February 14th-17th

Team Urban,

It's hard to believe that Spring Break is right around the corner. Please mark your calendars as February 24th is the last day to AR. Also, since second trimester conferences are optional, for many, we will be hosting Student-Led conferences during the week of March 13th - 17th. I will be sending out emails for individual private conferences if needed this trimester. More details on the specific date and time for student-led conferences coming soon.

Also, please remember that 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. The project will be due the first week in May. 

Our class will be having a small Valentine's Day celebration on Tuesday, February 14th from 12-1. If you can contribute to the celebration, we would greatly appreciate your donation. Thank you to those families who have already made contributions. Please know that your child does not have to distribute Valentine cards, but if they choose to, they must include everyone in the class.
