You saw it at Friday's Ice Cream Social and hope it serves as a sweet reminder: when we come together, great things happen. This is just the beginning! Every donation helps us continue these programs and find new ways to strengthen our school community. Supporting the PTA makes it happen all year long. 

We aim for 100% participation and we are only at 51%! We still have a LONGway to go.

Become a member today and be the cherry on top. Might be a tad cheesy, but "Sundae" just might be the perfect day to join the PTA!

Grade 5 Families: come be part of the magic and join the Stage Crew for Finding Nemo Kids and help bring the show to life!

What better way to celebrate your last year at ISD! We want every 5th grader to join in this special tradition. And if you’d rather be creative behind the scenes than perform on stage, this is the perfect way to shine!

The stage crew works under the direction of Ms. Brittney Veniga each Tuesday in the Art Room from 3:50 to 5:30pm. The crew will work together to create a set for the Tank Gang and learn how to use the sound board, lighting, and projections. 

Sign up for stage crew here. 

We’re looking for parent volunteers from Grades 4 and 5 to help the Musical cast and crew students transition on rehearsal days for a short period of time from 3:25-3:50pm. 

Sign up to chaperone here. 

Our Green Team is looking for a donation of a gently-used sharing fridge (in good working condition). Unfortunately, our old fridge has quit on us. A tabletop or stand-alone fridge would be perfect. If it's a table-top fridge, it needs to fit on a table that's 17" x 24". 

The sharing fridge is an important part of our lunch program - it lets kids place untouched, packaged food (like yoghurt, fruit, individually-packed cheese, muffins etc) inside so that others can take it, helping reduce waste. 

Send us an email if you have a fridge to donate!

We need your support to keep the ISD Traffic Circle running safely and smoothly each morning. This is a fun and easy way to start the day - and a great way to greet our students! 

ALL families are expected to SIGN UP for at least one traffic circle slot per child per classroom. Teachers and class parents will follow up to ensure all spots are covered.

Mr. Lantigua's class kicks off this week! 

If you couldn’t grab your shirt on Movie Night, we’ll be handing them out again tomorrow - Monday morning, September 15th at drop-off. Magnets are still in transit - we’ll update you as soon as we have them.

Looking for more Spiritwear? Visit our local vendor - Logos Greenwich - to browse the entire collection available. Take advantage of our special ordering window that's open from now until THIS Tuesday, September 16th to avoid shipping fees.

What a magical evening it was - with over 600 of you who attended Friday's Ice Cream Social & Movie Night! From the first scoop of ice cream to the last laugh during the movie, your presence turned a simple school event into a cherished memory for our children and families.

The joy on the kids’ faces as they were served ice cream by their “celebrity scoopers,” the excitement at the photo booth, and the warmth that filled the night, all of it was made possible because of you. 

Your willingness to step in, sprinkle fun, and share smiles created the kind of atmosphere that makes ISD feel like a true family.

After some serious rain-out drama last April, and desperate nail-biting over last Sunday’s weather forecast, the baseball gods finally smiled on us - sunshine, good vibes, and a great game! 

We had a fantastic time cheering on the Yankees vs. Blue Jays. Go Yankees! Thanks to the Family Events team for organizing this event!

Mrs. Daur's 4th grade class is excited to receive a brand-new Rocket Blaster, Parachute Men, and Soccer Ball made possible through generous funding from the PTA’s Recess Grant Program. These fun new additions to recess will encourage active play, teamwork, and plenty of smiles. The school community is grateful to the PTA for supporting students’ well-being and helping make recess even more engaging.

School Photo Day, an ISD tradition, was held last Monday and what a gorgeous day for photos it turned out to be! It was heartwarming to see the kids and staff smiles light up the fields throughout the day. 

Thank you to our PTA Past President, Roli Agrawal, and wonderful parent volunteer Beth Kampf who helped us with the logistics on the day. 

Retake day is scheduled for Monday, October 27th.

If you haven't yet ordered your children's photos, click here.

Any orders coming in now will incur an $8.00 handling fee.
