Good morning, IRS community!

Today marks the first official day of the 2026–2027 school year! While we won’t be welcoming students back until August, our administrative team, technology department, and custodial staff are already hard at work preparing for another fantastic year. From finalizing schedules and setting up computers to getting the building looking its best, there’s plenty happening behind the scenes to ensure we’re ready for our students’ return.

As a quick reminder, while we’ll be available via email throughout the week, we may not always be able to answer the phones right away as we’re busy preparing for the new school year.

Summer office hours:
Tuesday–Thursday | 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

If you need assistance, please email Mrs. Ball at [email protected], and she will respond as promptly as possible.

We hope you’ve all had a wonderful start to your summer, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back in August
