Need Jury Volunteers: 6th & 8th grade have received their jury dates. During their jury, 6th &8th graders present their portfolios to a team of assessors in a jury presentation. The team of assessors is typically made up of two adults including a MS admin. or curriculum coord. & a community member (an IACS parent). Students share pieces of work and provide evidence of why they believe they are ready to be promoted to the next grade. Successful completion of a jury presentation is a promotion requirement for 6th & 8th graders. We will need many community members to volunteer as a member of a jury panel. If you can give an hour or more during the school day (juries start at 8:00 and go throughout the day until 4:00) this spring, please contact Paula Girouard at giroua...@comcast.net or stop by the main office.

collect as many box tops as you can by March 29th. The student collecting the

Hurry, all boxtops must be submitted by 3pm on March 29th.
E-Boxtops: Have you signed up at the Boxtops website? Well, why not? Did you know they have coupons for some of your favorite boxtop products? Or that they have a recipe for Orange Teriyaki Beef with Noodles? Yum-Yum! Well you must know about the games you can play to earn a boxtop for IACS, right? And by now you’ve already started using the links in the boxtop marketplace to shop at your favorite stores. I earned IACS $1 in e-boxtops today buying ink for my printer. Have you printed your February vacation photos yet? Use the Shutterfly, Snapfish, Target or Walgreens links to earn e-boxtops for your school. When you start making your summer travel plans don’t forget they have links for Hotwire, Orbitz, Seaworld and even some hotel chains. My sister in law is expecting her first child anyday now and I already have started perusing OshKosh B’Gosh, GAP, The Children’s Place and Babies R Us for cute outfits. My girls would rather I click the Justice, Aeropostale or American Eagle links. My hubby asked me to use the Walmart link to purchase some dog food and vacuum bags for our house. Aww the housework never ends. Whatever your need check out www.btfe.com . Shop to the marketplace to peruse over 250 retailers or find a great recipe for dinner. Thank you for supporting the IACS!
