Update: power has been restored to IMS
Update: tonight's 6pm athletic parent meeting will be held at the Civic Center
IMS is still without power from the storms last night, and will unfortunately be closed to parents/students until restored and reopened.
*Updated to add that IMS volleyball practice this morning will be canceled and/or rescheduled to this afternoon when power is restored - your coaches will keep you informed with a revised plan.
We'll post a status update on tonight's athletic parent meeting this afternoon if the power is restored (plan A is IMS at 6pm, plan B is Civic Center gym at 6pm).
Happy Fourth of July to all our Indy students, staff, and families! 🇺🇸🎆

So proud of our IMS Music Department! 💙💛 Our 7th/8th grade choir made history a few weeks ago by being the first IMS choir ever to compete in the OMEA Large Group Contest, and earned Excellent and Superior ratings! 🎶 And yesterday our 7th/8th grade band performed at Cedar Point's Music in the Park and took 2nd place! 🎺🥁 Kudos to Gretchen Obrovac and Michael Greene for all you continue to do for our kids and music education in the district!! 👏🏼💙💛
Our 7th graders had an amazing trip to Dearborn, Michigan today! The day started with a tour of the Ford Rouge Factory, where the students got to witness the active assembly lines making Ford F-150’s ⚙️ Then they went to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, an immersive town and marketplace filled with functioning Model-T’s and artisans plying the trades of Henry Ford’s time.
Huge thanks to the architect of the trip, Dana Yaro-Linderman, and all of our wonderful chaperones! 💙💛 And to the IMS PTO for supplying water and snacks for the trip!
We're so excited to welcome current 4th grade parents to IMS this evening! 💙💛 Reminder that our event runs from 5:45pm to 6:45pm, which will provide you a forum to ask questions and interact with the building and staff.
We look forward to working with you and your children over the next four years! If you have any questions, please get in touch with Mr. Vanek or Mrs. McClain at 216-642-5865 or through email at jvanek@independence.k12.oh.us or lmcclain@independence.k12.oh.us.
