Welcome new staff! A great morning of introductions and tour of all three school buildings. Our new staff especially enjoyed the school bus ride through the City of Independence to IPS! #iPride

The 6th and 2nd graders had a wonderful afternoon together at Elmwood Park today to celebrate new friends and all their hard work. 6th-grade parents donated snacks and treats and helped pass out all the goodies while the teachers hosted multiple stations of music and dancing, chalk, field games and time at the park.

Power is back on at IPS!

IPS families,
We wanted to let you know that IPS does not have power at the moment. We are working with the power company to restore it.
If you need to reach anyone at IPS, please call central office at 216-642-5850.
We are finishing our day as usual. Buses will not be impacted at dismissal.
Thank you!
