Over the summer, our student information system, PowerSchool, went through a significant upgrade. One of the changes affected how contact information (phone numbers, email addresses) is stored in PowerSchool, which, in turn, impacted how Connect 5 pulls this information. We have been made aware that some of our families may not be receiving emails to primary, or multiple, email addresses, or possibly calls to certain numbers. These issues can be resolved by setting up a Parent Portal Account in Connect 5. To do this, you will need your child's school ID number to complete the process. Just follow the detailed steps on the attached document. If you previously created an account, it's possible that you need to associate your child to the account, or you may need to update your contact information. The document will walk you through those steps as well. If you have any issues creating or updating your account, please contact your child's school.

Students may enter the building at 8:35 a.m. and instruction will begin at 8:55 a.m. Dismissal is at 3:50 p.m. Any early pick-ups after 3:30 pm. will take place as part of the parent pick-up process which begins 3:40 p.m. at Door 12.

Any child who reaches the age of 5 by September 30 of the start of a new school year may enroll as a kindergarten student in IWCS. Any child who is transferring from other school divisions, may enroll as a student from grades K-3 at Carrollton Elementary.

Since our founding in 1993, our mascot has been the Cardinal and our school colors have been red and black. Fridays are school spirit days, so please join us in showing your Cardinal pride!
