warm, and hope you all enjoy the long weekend!
The district secured a grant to update security cameras across all buildings. After months of planning, the new safety-focused camera system is in use providing additional safety at all our locations. #DidYouKnowFridays
No school today - Friday, January 19. While forecasted accumulations of snow were known last night, the forecasts actually became more severe with more snow expected. Stay safe, have a great weekend, and go Blue Devils.
Stay warm and safe out there! 💙💛

Here we go Brownies, here we go!! 🤎🧡
Eighth-grade Spanish students in Mrs. Corrigan's class were able to incorporate History with Spanish! In honor of MLK Day on Monday, students were given a few different versions of famous MLK quotes to translate and analyze. After learning online the who, what, when, why of each quote's significance and recognizing vocabulary previously learned, students will apply how MLK's legacy can be applied to the world today. Can't wait to read their responses on how they can be difference makers in 2024! #IPride
Hope you're all having a great start to 2024! It's been wonderful having our students and staff back in the building after the winter break 💙💛
We'll be having a Browns spirit wear day tomorrow ahead of this weekend's wild card game, so wear your orange and brown to cheer them on! 🧡🤎

Happy Holidays from IMS!!
Staff and students are thoroughly enjoying their last day at school before the winter break. This morning while students participated in an I-Pride Assembly, which featured a 1st trimester culmination WIMS newscast and honored our December students of the month and I-Pride shout out winners, the IMS PTO treated our staff to a wonderful breakfast!
We later had a surprise visit from Santa, and had some amazing PTO volunteers in the lunchroom providing a delicious hot cocoa buffet ☕️
Our 5th graders had a lot of fun presenting historical skits they’ve been working on for their very own Christmas Readers Theatre 🎭
And we’re currently being serenaded by the IHS vocal ensemble, to be followed by the IHS band in a special holiday concert just for our staff and students 🎶
We are grateful to all who have made this wonderful day happen, and look forward to all the things that 2024 will bring! Stay safe and enjoy this winter break with your friends and families 💙💛
Don't let the Grinches fool you - IMS has oodles of holiday spirit!! Here are some pics from our first few days of spirit week ❄️🎄☃️
