It isn't gone - just different. The teachers have been working to develop a KOK 5th grade experience right here at IES. On June 9, the students will participate in some camp activities like campfire cooking, creating tie-dye camp shirts, compass reading, and mock kayaking. We know we can't mirror all the KOK activities, but we want students to have some great camp memories as they leave IES.

On Wednesday, May 19, Mr. Anderchak (Principal of Franklin Elementary) and Mrs. Zinsser (Franklin Elementary School Counselor) will visit IES at 9:30 a.m. They will meet with students transitioning to FES to show a virtual tour of the building and answer any questions. The students will be able to put names and faces together and learn a little about FES. Students in PM Kindergarten will meet with Mr. Anderchak and Mrs. Zinsser at 1:00 p.m. on May 20. 

There will be additional opportunities over the summer for families to visit FES and familiarize themselves with the building.

The IES 5th grade Growth and Development classes are scheduled for Monday, May 17. Female students will meet with the Certified School Nurse, Mrs. Meder, while the male students will meet with Mr. Boronyak. The classroom teachers will also be present to assist.

A preview of the Growth & Development Program was held for all parents/guardians in February 2021 and is available online. Parents/guardians have the right to opt their child(ren) out of this content instruction. If you wish to do so, please send in your written request for exclusion from the Growth and Development lessons prior to the date on which the lessons are scheduled so that alternative plans can be made for your child.

If you have any questions, please contact the school nurse, Brianna Meder, at 412-366-9665 or bmeder@northallegheny.org.

This year students will celebrate an in-person Field Day! Each grade level will report to different events/activities including favorites from HPE, inflatables, and Italian ice (thanks PTO). Mr. Boronyak is working hard to develop a schedule while maintaining social distancing.

The activities will be held from Tuesday, June 2 through Friday, June 4. The students will participate during their scheduled special area class time. All students will be able to have some fun and enjoy Field Day. Students should plan to wear sneakers those days to participate in Field Day.

Thank you to Mr. B and all the special area teachers for planning some great activities for our students.
