Winter Recess!
Now that the cold weather is upon us and will be staying for a while, this is a reminder for the children to come to school dressed for the weather.
All students need warm coats, hats, gloves, and boots to participate in recess. To play in the snow, snow pants and waterproof gloves are required.
It might be cold and snowy outside, but inside, IPS students are staying warm and engaged.
