Family Update 8/13/21

Happy Friday IRE Families,

We are so excited to have our students joining us next week! We have been working hard to get the building ready and are eager to have our students join us. As of today, we will be welcoming 363 students next week at IRE. We cannot wait to see all of their smiling faces! They energize us! We are here to love and support our students! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher or to the main office. We are here to help!

Please see the important information below as you prepare for next week. 

Thanks!

Marty
