Parents! Tell us what you think! Survey to arrive on April 2nd. posted March 15, 2013
Parents are alerted that the annual Parent survey will be distributed on April 2. This is your chance to voice your opinions and affect how your child’s school runs. Surveys will be available for completion through April 14.
JICS will use Infinite Campus to distribute the surveys to parents. If you do not have an account with Infinite Campus, it is easy to set up and convenient to have! Please contact your child’s school to get an account today, so you can be ready to take our survey when the time comes.
More reminders will be coming in the future. Be watching your in boxes!
The mission of the James Irwin Charter Elementary School is to help guide and motivate students in the development of their character and academic potential through academically rigorous, content-rich educational programs.
JICES will build the curricular resources that support the DI (Direct Instruction) groups and Core Knowledge (CK) sequence to meet an enrollment of 515 students. JICES will meet AYP and CSAP goals in Grades 3-5.
These curricula will allow for the dynamic, flexible instructional grouping we need in the basic skills (reading, math, spelling), and will support and accelerate mastery learning in all subjects.
