IPS principal for the day, second grade student, Oakes!
Mr Dave is off today as well… Cam is Mr Dave for the day! He helped run the fire drill, test out some of the cool equipment, and even had the opportunity to sit on Mr Dave’s bike!
Power is back on at IPS!
IPS families,
We wanted to let you know that IPS does not have power at the moment. We are working with the power company to restore it.
If you need to reach anyone at IPS, please call central office at 216-642-5850.
We are finishing our day as usual. Buses will not be impacted at dismissal.
Thank you!

The 4th Grade Art Club recently completed their final project, which was a student-favorite activity. Students were given the opportunity to design their own personalized tumblers. Throughout the year, the class worked on various projects using a sublimation printing process to transfer their artwork to products using a heat press.
E.B. had a hippity hoppity time visiting all the IPS classrooms today! 🐇🐇

Over the past several years, our math department has been working within the existing schedule to add support for our advanced and gifted students. As our student needs are changing, our middle school is being responsive to those learning needs.
Our math teachers, Mr. Vanek, and Ms. Wargo (Gifted Coordinator), set out to understand where we were and how we can leverage our student data to improve where we can be. Our teachers met weekly to create a roadmap to explain math placement and help students and parents understand how best to support their student's learning.
This work is still in progress and growing. As teachers work through the process we are seeing the need to develop math courses that are advanced for the grade level; not just subject-level accelerated. We are impressed with the content knowledge, focus on student needs, and work ethic of this group of teachers. #DidYouKnowFridays
Bethany Majeski from the Cleveland Metroparks visited our IPS 3rd grade as part of the @CVCCWorks Career Speaker Series. She spoke about careers in science and brought critters for our students to see!
