Senior Photos Needed for Graduation Ceremony
Parents of ICS seniors, each year at the ICS graduation ceremony, we have 2 slideshows of our seniors. The first slideshow will contain 4 photos of your students through childhood. The second contains a baby photo and senior photo of your student. Over the next 6 weeks,
please email me 1 senior photo, 1 baby picture, and 4 childhood photos of your student to
Cindy Simon (ICS librarian). Email is best but we do have a scanner at school that can be used if needed. We can also take the pictures on a flash drive or as a shared OneDrive if this helps. If you need more information, you can contact
Ms. Simon.

Volunteering at ICS - Reminder
We are coming to the end of the first semester this year. Have you been volunteering and reporting your hours to the website? This is a great time to think about volunteering - the end of the year will be upon us in no time, and then it is very difficult to find opportunities to fill the 30 hour annual commitment.
A few reminders:
- Focus Week is May 22-26. Parent volunteers will be needed and requests for assistance will be posted in future newsletters.
- Volunteer hours cannot be gifted or transferred between families.
- Hours can be earned by adult family members or caregivers.
- Site Work Parties/Clean up hours count for ALL family members who attend - students, siblings, parents, etc.
If you need help finding opportunities, please read the weekly newsletter - this is where volunteer opportunities are advertised. You can also contact committee chairs directly if you'd like to work with a particular committee. Their contact information can be found in the school directory, or at this
link on the
PTSA website. If you still need help identifying opportunities or have questions, please contact
Kathy Thompson and
Julie Kotler. Thank you in advance for supporting our school, staff and students!

Reporting Volunteer Hours
Here is how to record your volunteer hours:
- Log into the PTSA website using the log in form on the right side of the homepage.
- Click on Input Volunteer Hours under the Volunteering menu item on the left side of the screen.
- Complete all of the required information and click on the 'Submit' button. If you've already entered volunteer hours in the past, your last entry will be pre-populated on the screen. Simply edit the 'Category', 'Hours', and 'Comments' (if necessary) and click on the 'Submit' button once. If you do not click on the 'Submit' button, your hours will not be recorded.
Please note: You must first create an account on the website in order to record your hours. Once you've registered and 'confirmed' your registration, please allow 24 hours for your account to be approved. You will need an active account to enable you to post your volunteer hours. If you have questions about reporting your hours on the website or have trouble with logging on, please contact the PTSA webmaster for assistance. |

ICS Office Volunteer Opportunity
The ICS office is looking for help on
Friday mornings from 7:15 - 9:30 AM to answer phones and assist students and parents who come to the front desk. It would be best to have the same person volunteering each week. Good communication skills and attention to detail are necessary. They would like to have someone ready to start as soon as possible. If you are interested or want more information, please email our
Volunteer Coordinators.
