We are so excited to announce that the Indian Springs Middle School Band has been invited to perform at the 2024 Music For All National Concert Band Festival in Indianapolis! We are proud to represent Keller ISD on the national stage at this prestigious festival on March 21-23, 2024.

Music for All is one of the nation's largest and most influential organizations in support of active music-making through educational and performance programs and advocacy. To receive an invitation by audition to the Music For All National Festival is to be recognized as one of the finest scholastic music ensembles in America.

We are so proud of our students for the countless hours of hard work they have put in to reach this major accomplishment, and can’t wait to begin our journey together to an incredible performance and trip in March. We would also like to thank the parents, private lesson teachers, ISMS staff, administrators, clinicians, and band directors in the Keller feeder pattern who have endlessly supported our students. Pack your bags, we’re going to Indianapolis!! 🔵

Incoming Beginning Band students: Don't forget, NOW is the time to be purchasing your band supplies and/or instrument for the upcoming school year! Please email Mrs. Chance ([email protected]) if you have questions about how or what to purchase.

Congratulations to our outstanding Academic Pentathlon participants!! They participated in the Nationals and placed 14th overall. This is an incredible honor and we are so proud of them! Take a moment to congratulate these students in the comment section.

All supplies must be ordered by June 19th if you plan to order supplies through EPI.

Attention: ISMS Pre-athletics and Athletic students

Dear ISMS Families,

As a reminder, all students must return their KISD issued Chromebook and charging cable tomorrow, Wednesday, May 24th. These devices will be collected during the school day. Please double check that your student has their device with them tomorrow morning before leaving for school.

What if my student's Chromebook and/or charger is broken or Iost? Chromebooks are accepted even if they are broken. If you are missing your Chromebook, you need to see Mr. Thorn ASAP to figure out your options, as you must return your KISD issued Chromebook in order to be issued your new device.

Microsoft Surface Go 3 Distribution

In addition to the August 10th date that was shared last week for new device distribution, KISD Technology personnel will be in the ISMS library M-Th, 8am-4pm, July 17-August 4, to check out new devices to all 23-24 ISMS students. In order to pick up the device, students will need their school ID.

Students who are moving to another KISD campus, including our 8th grade students who will be moving on to Keller High School will pick up their new device during the dates that are shared and communicated by their new campus.

If you have any questions regarding Chromebook return or new device distribution, please contact Mr. Thorn.

Thank you!
