Patriot Families

Dear Independence Academy Families,

We hope you enjoy the Memorial Day weekend as we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who served and sacrificed for our country.

Next week is the final week of school, and we are excited to celebrate the accomplishments of our Patriots as we close out another successful school year!

Please note that Friday is a half day dismissal:

* K–2 Dismissal: 11:45 AM

* Grades 3–8 Dismissal: 12:15 PM

Celebration Times:

* 5th Grade Clap Up: 10:00 AM

* 8th Grade Clap Out: 11:00 AM

As excitement builds during the final days of school, we ask for your partnership in reminding students that the Patriot Way remains extremely important. Expectations for behavior, respect, and safety are still in place, and poor behavior will not be tolerated.

Thank you for your continued support throughout this school year. We are proud of all our Patriots and look forward to finishing strong together!

Have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend!

Mrs. Ringdahl
Principal
