Keep Staying In


We at PTSA understand how the stay in this past month has brought an array of challenges.  Please do continue to stay in, wash your hands frequently, and keep social distancing to help our front line health providers and workers with the best possible chance to do the important jobs they need to do. Wishing everyone continue to be safe and stay well. We will get through this together. #NHSbettertogether

IPSF PATS Campaign


Funds raised from the Parents Appreciating Teachers and Staff (PATS) campaign directly support grants for IUSD staff and students. PATS is an easy way to show our teachers, nurses, and administration how much we appreciate all that they do! For a small donation, IPSF provides NHS teachers and staff a certificate of appreciation, which includes a personal message from you and your student, along with a small gift as an expression of gratitude during National Teacher Appreciation Week in May.

To contribute to the PATS campaign and purchase your gift of appreciation, please visit: www.ipsf.net/pats
