The first day for our new students is off to a great start! These students settled right in and were already engaged and ready to learn. You'd think they'd been in school together for weeks! Feel free to share your first-day photos in the comments!

In the last 3 months, 193 James Irwin families raised $838.29 for the school by shopping at King Soopers and participating in this program. What would happen if we had 200 families participating? (JICS has over 2,000 students!)
You can now help James Irwin Charter Schools every time you shop at King Soopers!
Simply go to www.kingsoopers.com/topic/king-soopers-community-rewards. Once logged into your King Soopers account, you can search for James Irwin Educational Foundation either by name or HA731 and then click Enroll. New users will need to create an account with your loyalty card number and your email address. Thereafter, every time you swipe your card when you shop at King Soopers, James Irwin Charter School benefits!
If you don’t have a loyalty card, you can pick one up at the customer service area. Then you just create an account with your email address and your loyalty card number!
If you have questions, please email [email protected]

Great information!

Did you know? Students ages 18 and under can access free summer meals across Colorado Springs. Since JICS is part of three different districts, we’re sharing their information here, plus a few additional districts that support many of our students.
