Principal’s Message:
Dear Imai Families,
We started the administration of i-ready D2 in grades K-5. Tuesday and Wednesday was reading and Thursday and Friday will be math. Please remind your child to take their time reading the questions and to always strive to do their best.
We are collecting gift cards to Safeway, Walmart, Target or Costco to give out to families in need for the holidays. Please bring them to the office or have them delivered electronically to [email protected]. Thank you in advance for your support.
Imai's Children Business Fair 2024 (Grades 2-5)
We are looking for young entrepreneurs with creative business ideas, who love to create, make, build and innovate to showcase their entrepreneurial spirit and skills. If that is you, come join us and let's have some fun! Our young kid-preneurs will develop a brand, create a product or service, build a marketing strategy, and engage with customers at our AM business fair marketplace. Parents and students who are interested in wanting to learn more must attend a mandatory meeting on February 6th from 5:30-6:30PM. For more information, please stop by or email Mrs. Siam.
If you are a parent who participated with their child last year and would like to support the Children's business fair planning, please email Mrs. Siam.
