Students are set to return to school tomorrow, January 7th. As a reminder, ICSS places extra emphasis on attendance, as every day of instruction matters.
However, if your child is sick, please keep them at home. The flu is currently widespread across Georgia, and we want to help keep all students and staff healthy.

The Christmas cheer continued at I.C.E.S. today! Mrs. Allyson Tankersley's third grade students enjoyed breakfast and a Christmas party where they each received a personalized blanket, cozy Christmas socks, and a stocking full of treats. The students loved their holiday surprises!
Two students received a kids meal lunch for having the overall highest growth in each subject.
Great job and keep working hard.
Mrs. Ariel Roberts' Kindergarten class at I.C.E.S. participated in a winter time activity by making pine cone bird feeders to give our feathered friends food for the cold months. Afterward, the students wrote about the steps of creating the bird feeders. As you can see, the students enjoyed the activity while they were also learning!
