Independence Local Schools are on a two hour delay due to inclement weather conditions. This is a two hour delay and at this time is not a full day closure. Decisions for the rest of the day will be made within the next hour or two. If you are a bus rider, your pick up time will be two hours later than normal...same thing if you are dropping off your student...two hours later than the regular time. AM Preschool is canceled as well. Thank you and be safe.

🚀 Future Engineers in the Making! 🚀 Our second graders had so much fun with the Marshmallow Spaghetti Tower Challenge! ✨ Using only spaghetti noodles and marshmallows, they worked in teams to build the tallest freestanding structures. Along the way, they learned about stability, the design process, and teamwork—all while having a blast! 😄👏
We’re so proud of their creativity and collaboration! 💡💪

IPS fourth-grade students are once again participating in immersion projects during the school year. Our "SPA-IPS" experience takes 15 students into the world of cosmetology, where students will learn to work on "Manikins" for the next two weeks and conclude their experience with a salon and spa showcase for their invited guests. Immersion projects are facilitated by Amanda Jaronowski, our district Career Development Specialist, and are a partnership with the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center.
Welcome to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! Our first graders had a blast in Design Technology creating their own "floats." Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🥧
