Attention families of Seniors! We are asking for feedback regarding Graduation for Class of 2020 Seniors. This form will help administration and the School Board make decisions that will help determine how our district will celebrate our seniors.
Please be aware that per the "safer at home" order, we are not allowed to have more than 10 people at an organized event for school until after June 30, 2020. We would prefer to have a traditional graduation, but right now, that does not look possible.
Thank you in advance for your participation by completing the survey. We are asking the parents and guardians of current seniors about their opinion. Seniors will have a survey also. As of April 27, 2020, we are NOT allowed to have school-sponsored activities on grounds until at least June 30, 2020. Due to insurance, the outdoor theater is not possible.
A link is found below, and it is also found on our "News" tab under the article discussing this survey.

We wish we could see you in our regular setting, but for now electronic communication and phone calls will have to do. You can see us in this video though, and see how much we miss you!

Wrestling families: Please return your wrestling singlet to the school.

We ask that you please return these for next year's use. Thank you!

In 1976, the esteemed career of Principal Ernest Modjeski began at Ithaca. He guided countless students and community members during his time at Ithaca and in their lives after they left our community. Mr. Modjeski passed away on Friday, April 17th, and we extend our sympathies to Mr. Modjeski's family and all who mourn the loss of a great man and amazing educator.
