Hello Trailblazers!

Please enjoy this week's edition of the ITMS Weekly Updates! We're excited to share the latest happenings and updates from our school community to keep you informed and engaged.

Trailblazers, let's continue to ignite your SPARK and "Find Your Path. Own Your Journey"!

Sincerely,

Check out our new chefs in Culinary! Today, they whipped up a delicious batch of biscuits and gravy while building their cooking skills and confidence in the kitchen. Great job, Trailblazers! 🎉

School News and Updates

This week, our Trailblazers earned time in Club SPARK! Students are allowed this opportunity during their lunch with a friend of their choice for receiving a positivie recognition form from one of the adults on campus. Students receive this for going above and beyond in their demonstration of our SPARK expectations. Students are also allowed to use their "SPARK Bucks" to purchse various items from our store. Way to go, Trailblazers!

Important Reminders

2026-27 bell schedule, click HERE.
Please talk with your children about the importance of having their IDs accessible to them at all times. All students received a free ID at the start of this school year; therefore, it is expected that they have them available. IDs are required to gain access into the interior buildings, their bus, helps expedite the lunch line during checkout, and helps us identify students, if needed. If your child has lost or broken their ID, that will not excuse them from being late to class and they will be marked tardy if they do not have a pass. Therefore, if you need to purchase a replacement ID via MySchoolBucks, click HERE.
