Dear Parents,
As we head into the completion of the first quarter of the 2025-2026 school year, I am very pleased with the progress students are making in their studies. We very much appreciate parent feedback, and I want to express my thanks to the PA for all their great work coordinating communication, events, and constructive feedback.
In line with this we want to survey the parents by grade level to make sure we are hearing good things that we’ve missed, as well as any questions or concerns. Using your school issued parent email addresses only, please complete the grade level surveys that were sent to you this morning so that divisional leadership can continue to ensure that you and your family are well served by ICS. I look forward to hearing from you, and you are always free to email me.
Blessings,
Kiel Nation, D.Min
High School Principal

In anticipation of the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, the World Languages Department is excited to announce a Han Fu Day celebration on September 29th for Secondary and October 3rd for Elementary. We encourage all students to wear their prepared Hanfu (Chinese traditional clothing) to embrace and celebrate our rich cultural heritage during this festive occasion.
On this day, students may choose to wear Hanfu to school; alternatively, they are required to wear their school uniforms. We believe this event will provide students with a wonderful opportunity to learn about and appreciate traditional Chinese culture while deepening their understanding of the significance of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
We invite you, as parents, to engage in this celebration by preparing Hanfu that reflects the unique characteristics of Chinese culture. Your involvement will not only enhance your child's experience but also foster a sense of pride in their heritage. Whether it's selecting a beautiful Hanfu or sharing stories about its significance, your participation will enrich this cultural celebration.

Whether you plan to attend university near or far, you can stay on track with the SAT. Most colleges—including those that are test optional—still accept SAT test scores. Together with high school grades, the SAT can show your potential to succeed in college or career. And if you're thinking about studying abroad, there are more than 400 universities in 85 countries outside the United States that use the SAT in the admissions process.
Parents, be empowered and equipped with the knowledge and resources you need to support your child's growth and success. This page provides resources, and we hope to help parents navigate the challenges of parenting and support your child's overall well-being.
