ROBOTICS CLUB SEEKS A CO-LEAD

Our Robotics PTSA Club meets Friday after school, and we're looking for a co-lead to help guide our middle schoolers through the year. No robotics experience is needed, just a bit of enthusiasm and a willingness to learn alongside the kids.


Interested or have questions? Email vpactivities@icsptsa.org. 

PHOENIX DAY NEEDS YOU!

Save the Date: Phoenix Day, January 25, 2027!


Phoenix Day is a tradition that makes ICS special. You can learn more about it by looking at last year's Phoenix day here.


Please consider joining the planning committee. We are still looking for an Assembly Lead to explore options for the Phoenix Day assembly (show, karaoke, performance, etc.).*

We want to hear from you! Whether you have a creative skill, culinary talent, hobby, or something fun you'd love to share with students, we'd be excited to hear your ideas. Please email us at: vpactivities@icsptsa.org.*
