Dear ICS Elementary Families,
We invite you to read Mr. Welch’s message on the Weekly Warrior's Home Page.
On October 16–17—the week we return from Fall Break—we will host our Parent-Teacher Conferences (PTC). This is a valuable opportunity to connect with your child’s teachers, discuss how they are adapting to the new school year, and review their learning progress.
If you have not yet scheduled a time with your child's homeroom teacher, please check your school parent email for an invitation from your child’s teacher and sign up today.
A note regarding Specialist Teachers: Appointments with specialist teachers are limited because there are more students than available 10-minute time slots. Please rest assured that if a specialist teacher has not reached out to you directly, they do not have any concerns regarding your child's progress.
If you were unable to book an appointment with a specialist teacher but have questions or concerns you would like to address, please email the teacher directly. In many cases, questions can easily be resolved via email.
To help you prepare for your meetings, please take a moment to review this Tip Sheet for Parents from the Harvard Family Research Project.
Blessings,
Keith Welch
Kindergarten and Elementary Principal
Mission Delivery Survey
Please take a few minutes to complete our ES Mission Delivery Survey. Your feedback helps us evaluate and enhance our academic, spiritual, and co-curricular programs to ensure we continue providing an excellent Christian education for your child. The survey is completely anonymous. However, if you would like a response to your specific comments, please leave your email address along with your comment in the optional comment box.
Please complete a separate survey for each child attending ICS.
Thank you for partnering with us, sharing your valuable insights, and for your ongoing prayers and support!
