Participate in 12G Literature Panels: Wednesday December 16

/

Next week, the Humanities department will be conducting the first of TWO 12G Literature Panels for our amazing seniors who have been working on their graduation requirement for literature. The seniors will be presenting and defending the critical and creative work they did in analyzing the novels, plays, etc. that they have been reading and writing about for over five months.

Sitting on panels is a great opportunity to see the kind of critical reading, writing, and creative work our seniors have been doing in literature. Your participation on the panels will also be a big help to the Humanities department. We feel it is important to involve the I.C.E. parents in the panels, giving ALL "I.C.E. family" members an opportunity to observe the seniors as they share their work.

Involving the I.C.E. community beyond just the staff and students is what makes these panels so special.

The dates of these panels are:

Wednesday, December 16th

Wednesday, January 13th

On EACH of these days, panels happen TWICE, from 1 to 2:15 AND 2:20 to 3:35. While of course it would be wonderful if you are able to volunteer for both panel days AND to sit in on both panel sessions each of those days, we understand this may be very difficult.  So we are hoping that you may be able to volunteer to sit in on panels for at least one of the scheduled days (or, even one panel on one of the scheduled days).

If you are interested and able to participate in this wonderfully enriching activity, please fill out THIS google form.

Once you fill in the form, we will fill you in on all the details for how the panel will work – and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you for your help,

Jeffrey, Juna-Willa, Katie H.

Virtual Open House Thursday December 10 @ 7:00 pm

We also welcome families in 8th grade who would like to learn about our high school. We will present our unique curriculum which covers the entire seven year program. Regarding the high school process, please know that there are on average only 5-15 available spots for 9th grade. Also of note for our incoming 6th grade class, we will be giving priority to applicants eligible for Free and Reduced Price Lunch (FRL) for up to 50% of our seats.

We do not have specific details or guidelines about our school’s admissions process as we are still awaiting the city’s decision regarding screened schools. 

Attendance at an Open House is NOT a factor in the admissions process.

Day One is excited to begin our third year of providing the Early Relationship Abuse Prevention Program (ERAPP) to the ICE community.
