Dear Ivory Intermediate Families:
|
|
|
Welcome to Ivory Intermediate, where our motto is “Learning is Required”. We work every day to see that our staff and students live by that motto. We are so excited to learn and grow with your family this school year!
Each month, the Ivory Intermediate Monthly Newsletter will bring you a roundup of news, events, and updates to keep our community connected and informed about our educational journey. Please also pay close attention to Stay Connected: Weekly District News, which you'll receive each Sunday. It contains important events and reminders for our school.
Our faculty and staff are committed to providing a safe and creative school climate by building positive relationships, resulting in high academic and social achievement for ALL students. You are an important part of our community. Support from our students’ families is vital to their success as scholars. We look forward to partnering with you throughout the school year.
We are excited to have the opportunity to educate your child this year, and we’re looking forward to a year of learning and growing together.
Thanks,
Cindy Bever
Principal

Last week was a big week for our fourth-graders! After learning about the House System, students took turns spinning the wheel to find out what house they were joining. On Friday, we celebrated House Sorting Week by having a House Colors Shirt Day!

Game Day Tattoos start Friday, August 30
|
Ivory Intermediate PTO will be selling $1 tattoos on Cardinal Football Varsity home game days!
- During Friday lunches, PTO volunteers will have a Cardinal Pride Table in the cafeteria.
- Every student who brought tattoo money will receive their tattoo from the Cardinal Pride Table on Friday!
Volunteers are needed! Please join PTO in the cafeteria during your child's lunch Friday if you can help.
Thank you for supporting PTO! All funds raised are used to support our students and staff, including fun student incentives, items for the clothing closet, and treats for staff.
Home games will be on August 30, September 27, October 18 (Homecoming), October 25, and November 8 (Senior Night). PTO will sell tattoos on these dates, except for September 27 when there is no school for a Staff PD Day.

Help us reach 100% student registration this week!
|
Ivory Intermediate families, it is SO important that you complete your child’s registration today if you haven’t already. Our school and classes need this updated information to be our most efficient. This is so important that each homeroom class that reaches 100% student registration this week will receive an EXTRA 15 MINUTE RECESS!
After Labor Day, we will begin awarding individual points to students who are living out our CARDS. You will receive a shout-out from Mrs. Bever when your child earns points, and we need your current contact info and contact preference (email or text message) to share the good news with you!
Why is completing registration so important?
- Updated registration gives us your current contact information in case of a question, concern, illness, or emergency.
- Updated registration allows us to use photos of your child on our school’s social media pages. We want to highlight your child learning and having fun at school!

We love providing opportunities for our students to discover and explore their interests! Mrs. Hollis is the sponsor for the Honor Choir and the new Ukulele Club. The Honor Choir will meet at 3:15PM and end at 4:15PM every Tuesday beginning September 3. Beginning on September 3, the 4th grade Ukulele Club will meet at 7:15AM until school begins every Tuesday. Beginning on September 5, the 5th grade Ukulele Club will meet at 7:15AM until school begins every Thursday.
The Ivory Intermediate Step Team will be holding auditions on September 4. Our dance coaches are Mrs. VanHook and Mr. Launius, and they can't wait to get started with this year's team! To tryout, students must return their permission slip, prepare a school-appropriate dance, and wear athletic shoes to tryouts.
