#ThrowbackThursday: Last week, our art teacher, Ms. Romano, visited ICS to prepare an art choice board for our scholars to receive at tomorrow’s supply pick up between 1:00 - 6:00 pm. We look forward to seeing our scholars and their families in the ICS carpool lane!
Today we passed out about 250 chromebooks and supply kits to our students! We will pass out additional chromebooks and supply kits tomorrow from 8 am - 6 pm!

In this heart breaking time, we have an obligation to talk with our students about race and take actions to dismantle white supremacy within our schools.
You can have appropriate conversations about race with your students. You can. You don’t need approval from your administration first, or signed parent waivers to have these conversations. Don’t over-complicate things. Just open the space and discuss.
ICS has been awarded $10,000 from @GOSA_GA We are so grateful for this grant that will let us further support our Beloved Community!
