Back to School Day

Back to School Day makeup is Tuesday, September 1, 1 – 4pm

Due to health and safety guidelines, “Fees & Photos Days” activities will be pared-down to the essentials for what students need for Back to School. At this time textbooks and iPad pick-ups will be the only two essentials covered on these days. Back to School day will be a drive-up service for students/parents to pick up their books, turn in any overdue books, exchange iPads (9th grade ONLY will trade their IMS issued iPad for an MIHS device) and pick-up an iPad for new students. Click here for the UPDATED Back to School Day traffic map and more information.
