January 17th-20th

 February 24th is the last day of the second trimester, and it will be the last day to AR as well.

Currently, only 40% percent of the class is between 50-100% of their AR goal, with 1 of those students already meeting their goal.  

2nd Trimester Conferences:
Since second trimester conferences are optional, we will be hosting Student-Led conferences sometime in March. These conferences are a pleasure to watch and I hope you are available to attend. Please know that your child will be putting a lot of work into their conference, and it would mean a lot to them for you to set aside a small amount of time that week to come in and watch them present their conference to you. More details on the specific date and time coming soon.

Community Service
ILCS is a leadership school and service is something we value greatly. Your child is required to complete a service project and 8 hours of service this year. The project will be due in the beginning of May, but I wanted to remind you in case you completed some type of service over break. Remember to take pictures and document dates and times service was completed.
