Attention 7th Grade Parents:

Is your child interested in traveling with other IMS students to Washington DC and New York City next year? Come learn more at an informational meeting hosted my Ms. Meeks on May 4th at 6 PM in the library.

It's time for the annual IMS
seventh grade mock trial program!

Every seventh grader participates in this program - it is run through seventh grade social studies classes. We can only make this work with parent volunteers. Youdon't have to have a seventh grader to volunteer! We even have parents of alumni come back because they enjoy it so much! If you are a lawyer or work in the legal field that's great, but we also need parents who can listen to kids and help them with public speaking and otherwise support them. No prior experience needed - you will get a prep email with all you need to know.

Kids will be preparing their cases on April 27, April 28 and May 1. If you can volunteer on any of those days please email Karen Treon at ktreon@gmail.com. Even if you can just spare an hour - we will make it work with your schedule. Thank you.

This is an exciting time for our 8th graders and there are lots of activies planned for them. Click here to read about the  academic, attendance and behavior expectations for participation in these activities. Please review these expectations with your child and support him/her in accomplishing these and joining their classmates on these crowning events. Your signature is required on the forms indicated if you haven't already done so.

AzMERIT - Arizona's Statewide Achievement
Assessment for English Language Arts
and Mathematics

Here is the schedule for upcoming test dates:
April 17&18 – 7^th Reading and Math Part 1 and Part 2
April 18 – 8^th AIMS science
April 20 & 21 – 8^th Reading and Math part I and Part 2
April 25 & 26 – 6^th Reading and Math Part 1 and Part 2
April 27 – May 3 – Make-ups

It is a necessity for students to be at school and on time. Although there are make-up days, it is always much better for students to test with their class. It is also beneficial for students to get enough sleep and eat a good (protein filled) breakfast.

Please help by encouraging your child to give it their best, take their time and review their work to check for completeness and accuracy.

Students should remember to bring their own earbuds for use during testing.
