NOMINATIONS FOR 2026-2027 ICS PTSA BOARD
 (volunteers still needed for open positions)

These are the nominations for PTSA Board for 2026-2027 school year. The new Board will be voted in during our final Parent Meeting on May 13.

We are still looking for candidates for all the OPEN positions. Please email

president@icsptsa.org to nominate yourself or to ask any questions about the open roles. If you know a parent who would be a great addition to the board, let us know that as well.

ICS Cookbook

Did you know that two years ago the ICS PTSA Diversity Equity & Inclusion Committee put together a cookbook consisting of much-loved recipes from ICS families? It was beautifully put together by fellow parent, Tarek Azoz, and worth a look: ICS Cookbook.

Lunchroom Volunteers Needed for May!

ICS lunchroom volunteers now need to obtain their Food Worker Card. Obtaining your card is a relatively short task, costs $10, and is valid for two years. This is beneficial for all kitchen volunteers in order to keep all our kids safe and healthy. Apply here and you can print a copy of your card and bring it in the next time you volunteer.

Requirement: 11:35 AM - 12:50 PM

Responsibilities:

• Direct kids to the lunch line
• Help serve food items
• Help clear up after lunch by putting chairs back into storage.

Sign up to volunteer: Lunchroom volunteers.

Back Up Chaperones Needed for Focus Week

Are you able to be fully available for any day of the week May 19 to May 25? A last-minute adventure/travel junkie? An approved LWSD volunteer? Please contact: maryoemig@icsptsa.org to sign up to be a backup chaperone. 

Back up chaperones will receive 1 hour of volunteer credit for being on standby. Additional credit will be earned if you are called to duty. Backup chaperones must be prepared to serve on ANY track that has a need. Please send all of the following in your reply:

1. Name
2. Days available (list each available day; or all if you can do the full week)
3. Gender for sleeping (in case an overnight trip needs a chaperone)
4. Availability to drive (in case the senior trip needs you)
5. Availability to fly (in case a travel trip needs you)
6. Confirmation that you are an approved volunteer through May 25
7. A phone number you can be texted or called at any time - you may receive a call to service at any time during Focus Week.

We are so grateful for our back up chaperone volunteers helping us be prepared for any eventuality!
