ANNUAL PICNIC: IDCS is returning to Harkness Memorial Park for our annual picnic this year. The picnic will take place on Thursday, June 16th. We are asking people to please drive if at all possible due to limited bus permits available. We will have 5 buses to transport students whose parents cannot attend/drive. SAVE THE DATE and celebrate with us on June 16th. IDEA provides hot dogs and buns and parent volunteers will help IDCS kitchen staff with cooking on the grill. The rest of the food is potluck style; a sign up will be sent home closer to the picnic date.
Choose Kindness
2021/2022 IDCS Theme
IDCS students have been choosing kindness on a daily basis. We will be highlighting a few students (and maybe even some staff members) in every newsletter. Small acts of kindness add up!

REMINDERS
GOVERNING BOARD: All IDCS Governing Board Meetings are in public and in person. Please use the following link to view the full schedule, along with meeting minutes and and agendas. www.idcs.org/board/
CHROMEBOOKS & IPADS: Each IDCS student has a Chromebook to use for schoolwork. Each student is responsible to take care of the Chromebook. At times, a Chromebook may be damaged. IDCS pays for the repairs to the Chromebook. Going forward, if a student's Chromebook is damaged more than once, “Electronics damaged by abuse or neglect must be replaced by the student/family responsible for the damage.” (Per the 2021-22 IDCS Family Handbook (p27).
VACCINATION: We continue to encourage families to get their children vaccinated. Please send a copy of your child's COVID19 Vaccine Card to Mrs. Rankowitz at [email protected] once your child has been fully vaccinated.
WEEKLY IN SCHOOL COVID TESTING PK-8: We are still offering weekly COVID testing through the COVID DeteCT Project for unvaccinated and vaccinated students in PK-8. Please be sure to print, sign and send the CONSENT Form if you would like your child to participate. If you require a paper copy, please call the front desk to have one sent home with your child.
