Monday Dismissal Changes

/

Dear ICE Families:

At the most recent PTA meeting, I discussed a proposal to change our Monday dismissal time to 2:09 pm. The parents present at the meeting expressed overwhelming support for this change in a vote, as have the teachers.

Beginning on October 16th this schedule will begin and remain unchanged for the future. This change is made possible by removing one advisory period from the school week. No academic courses are affected.

Thank you all for your input into this decision, and please know that after-school activities will begin at 2:15 on Mondays from now on.

Thank you,

Pete

Calling All Marathon Runners

/

If we can gather 5 marathon runners who will commit to running for ICE we can become an official charity partner of New York Road Runners (NYRR)! This would be an amazing opportunity for ICE and could result in a $10,000+ donation to the school. Each runner would be guaranteed a spot in the New York Marathon in exchange for a commitment to raise $2500 (runners pay their own registration fees). After the race, $450 per runner goes to NYRR and the rest goes to ICE so we would earn a minimum of $10,200. Please contact Amy Gropp Forbes if you are interested in participating.

 

2017-2018 Kickoff Meeting for ICE Parent Action & Education Advocacy Committee

Thursday October 5 | 6:30 PM

ICE, 5th floor, look for signs for exact room #

New and returning families interested in public education/progressive education advocacy! Please come help us set goals & plan for the year.

In past years, ICE PAC has acted to inform and activate the ICE parent body regarding city, state, and federal education policy and to organize the middle school grades' boycott of the NY State spring tests. We rarely meet in person, so please consider setting aside time for this special occasion.

RSVP to Kemala appreciated but not required.
