This week's Musicians of the Week are Zander Mefferd-Leddington for Choir and Denver Bowder for Guitar class. Throughout the year in choir, Zander has become a natural leader. He is eager and willing to help classmates, brings up creative ideas to Mr. Kurt, and takes critiques seriously and applies them to his singing. In Guitar class, Denver is not afraid to ask questions when she needs help, performs at a high level, and shows the ability to improve on her own. Mr. Kurt appreciates the dedication both of these students have. #TheBulldogWay

Hello future 7th and 8th graders! It is time to start thinking about the classes you want to take for 2023-2024 school year. As an IMS student, you have several choices you can make. Filling out the google form that was emailed to you, helps you get the classes you want. If you don't fill it out you will get stuck with whatever the computer puts you in. Please submit the form as soon as you fill it out. You can open it, make changes, and resubmit it as many times as you want to until it is locked on February 15th. We encourage you to discuss the options with you parents. Not every class on the enrollment form will be available. We will use this form to help us figure out which classes are most desired. If you aren't sure what a class is, you can check the Course Catalog that I am linking below or ask a teacher or counselor. The Enrollment form can only be submitted by using your school email address.
