Good evening IES families! Just a reminder, Valentine’s Day will be celebrated in the classroom tomorrow Friday, February 12th. In order to maintain our COVID-19 mitigation strategies please refrain from sending in candy, goodie bags, cards and/or other items. Students will still have the opportunity to celebrate because the teachers and staff at IES will be planning and running the Valentine’s Day parties in a similar fashion to the Halloween and Winter parties! The party activities will allow for students to stay in their classroom and remain socially distanced. Treats, snacks, and activities will be provided by the district. We are looking forward to a fun and safe day tomorrow!
