THE MONDAY MESSENGER NEEDS YOUR HELP!

As a unique environment drawing from multiple high schools and middle schools in our district, we need your help to stay connected and informed!

Do you already receive another school's newsletter or love to keep up with what is happening at the district level? We're seeking liaisons who will be responsible for specific schools or community partners within our district. Your role will involve reading their newsletters and checking their websites regularly to identify any relevant events or opportunities for our students and families. You'll then submit that information to the editor to be added to the next Monday Messenger. By joining our team, you'll ensure that our students and families are well-informed about the incredible opportunities available to them.

If interested, or if you have any questions, contact Jennifer Li, VP of Communications.

RAISE THE TORCH – FALL DONATION DRIVE

 

This year, the ISPTSA will raise and spend more than $100,000 supporting our school and students. These funds will be allocated to important programs that enhance student experiences, provide supplemental materials, and offer grant funding for the school's greatest needs. We invite all IS families to participate in this fundraising effort because we all benefit from the sense of community, academic excellence, and school reputation that these funds support. Please join me in making a tax-deductible donation today to support our students.

DONATE NOW!

TAKE AN SAT PRACTICE TEST

  • Saturday, September 23, 9:00 AM

ISPTSA, in collaboration with Princeton Review, offers an online SAT practice test on Saturday, September 23, open to all students. It's a valuable preparation opportunity for Super Wednesday.

How it works:

  1. Register via ISPTSA.
  2. Princeton Review sets up online accounts.
  3. On test day (Saturday, September 23), students log in for timed and proctored exams, with results available immediately.
  4. Access to the practice test starts on September 23 at 9 AM and remains available for 30 days to accommodate schedules.

Consider taking it in advance of the upcoming SAT on BSD's Super Wednesday, October 11. A $25 PTSA donation is appreciated. Questions? Email Melissa Richardson, VP of Outreach.
