Wondering what this involves? It’s easy, just hang out and keep an eye on these seniors as they watch the Hypnotist show, have a nerf gun battle or play soccer. This is a great opportunity to help our community and keep our kids safe as they celebrate the end of High School. Please call Charlotte to let her know you can help: Charlotte at 978-996-6443

Calling all Volunteers! On Monday, June 10th we are inviting all community volunteers to kick off your morning with breakfast so IACS can say THANK YOU! It doesn’t matter if you supported an IACA event, helped a teacher with a classroom project, chaperoned a field trip, assisted with an extracurricular program like athletics, drama, after-school club, etc.

The breakfast will begin at around 8:15 and will be informal by design to encourage conversation, reflections about the year, and maybe some exchange for new ideas. While the event typically lasts an hour, guests can certainly leave early if you have commitments. For planning purposes, it would be helpful to know if you are able to attend. You can RSVP by sending a quick email to Karen Drake (kdrake@innovationcharter.org)

I.AM Program

Does your teen seem easily overwhelmed by life? Do they have difficulty motivating or following through on tasks? Is their primary way of coping distraction (i.e. cell phone, Netflix, YouTube)? Do they seem lost or aimless? Are you worried about their transition to high school, college, or beyond?

This summer, IACS is offering the I.AM program to further support the social emotional well-being of our students. This program seeks to empower youth to take ownership in developing their own self-care practice, in really starting to understand who they are and what matters, and doing so in a way that embraces their authenticity and increases their motivation.

If you have additional questions or want more information about I.AM, please email Debi at drogers@innovationcharter.org.

IACS Summer Reading book sale

We will have a limited number of copies of each summer reading book for sale at the BBQ on Wednesday. All books will be $10 ea. Books can also be borrowed from your local library or purchased from your favorite bookstore.

Tyngsboro Public Library Summer Programs

The Tyngsborough Public has several summer programs available plus all your students need to get their summer reading requirements done.

Even if your students (or teachers) do not live in Tyngsborough,

they can still get a local-use only Tyngsborough Library card which

allows them to still check out TPL books and use our online resources.

Any students in Grades 1-12 qualify and need to come into the library

with a parent to fill out an application. They also need to show a

school ID with graduation year.

Because the Library belongs to the MVLC, students can use their own library card from

their town/city library to check out materials.

Please clink on the pictures below for complete details.

Dual Enrollment for 2019-2020

Just recently, Middlesex Community College has decided to stop using the Accuplacer Exam to determine a students eligibility to take a Dual Enrollment class. Instead, they will now use a students PSAT score along with the recommendation of their English teacher. Students must earn a 480 or higher on the Evidence Based Reading and Writing section of the PSAT. Most of our students should qualify for Dual Enrollment classes based on this new criteria. For students that have not taken the PSAT, but would like to, we will be offering the exam in school next year on Wednesday, October 16th. For students that have not taken the PSAT yet, but would like to take a Dual Enrollment English class during the first semester of next year, they will be able to as long as their current teacher recommends them and they sign-up to take the PSAT exam in October.

College Acceptances

Our students will be attending fantastic colleges and universities next year…view the complete list HERE.
