Teachers will be collecting assignments the first week of school.

the obligation list, or we may need proof of residence. In either case, you will need to come in to the main office to pick up.
Our summer office hours are M-TH FROM 8:00A.M TO 4:00P.M.
As a reminder, you may pay school fees online through School Cash Online which is located on the District website.
School meals and other miscellaneous fees may be processed through cashless schools.
Please be sure to read and review our school dress code so that your child will be in compliance. Student Identification
cards (ID badges) are a required part of our dress code, and must be visible at all times. Please read below for the dates and
times to have your child/ren pick up a class schedule, student ID badge, and also purchase a lanyard and agenda. IMS T-shirts

Yearbooks
Yearbooks for the 2016-2017 school year will be on sale
using the link on Ed-line or at www.yearbooksforever.com this
summer and throughout the year. They will also be on sale in
school once the students return.
•
Beginning July 3 – August 14 for the extremely
discounted rate of $30.00 - ONLINE ONLY!!!!!!
•
August 15 – October 16 the price will increase to $35.00.
•
October 17 – December 31 the price will increase to
$40.00.
•
January 1 – April 9 the cost will become $45.00.
After April 9, the yearbooks will not be on sale in school
or online until the yearbooks have been distributed to the students
that preordered one. The day following the yearbook distribution,
students who did not preorder one will be able to purchase a
yearbook for $50.00 cash or check payable to IMS and receive
their yearbook at the time of the purchase.
The benefit to ordering the books online is that there are
many options you may add such as having your name stamped
(engraved) on the front cover, adding an iTag (which allows you
to affix a tag with your name printed on it to any part of your
yearbook) and many other great options that are worth looking
in to.
Sales will also be taking place in school once the students
return, however, the great options that are offered online are not
offered in school. The price changes apply to in school sales and
online sales.
Reminders
Deliveries:
At IMS, we do not allow the delivery of miscellaneous items (i.e. lunches, homework, money, ect.) forgotten at home. This
policy will lay the foundation as we begin to work together to help our children develop the sense of responsibility and become a
responsible citizen. This will also assist home and school routines. There will be an amnesty period for everyone to become aware
and have an understanding of this expectation. We will implement this policy starting September 1, 2016. It is our recommendation
that you begin the first day of school preparing your student for this expectation.
We recognize how difficult it is to let our children encounter difficult situations. However, if we work together to allow our
children to handle “leaving something needed at home” we are strengthening not only character but building their self-worth.
Student ID’s and Dress Code:
Please see enclosed information regarding ID’s/Dress Code and our Bell Schedule. In an effort to reduce the amount of students
who do not wear their Student ID’S, please check your student each morning to be sure they have their Student ID. A great suggestion
is that the student attach it each night to their back pack. Also, equally important is to make sure they are in IMS dress code and please
remember that their Student ID and lanyard is a part of the required dress code. Please refer to the student agenda at the start of the
school year for more detailed information.
IMS Student Government
I would like to acknowledge the IMS student government council for doing a great job in supporting SOAR all year, The PBSO
Unified Food drive, The Great Kindness Challenge, The United Schools Foundation, and creating a large thank you poster for the
Copy Cats’ efforts. The council also went on a field trip to Dwyer HS to visit SGA (Student Government) to observe many of the
activities included at the high school level.
The members include:
•
8th grade: President- Cressa Bronson, Vice President – Emily Cronin, Secretary – Emma Cavendish, Treasurer- Quinn Jacobs,
Historian – Emily Evans, Parliamentarian- Alicia Kaufmann and honorary member- Nicole DiCola.
•
7th grade: President-Ryan Sheehan, Vice President -Nick George
•
6th grade: President- Devyn Koerner, Vice President- Drake Moretto
The students worked with a great deal of commitment. I am proud of our council and wish them continued success in all
they pursue.
All of my best, your council leader, Mrs Igo.

SUMMER SAFETY TIPS
•
BIKING: Remember to wear a helmet and equip your bicycle with lights and reflectors, lock your bicycle
when not in use, and obey all traffic laws.
•
SKATEBOARDS: Remember to wear a helmet, safety gear and only skateboard in designated areas.
•
WATER SPORTS: Always be familiar with your surroundings, weather and water conditions, wear a life
vest, take a boating safety course and obey all boating laws.
•
SWIMMING: Take swimming lessons, learn CPR, do not climb over a fence or a gate to get to the water,
always ask permission to use the pool, stay clear of all drains, and monitor the weather conditions. NEVER
SWIM ALONE!
•
TRAFFIC: Slow down and don’t text, it can always wait. School is out and there will be more pedestrian/
bicyclist traffic out and about. Roll up all windows, lock all doors, keep valuables out of sight, and park in
well-lit areas.
•
HOME: Just a reminder to secure all windows, doors, and garage doors. Store away all valuable items after
use. Keep your entrances and yard bushes trimmed and well lit. Consider investing in some outdoor motion
detection lighting. Use your alarm (if you have one). When on vacation take advantage with your local Police
Department’s “Home Watch Program.”
Officer Harbar will see you in August!!

News from the IMS Creative Writing Club
(Sponsored by Mrs. Mary Ali & Ms. Desiree Vetere, Language Arts Teachers at IMS)
Congratulations to the following two 7th Grade IMS students: Gaby Haire and Jenna
Mather. They submitted their short story selections to and were selected as the middle school
finalists in the 3rd Annual Let’s Write Together competition. This competition is sponsored by
Trimark Press and the Friends of the Palm Beach County Library System. Their selections
were included in the Let’s Write Together 2016 publication. These students—along with a
group of Palm Beach County elementary, middle, and high schools students—were honored
at an award ceremony held on Friday, May 20, 2016, at the Hagen Ranch Library in Delray
Beach. Congratulations again, students, on your successful publishing efforts!

Pre-Business IT Academy Students
Experience Job Interviews
Each year, Pre-Business IT Academy students from Ms. George’s
Computing for College and Careers course learn the important soft skills
needed for employment including preparing applications, resume’s and
interview skills.
On May 24, 2016, students in this high school credit class interviewed
with the following local businesses: Roger Dean Stadium, Cobb Theatres
Downtown 16, Pinnacle Kids and Velocity Community Credit Union. These
businesses sent up to three supervisors to interview several students for positions
normally acquired by students their age. Each student, dressed in professional
business attire, participated in two to four interviews with different companies
for various job positions. Students researched each company and job position,
prepared questions for interviewers, and created personal resumes for each
interview and business.
In the past, several of Ms. George’s students were offered positions during
these “mock” interviews! Although obtaining a job is not the goal of this lesson,
it is a great indicator that our business students are prepared and ready to enter
the workforce. These interviews provide the school to work connections that
students need and enjoy.
We are grateful to these local businesses and their management team for
providing our students with this exceptional experience. Please support these
local businesses to help us show our appreciation for investing in our IMS
students’ futures.
