Bill Schoolcraft, transportation supervisor, would like to remind everyone that students at the MS/HS are to be picked up and dropped off in front of the buildings at the flag pole enterance.  The service drive behind the buildings should be kept clear for busses.  This is an important safety issue for our students.  It puts them in an unsafe environment when vehicles  drive by them as they are being picked up or dropped off.

ILMS science textbook adoption for grades 5-8 will be available for review
during any school day in the old counselor's office. Please complete a

March 20 and April 8 from 7:00-8:00 pm. For additional information please
contact Matt Hirsch, Middle School Principal, at 231-238-6868, ext. 2.
