Click here to watch the recap of December's ISD Board of Education meeting.

The 35th Annual Mayor's Christmas Concert put everyone in the holiday spirit. The event featured performances by ISD students and community members and raised money for Community Services League to help local families this holiday season. View photos from the Mayor's Christmas Concert here.

ISD middle school students joined together for a Girls Who Code event hosted by KC STEM Alliance to engage young women interested in technology. Students worked in teams to complete coding exercises, mingled with industry mentors and had their questions answered during a panel discussion with Assistant Vice Presidents from the Federal Reserve of Kansas City. See moments from this empowering event featured on KMBC here. You can view all photos taken at the event here.

5th grade students at Cassell Park Elementary have the opportunity to explore archery in P.E. class. Students learn the 11 steps to archery success and safety as part of the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP). See the joy on their faces as they learn this sport here.

The Independence School District partners with Hazel Health to expand student health services. Hazel offers virtual doctor visits accessible from the school nurse’s office for PreK – 12th grade. By gaining access to this tele-health service, many minor visits can be initiated by an ISD nurse in order to obtain a diagnosis without missing a day of learning. Parents will be notified prior to any virtual visit. ISD families can opt-in to Hazel here.

You can find the student calendar for the 2022-2023 school year here.
