Independence Elementary School Events for 2011/2012
We are happy and excited to have you as part of our student body and parent support team. The following information is an overview of the school events and activities that we have planned for this year. Our goal is to get as many parents involved in these activities as possible. Not only does this make the workload lighter for everyone involved, but it's a great opportunity to get to know other parents and have a great time.
IPTC - Independence Parent Teacher Club Meeting
We are planning to have our board meetings on the 2nd Wednesday of every month, assuming that this does not conflict with other school or district events. These meetings are your chance to find out what is going on and to voice your opinion on activities, fundraisers and how these funds are being used.
