Superintendent's Message 10/15/2024
Dear Iroquois Family,
Good afternoon below is important information for the week of October 15th:
ANNOUNCING OUR NEW FAMILY SUPPORT CENTER!!
We are thrilled to introduce the Iroquois Family Support Center, created to connect students and families with essential services that go beyond what our school staff can provide. These services include assistance with mental health, substance abuse, food insecurity, job insecurity, financial needs, and homelessness. Our mission is to ensure that families have access to affordable, accessible resources to meet their needs.
We are reaching out to our Iroquois community, staff and students in grades 5-12, to help us by completing a survey. Your input will guide us in assessing the needs of our families, so we can better serve you.
We're excited to embark on this new chapter and are counting on your valuable feedback! Please complete the survey by October 25th. Here’s the link: SURVEY.
For Parents to Know
It's Homecoming Week!
This week, our students will be taking part in a variety of fun activities to boost school spirit and camaraderie. Don’t be surprised if you see your children heading off to school in pajamas, sports jerseys, or even dressed up as their favorite teachers!
On Friday, expect to see lots of Iroquois gear proudly on display as we celebrate the end of Homecoming Week.
Thank you, as always, for supporting this important tradition and helping make it a memorable week for our students!
